History

In Turmares Tarifa we have more than 25 years dedicated to whale and dolphin watching. This project was born from the dream of a group of nature enthusiasts, who dared to explore a sector that was practically unknown in Spain at the time.

Turmares - Patrones

The origins of Turmares go back to 1996, when one of the founding partners started to go out in search of cetaceans with the first passengers. A few years later, in 1999, the company was formalised and became the first company to offer whale watching in the Strait of Gibraltar.

At that time there was little knowledge of the species that could be sighted in the Strait of Gibraltar. In line with our philosophy of development and sustainability, we went a step further and created the figure of the biologist and scientific guides, a team made up of biologists and experts from various scientific disciplines, who contribute their specialised knowledge to enrich the passengers’ experience. We will call them all, in short, biologist-guides, in charge of informing the passengers and transmitting our passion and knowledge of these species. In addition, they collect sighting data, take photographs and document the information obtained, contributing valuable material to the cetacean research carried out by our scientific department.

Once the scientific and environmental education department was created with the biologist-guides, we also founded the audiovisual department to equip all the boats on our trips to the sea with professional cameras and lenses, both for video and photography. This is as necessary for photo-identification and filming of cetacean behaviour as it is indispensable for publishing content, as it provides us with an extensive archive of high quality photos, useful for both marketing and professional production companies.
Moreover, this is what connects us partners: our shared love of nature, the sea and our passion for filming and photography.
