There’s no mistaking that aah feeling. The whale is a majestic figure and recently I was lucky enough to go behind the scenes at Loro Parque to meet the whales and two of their trainers at the Orcarium.

Steve is an experiened trainer but Lia from Puerto de la Cruz has just started. Find out what their day involves and find out more about them and the four star turns. You can see the two page story under features in The Tenerife Sun, pick up a free copy from one of 300 points around the island or see the online version above.
