Top Tenerife Dolphin Watching - page 2

Was a great experience, the staff were very knowledgable and friendly. it was abit of a bumpy ride but we were warned of this on arrival and were offered an alternative but decided to go ahead anyway which we feel added to our experience. It was a fun journey and we saw some whales which was amazing, the staff were good at identifying the animals that we could see and telling you abit about them, they were very considerate to keep space between the boat and the animal and being very careful not to startle them. Had a chance to stop and swim we chose not too but enjoyed relaxing during the stop, there are snacks and refreshments available at a price. Overall loved it would highly recommend.

The marine experts shared fascinating information about the marine life in a way that was easy to understand, engaging, and never overwhelming. You could tell they truly care about the animals and educating their guests. The boat ride itself was very smooth and comfortable. We were lucky enough to see both dolphins and pilot whales up close! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tenerife!

You need good waterproof suncream, drinking water and adequate fitness but you may see dolphins and turtles if Marco rings them first. There's good instructions from the guide throughout. Be careful with loose items, one pair of sunglasses got lost when a couple got back into completely the wrong canoe and upended another single canoe in the process. A strapped down container is provided for your locker key back at base where you can leave your belongings. You can also strap down your flip flops. If you don't have much upper body strength getting back into the kayak is a challenge. Fortunately Marco our instructor dragged me back in twice but it was undignlfied to say the least! Overall a worthwhile trip but you must be willing to pay attention for your own safety. Don't underestimate the challenge, one canoe had to towed back by Marco as the occupants struggled and im pretty sure I will ache tomorrow. You may be asked to take your canoe back to the meeting point on a little dolly if you are on a later tour so be prepared to pull your weight!
