Amazing experience
The best trip we’ve ever been on while on holiday. Perfect for every age group. Pick up time was accurate, with clean and tidy van and a polite and professional driver. The actual boat trip was faultless, informative tour guide, lots of dolphins and whales and lots of memories made. We stopped for 30 mins for food which was included and the opportunity to swim in the sea. Unlimited drinks from start to finish. Nothing negative to say about the trip.

Fantastic Cetacean Tour
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!

Relaxing outing with Francisco who knows the landscape and is an expert in the water. There is time for quiet observation, learning, and experiencing. We enjoyed close up whale encounters, time at the cliffs, and a special lunch with fellow travelers.

We were very lucky to see pilot whales and dolphins very near. Very knowledgeable captain (Ion) made the experience excellent, learnt loads about the wildlife and the island. Very easy to book/arrive etc and was much less invasive to the wildlife than the big loud boats. Thanks so much!

Excellent tour
Excellent tour with respect for the animals. Not too crowded. Friendly multi langual crew. Unfortunately some robe was broken so no sailing but moving by engine. The music was not particularly my choice but not too loud and once in a while it was turned off. Highlights: * the pilot whales which we could see ànd hear (through a mic into the water). * The swimming in the bay * the food & drinks were sufficient.

A great trip with excellent crew
This was a great trip, the crew were very respectful of the wildlife. We did manage to see dolphins and pilot whales.
Crew members were happy to take photos for you on your own phone/ camera. Sea was a little choppy at times and a couple of people were poorly, the female on the staff was very attentive to those who were poorly. Would definitely recommend

This was so good!
This was so good, I’m glad I booked the last one of the day as 1) Was a nice number of people and 2) Caught a stunning sunset at the end. Tour itself - some of it was luck - perfect conditions, we saw several Pilot Whales - including a mother and calf - important that it was in their natural habitat, had a great little swim in the bay too. Brilliant tour, very happy.

Relaxing tour without pressure
Peaceful boating trip on the seas of Tenerife, no hassle or pushing of the crew, very relaxed atmosphere and very helpfull throughout the trip.
Serving beverages and handing out the meals was done with the necessary skill, we've seen whales and enjoyed the sun on the catamaran. It wasn't too crowded as other boats we've seen around us.
The captain was very skilled and sailed us around with ease and explained a lot about the marine life and the island while we went.
Had some trouble parking in the harbour and when eventually found a spot in the city, got a call asking where we were, luckily just made it in time!
Would definitely book again with this company!

Had a tremendous experience a couple of weeks ago.
We had Moses as our instructor and he was fantastic a easy explanations for handling and went above and beyond looking for the animals in the water. Pure fun and joy, I wish more places had such friendly and nice people working there

Captain Guy is the best!
We travelled with Captain Guy who was absolutely fantastic, he is knowledgeable about the ocean and the animals living in it, it made the tour so fun.
I would highly recommend going with Guy as he is such a fun Captain, will defo be booking again. Thank you for having us!

Beyond incredible experience!
We booked this because of the great reviews and he DID NOT disappoint! Being on a smaller boat made it easier to get up close, plus he was very knowledgable. You could also tell that he cares for the wildlife there by not chasing after any animals and just letting them get close to us with the boat engine off. I can't recommend him enough!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
The Canary Islands are a prized destination for animal lovers, as several species of whales make their way here throughout the year. These Tenerife whale-watching tours let you catch a glimpse of these amazing creatures, including sperm whales, pilot whales, finback whales, and even dolphins. You’re not likely to see this many cetaceans from the shore, so hopping on a boat with an expert guide is something every visitor should experience.
