Top Tenerife Outdoor Activities

We thoroughly enjoyed the Tenerife yacht trip, and would recommend it. The trip had been booked for us as a gift, so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Fortunately we were very pleasantly surprised! The service from our guide, and the Captain, was first class. We were very well looked after from start to finish which really enhanced the trip from our perspective. A range of local alcoholic and soft drinks are available throughout your time on board, along with a selection of light snacks. We enjoyed the food very much, but those with a hearty appetite may benefit from bringing something else or dining beforehand. Think light finger food rather than a full lunch. The route itself was well planned, with our lovely guide happy to point out landmarks and share her local knowledge. The boat departs from Puerto Colón, sails out to the border of the North/South Atlantic and then heads back for a stopping point where it is possible to swim in the ocean or use the water equipment. Paddle boards, sea-scooters and snorkels were available for guests to use, which was a nice surprise. During the first stage, you may be lucky enough to spot diving sea-birds, flying fish, sea turtles, or even dolphins! We caught a glimpse of several but this is perhaps not the main aim, should you desire a nature watching trip - it’s more of a bonus. The trip also brings you close to ancient lava flow caves, where sea-birds can be seen nesting. Around thirty minutes later, the final stage of a the cruise takes in the Adeje coastline back to port - ending a very pleasant few hours. During the voyage, there are various places to sit on board: the front for sun-seekers, the back which affords some shade, and the flybridge. However, those with motion sickness may find that less comfortable as it feels the waves a touch more being raised up. Our advice: if you book the transport option, confirm the location ahead of time. This was slightly challenging but there were no issues at the pickup time. Note that drinks are forbidden on the minibus, which was a mild frustration having just ordered a takeaway coffee! A little flexibility would have been appreciated but such is life, it did not diminish a great day out. We also recommend bringing towels, sun cream, and possibly a change of clothes if you plan to swim. Happy Sailing!

We had an amazing time. The staff were friendly & knowledgeable & gave us lots of interesting information.We were a small group of 10 people & were lucky enough to see a large pod of dolphins, & some of them swam & jumped right alongside our boat. We also saw several pilot whales. It was a great trip & I would recommend it to anyone.

It was a great experience with fewer than 10 people on the boat - we saw whales and dolphins and were able to swim under the magnificent cliff. The staff were all super helpful and friendly - they are knowledgeable and offered drinks, fruit and sandwiches on board. We would highly recommend.

AMAZING! I booked this as a sunset cruise, accepting we may not see any whales/dolphins, however we ended up seeing around 10 pilot whales that came up close to the boat!! It was absolutely amazing and totally made our trip!! The 2 hosts were fantastic, lots of juice/alcohol available, as well as blankets for later on when it cools down. There was snacks - pretty basic but done the job of filling you up for a few hours! Would highly recommend! The highlight was definitely seeing a baby whale with its mum up super close and them being playful near the boat! Small tip - bring sunglasses (as we forgot) and it was rather bright sailing around; ans absolutely bring a jumper as it gets quite cool later on - again blankets are provided too though

Fabulous experience on the boat there was 6 of us, seen lots of whales and the lads on the boat where brilliant very entertaining. Great music, food & drinks can be bought on boat, And most of the boat is cover so lots of shade from sun which was lovely. Can swim at the end was a great treat.

Great experiece with lots of fun, dolphins and unlimited beer. Cozy ship , tasty burgers and chips, relaxed and safe atmosphere. To be honest, its the first ship we had travelled that has thought about all the litlle things for tourists. 100% reccomend.

This tour is fantastic! Definitely a “must do” when in Tenerife. All of the staff is so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the experience. Our guide Craig provided a lot of great information on our way up the mountain and explained the format for the evening. The meal provided is good, with plenty of wine included. But definitely the sky is the “star” of the show! Thank you Night Smies Tours, for an unforgettable experience.

Ozzie is an incredible tour guide and made our trip! We had a last minute schedule change but all went smoothly due to his communication. We ended up doing a slightly different tour with stargazing but loved it! Would recommend any tour with him and his team.
