Costa Adeje : Cetacean sighting in Tenerife South

Raynald_C, Apr 2026

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!

Teide National Park Sunset, Dinner & Stargazing Experience

Keith_H, Mar 2026

Great night sky experience with informed, pleasant team.

Enjoyable and informative night sky experience - all the telescope operators were enthusiastic about their subject and the principle speaker Kieran showed an in-depth knowledge whilst keeping the talk accessible and engaging. Our driver Libby was prompt on arrival, clear in her directions and great chat throughout. Do wrap up warm though (as the info advises, as it's cold up high at night). Recommend.

Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience

josie_p, Feb 2026

Unforgettable tour

This was a real wow experience from start to finish. Our tour guide was excellent, sharing fascinating information throughout the tour of Mount Teide and the incredible rock formations surrounding it. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking — and slightly spooky — watching the clouds form below us was unforgettable. The food and atmosphere in the restaurant were lovely and made the evening even more special. The true icing on the cake, however, was the stargazing experience. It was simply amazing.

Tandem Paragliding Flight in South Tenerife

Dena_R, Feb 2026

Fantastic experience -DO IT!

Our first flight and what a fabulous team! We had a blast. Picked up from the hotel, picked up the paragliding guys who’d finished their previous flight. Had a great chat with them on the way up the mountain - they made us feel so welcome and relaxed. The flight itself was awesome. My pilot gave great instructions and constantly checked in to make sure I was ok and enjoying the flight. He gave me great tourist advice and restaurant reviews from the air. We flew up to look at the mountain and the tip of Teide in the distance before floating back towards the coast. We took a trip over the ocean which was spectacular before heading back into land. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would 100% recommend Brisa Tenerife.

3h Viking Cruise with Drinks, Whale Watching and Swimming Time

Pixie_N, Nov 2025

Amazing experience. Understanding of neurodiversities too.

I did this with my family and autistic son who is easily overwhelmed, and doesn't like boats!! I explained to the staff that he was feeling stressed and I wasnt sure if I could go on. But they let us on first to find our seat away from the speakers. By far exceeded my expectations. So much fun, fully immersed in the Viking experience facepaints and all. We saw whales, dolphins and even turtles. Great for those who enjoy beer/wine as drinks included but definitely not for those who dont like to be around alcohol. The stop to swim in the sea was also great, staff were friendly and helpful. Even my son ended up actually enjoying the experience and im so glad I booked.

Whale watching and listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Food Tasting

Kitty_v, Nov 2025

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.

We had a brilliant time,...

We had a brilliant time, saw loads of pilot whales and the guys on the boat knew loads about them! The weather was choppy so it was a bit rough on the boat but they couldn’t have done more to make everyone feel comfortable! It’s the second time I’ve been on this boat and would recommend it to anyone!

Sunset and Stargazing Experience from Teide

Mayra_S, Jul 2025

Amazing night sky

It started with an on-time pickup by our lively and friendly tour operator, Ozzy, then a lovely local lunch with roasted chicken, wrinkled potatoes (their specialty) with a small salad and various mojos, also a specialty. Then off to go up around 1400 meters in Teide National Park to watch the sunset above the clouds and take lovely pictures (extra charge). From there we went up to 2000 meters to get ready to star gaze. Lots of equipment set up was necessary, but they were organized and had a contact with a truck offering hot chocolate, beer, wine and snacks (extra charge) I would highly recommend a jacket or sweatshirt as the temps dropped. There was a very large group (the only issue I would have as it was a bit too large), so while one was star gazing, the other was taking a second set of pictures with the mikyway right behind, amazing! (Also extra charge). We learned quite a bit about the night sky, say shooting stars and even satellites moving around. It’s unbelievable how much is visible under such a dark sky. Would recommend.

Highly recommended must do activity!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Picked up from Hotel no problem. All staff pleasant and friendly. We saw numerous whales and dolphins and thoroughly enjoyed it. You may get a little sea sprayed! Beautiful sunset and lots of pictures. Highly recommended and would do it again next time we come.
