Top Tenerife Outdoor Activities - page 3

We booked this experience in advance as we were on a Canary Island cruise and didn't want to miss this opportunity after reading previous excellent reviews. We docked at Santa Cruz and took a local bus to Costa Adeje and made out way to the meeting point. Our captain/guide met us as arranged together with 7 others. Once onboard we ventured out into the ocean and within 20 minutes we were spotting whales! We carried on and saw more and more. Suddenly dolphins appeared - jumping up, playing and swimming beside us! It was a fantastic 2 hours! A day which will live with me forever. If any reader has doubts then just book it and see for yourself.

An amazing experience whether young or more mature. Special thanks to Mike, my pilot, who held my trust and confidence, was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and gave very clear instructions. The team were friendly and the service was great. A great way to see some of the island from the air. I loved the experience and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic trip, knowledgeable guides who were able to show us pilot whales and dolphins. Lovely boat and atmosphere. Not overcrowded with people and plenty of opportunities to watch and photograph the wildlife. As well as a nice amount of time to swim.

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.

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.

It was an extremely good boat ride! Not too many people and the two staff on the boat were extremely helpful and kind! They were keen to help us spot the local wildlife in a very respectful and ethical way. They shut off engines and did not pursue the wildlife.

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.

Visiting Teide is once in a life opportunity; a must do while visiting Tenerife. The tour guide “ Ozzie /Jose” was very knowledgeable of Tenerife’s history and mount Teide which he shared in an easy and understandable manner. A must do while visiting Canary Islands.
