Top Tenerife Whale Watching - page 3

This was an excellent trip the whole family enjoyed. We arrived at the docks and were shown quickly to a small well maintained boat. We were seated and quickly on our way to see a large family of whales, then, returning close to the shore there was an opportunity to swim (we decided not to), food and drink before we made the trip back to the docks. Overall the trip lasted around 3 hours. The hosts were excellent. Explaining everything clearly, having a good laugh with the guests (this experience is a smaller more personalised group) and looked after us well. We did unfortunately pick a day where the sea was a little rough. Everyone was fine for the journey out but we quickly succumbed to sea sickness one by one. The hosts were great and looked after us really well. Seeing the whales swimming close to the boat was special! If I was change anything I would change the day we went for calmer seas but this isn't the fault of the trip organisers. In fact they had checked the weather and contacted us to ask we came earlier as winds were due to pick up later in the day. Also worth noting that for safety reasons when out at sea it's not possible to walk around the boat. This is really sensible, but it does mean moving around to get better pictures is not easy. Once near the shore where seas were calmer they did allow guests to go around the boat including sitting out front deck to get pictures. We came away despite sea sickness really pleased we did this experience and I'd definitely recommend this due to the small group size which gives a more personal experience and better view of the whales
