Incredible experience!
This is a fantastic experience. Being able to see dolphins play in real life was incredible. Another thing I loved was how genuinely passionate the staff were at seeing these creatures again for what must be the 100th time ore more. They provided knowledge about dolphins and whales we didn't know and really looked after us. I will 100% do this again on our next visit to tenerife, I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Wonderful experience,...
Wonderful experience, well organized. Plenty of space on the boat for the passengers. We're able to see dolphins and pilot whales. Anchored near a beach for swimming as well, however it was cold, so no one got into the water. Nice selection of drinks and food. Very enjoyable trip for the entire family.

Brilliant.
Was a great experience, the staff were very knowledgable and friendly. it was abit of a bumpy ride but we were warned of this on arrival and were offered an alternative but decided to go ahead anyway which we feel added to our experience. It was a fun journey and we saw some whales which was amazing, the staff were good at identifying the animals that we could see and telling you abit about them, they were very considerate to keep space between the boat and the animal and being very careful not to startle them. Had a chance to stop and swim we chose not too but enjoyed relaxing during the stop, there are snacks and refreshments available at a price. Overall loved it would highly recommend.

Extra strong Marco
You need good waterproof suncream, drinking water and adequate fitness but you may see dolphins and turtles if Marco rings them first.
There's good instructions from the guide throughout. Be careful with loose items, one pair of sunglasses got lost when a couple got back into completely the wrong canoe and upended another single canoe in the process. A strapped down container is provided for your locker key back at base where you can leave your belongings. You can also strap down your flip flops.
If you don't have much upper body strength getting back into the kayak is a challenge. Fortunately Marco our instructor dragged me back in twice but it was undignlfied to say the least!
Overall a worthwhile trip but you must be willing to pay attention for your own safety.
Don't underestimate the challenge, one canoe had to towed back by Marco as the occupants struggled and im pretty sure I will ache tomorrow.
You may be asked to take your canoe back to the meeting point on a little dolly if you are on a later tour so be prepared to pull your weight!

Highly recommended
We had an excellent experience with White Tenerife. The communication prior to going on the trip was very good and they were very accommodating when we requested a change to our departure time just the day before the trip. The staff on board were very welcoming and when some of our party suffered from sea sickness, they were so kind and attentive. My 3 year old grandson was also sick but they made the trip special by letting him take to the helm. We did get to see pilot whales and dolphins which was magical and the crew gave some very interesting facts about them. The company was respectful of the animals and kept a fair distance. They provided a cheese and ham roll for lunch and there was plenty of drink available. We would definitely recommend this trip and the company.

Amazing dolphin and pilot whale viewing
We had a great trip- our guide Carlota and captain Inigo were informed and passionate about the animals we were there to see. We soon came across a pod of bottle nosed dolphins which swam around and under the boat. After that excitement we came across a large group of pilot whales which were absolute fascinating to watch. On our way back to the port we also saw some Atlantic spotted dolphins.
All in all, it was a truly great trip. We were very lucky in the wildlife we saw and I would massively recommend this tour.

December Trip
Great trip - the crew sailed us nearby to 2 pods. Both pods were comfortable near the boat so we had excellent views.
The crew spoke multiple languages and showed pictures of the whales and dolphin breeds to help.
Would recommend the trip for 2 hours of watching.

Excellent catamaran trip
This was an excellent experience and very good value for money.
If we want a couch to lie down on the boat then be early to get front of queue.
Saw whales, dolphins and turtle!
Team onboard were very happy and helpful.
We went in December; but weather was nice and warm.
People swam in water and was a temperature of 18drgrees

Amazing
This was a wonderful experience, the staff on the boat were lovely and the tour guide spoke in multiple languages. They weren’t pushy to but their photos which I appreciated. We saw a huge amount of pilot whales, playing, swimming and sleeping. Truly wonderful experience

A fabulous experience on a beautiful yacht with great crew.
Such a great experience on a beautiful yacht with just 8 other people. The 2 crew were so professional and made it a perfect trip. Sailing out into the beautiful waters they were extremely attentive and worked hard to make sure we enjoyed the experience. We saw pilot whales and dolphins and their communication was great as they talked about the various coastlines we sailed past with great enthusiasm and expertise. Drinks were available from the minute we got onboard and throughout the cruise, lunch was freshly made baguettes filled with ham cheese and salad. Our 3 hour trip went by so quickly and we enjoyed it immensely. We’re back in April and will be booking this lovely trip again. Thank you for such a lovely trip.

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

Amazing family experience in Tenerife!
My family loved this experience! Captain Guy was a very knowledgeable naturalist and was able to tell us many fascinating tings able the ocean waters and its inhabitants. Had an amazing encounter with pilot whales which made the whole trip for us very worth it! We enjoyed the company of the couple who shared the experience with us! Top it off with a picnic lunch, cava and snorkeling and you could not ask for a better day!!
