A lovely journey, there is plenty of room on the boat, there is only a few people on board :). The captain was very funny and kind, recommend sailing with him! The experience was great, saw to pilot whales! :)

It was a bit of an Irish pirate that piloted us steadily over the waves towards the wales; they agreed to letting us take some pictures and to everything the captain had to say. I wonder if he knew them personally. After a swim, an offered lunch, and drinks, we 'sailed' back on petrol...unforgettable Irish break in Spanish waters.

We had the best time on our trip with Patrick on his boat. It was perfect, the scenary was beautiful, we saw pilot whales up close (which was a particular highlight) and Patrick was very attentive and informative. The snorkeling was great and we had plenty of offers of drinks and even snacks. Brilliant. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely time. Very relaxing and saw loads of pilot whales!! Amazing.
The only problem was Vialto did not send the final meeting information. Just lots of links with “This is not your ticket “ attached. Luckily the locals knew were it might be!

We had the most wonderful trip we saw Dolphins 🐬 , pilot whales 🐋 and lots of fish 🐟 our two grandchildren aged 4 & 2 just loved it would certainly recommend this trip….

We sailed out at 9:30am with Patrick as our captain. Patrick was very knowledgeable and had a great personality.
I travelled with my husband and 13yo. There was another couple on-board so 6 of us including Patrick.
The journey was lovely, we saw pilot whales, had some lunch and the opportunity to go snorkeling.
We chose the smaller boat as we didn't want the large crowds.
It was a lovely 3hr experience.

Really enjoyed the trip and our time with Patrick! He is a very funny guy and a great host with lot of knowledge of the Canary Islands and sea life. The boat was spacious and there was a lot of space for everybody on board. Unlimited drinks and snacks were also a great perk of our trip. Would reccomed to anybody!

We really enjoyed the trip and thought the Captain was great. The only thing that would’ve been nice to know is that there really wasn’t snorkel equipment and we weren’t going snorkeling at a reef so there was really nothing to see. Overall though highly recommend if you want a great boat day and want to see some whales.

Saw a turtle but we were all sea sick. Rough sea and patrick didn't come out with us.
Nothing more to say

This was the highlight of the trip. You got see and learn so much about the island. The sights were beautiful. The captain provided wine/beer and snacks. You were allowed to bring on your own snacks as well. The captain got us ass close to the dolphins/whales as possible. Would do this 10 times over.
Sirpa_T, Nov 2023
Totally uninterested captain (no wonder, the trip only goes to two places and I presume it is exactly the same each time), saw a couple of whale fins, then snorkeling in opaque waters with a couple of fish and borrowing the ship’s filthy, scratched snorkeling gear dating from the eighties and finishing it all off with the cheapest of the cheap snacks directly from Aldi or comparable. Never again.

We had a great time seeing pilot whales in Tenerife! The captain is very friendly and the sail was very relaxing. We would definitely do it again!

We had a great time sailing and seeing the whales and dolphins. Patrick put everyone at ease and gave us some great info about the island.
Lynn_M, Mar 2023
Great trip with skipper Patrick who looked after us well and knew the best places to spot whales and dolphins. We had several along side the boat and it was great to see them so close. Highly recommend!

Our family of 5 (2 adults and kids aged 17, 14 and 10) had a great time on Patrick's boat. He took us out to see pilot whales and dolphins that played alongside the boat before heading to a quiet area closer to the shore for the kids to jump in and swim. He served small sandwiches and snacks along with beer, wine and soda for the kids. While the weather wasn't ideal (nothing we could do about that), I can't imagine having a better time out on the water for a few hours and would highly recommend booking.

We totally enjoyed the trip. We saw many dolphins and a big turtle. The captain is really funny and an
environment protector. He picked up a big plastic bottle when we were driving in the sea. He also prepared beers and sandwiches for us. We saw a beautiful sunset while we went back. Thank you for everything.
Lisa_L, Oct 2022
Captain Patrick was a very experienced sailor. He was friendly and funny and we had a wonderful 3 hours whale watching. There was unlimited drinks available and he provided us with very tasty snacks & sandwiches.
Cheryl_S, Sep 2022
Had an amazing time seeing the turtles up close and the small whale's in their group of about 10, then had some food and a swim very informative 😀 would go again 😀
michael_p, Aug 2022
The sailing was great and we managed to see pilot whales, dolphins and a sea turtle. We had a great trip and thoroughly recommend the small boat experience to one of the larger cruises.
Robert_S, Aug 2022
Trip was as hoped, saw numerous pilot whales and dolphins but guide hardly spoke at all in the 3 hour trip
Grace_B, Jul 2022
Great to see the dolphins and whales!
Captain Patrick was charming ,snacks weren’t great but non the less great overall
Thank you
Alex_K, Jul 2022
Patrick was a great captain, new the areas inside out and didn't waste any time showing us both the dolphins and the whales.
Also enjoyed his sense of humor, great trip!
Anna_B, Jun 2022
Great day! Super nice captain and we saw so many dolphins. Even a turtle!! The snorkeling was great, the only thing was that we didn’t think the masks had been cleaned between uses.
Andy_M, Mar 2022
We had a great half day trip on this small boat tour. Our experienced skipper first took us about 5 miles offshore where he knew pilot whales were often seen, as they feed there in deep water. We were not disappointed and saw more than 6 pilot whales. A few other small boats joined us, but there were no big boats there. We then headed back towards shore where we were then joined by at least 12 dolphins who came really close to the boat. We then went to a picturesque quiet bay for food and drink and a snorkel off the back of the boat. A fantastic day out, I would recommend a small boat trip to see the whales and dolphins too if you are lucky. Great value.
Jane_B, Mar 2022
We had a Nice sailing, saw 6 whales and one dolfin. The boat is super with spare for 6 pax only, wich we felt was so nice. We samlede about 1 1/2 hour for adventure. Then to a Bay for swimmingpool and here we had small simple sandwiches and drinks.
Because of vind we had tanken service pille and here in Tenerife you can get Them with Coffee wich do that one does not get tirsdag. So we wewr happy about this.
