Looking for a Unique Tenerife Adventure? Meet Ion! ✨🛶

Jose_M, Apr 2026

🏝️ We wanted to end our one-week trip to Tenerife with a bang, and we found the ultimate unique adventure! 🌊 Looking for something truly exciting, we booked a two-hour private whale watching tour starting from the super cute beach town of Puerto Colón. Our goal? To see spotted and common dolphins and the famous resident pilot whales. 🐬✨ Our guide, Ion, was the highlight of the trip. Not only is he an expert guide, but he’s also a marine biologist who led us on a maritime adventure with a conscience. He made sure we approached these majestic creatures in a responsible way that didn't disrupt their natural habitat. The coolest part? We got to use a hydrophone to actually listen to the whales and dolphins communicating underwater! 🎧🐋 If you’re a fellow traveler looking for a unique and memorable experience, you have to book with this company. Ion is an incredible marine biologist filled with knowledge and passion. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the island! 🇪🇸🙌

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much Jose for this amazing review! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to end your Tenerife trip, and we’re truly honoured to have been part of it 🌊🐋 It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed such a unique experience, from spotting pilot whales and dolphins to listening to them through the hydrophone—that’s always a special moment! Ion will be absolutely delighted by your kind words. His passion for marine life and commitment to responsible whale watching really shine through, and we’re so glad it made your trip even more meaningful. Thank you for recommending us, and for choosing an experience that respects and celebrates these incredible animals. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future—there’s always more to discover out there! Take care 😊
