Had a great trip with Guy who took us to the spots to see whales - saw a fin whale and a pod of pilot whales which was amazing. Really enjoyed the trip.

Nice tour with a lot of respect for the animals thanks to the lovely captain named Guy. He knows a lot about the animals in the area and where to find them. Also checks in on the crew often in case of sea sickness. Great trip!

Capt Guy was a truly lovely man and very knowledgeable about the sea and animals within. Very comfy boat, plenty of time to search for whales and dolphins with a stop for swimming and snorkeling. Would highly recommend going with Capt Guy!
CHRISTY_B, Jun 2025
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!!

What an experience from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. Our taxi driver who picked us up was very helpful and made us feel very relaxed. Guy the Captain, what a fantastic human being. Very passionate about his job and purpose. Very very knowledgable about the wildlife and sea conditions! He was our waiter too serving us chilled Prosecco and Strawberries and beautiful freshly made sandwiches. We saw a very large pod of Pilot whales with babies and sea Turtles. There was plenty of room on board as there were only 4 of us! A truly wonderful afternoon worth every penny. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Amazing experience Guy was really knowledgable, saw dolphins even came to the boat, sandwich was tasty, unlimited drinks, lovely glass of champagne with strawberries, got a tour of the island, son who is 10 enjoyed it, would highly recommend.

We had a really great experience! Our captain, Guy, was awesome. You can really tell he cared a lot about what's going on and that everyone are feeling good. We learned a lot about marine life. In case you arr considering this trip, I'd say go for it, you won't be disappointed

Lovely sailing boat, beautiful views of the coastline, and we were lucky to see a family of pilot whales! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and with huge respect for wildlife. Pick the evening cruise if you want a sunset :-)
Lorraine_P, Jan 2025
We spent a lovely afternoon on the boat. Particularly nice was there were only 8 passengers on board. We saw lots of pilot whales and had a quick swim although the sea was a tad cold and choppy! Our captain was great, and the snacks and drinks were a nice touch. Only slight concern was the lack of any safety information - no life jackets offered or advice on what to do if an incident occurred. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

Really nice and relaxing trip on a sail boat. We didn’t sail at all but motored out and saw some pilot whales. The whales got incredibly close and we enjoyed watching them. A small sandwich and variety of drinks was provided. We had the opportunity to get into the water but felt it was a little too chilly for us. The boat comfortably fit the 6 adults and 2 children in our group. It was a beautiful day on the water.

Our Captain was fantastic and wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. He was hospitable and very knowledgeable. He was beyond expectations in the service we received!
Camille_M, Nov 2024
The main goal to see whales was achieved, but we would have hoped our captain would interact more and sponteniously share his knowledge.
We were also a little bit disappointed by the "snacks" which was one sandwich. We also hoped to snorkel, but the swim stop was too far away of the coastline to see anything.
Robert_W, Oct 2024
We saw several sets of whales, the food/drink was fun. The guide was great, Guy has a great personality and really wants to share his knowledge of the ocean and marine life.

Enjoyed the trip overall, but think for the money paid it wasn’t as described as listed.
When we got onboard and out to sea we were quickly informed we were unlikely to see dolphins which is understandable wildlife isn’t predictable but I wouldn’t list it as a main selling point. We were given our champagne which was a nice touch. We saw a few pilot whales for around 15 mins which was great and given it was a 3hr trip, you’d expect to see more especially as this was in was within the first 45mins. We were lucky enough to come across a sea turtle floating by. The rest of the journey felt like we were just going across the coast of Tenerife. There was a small opportunity to swim, but right next to Los Cristianos beach which you could do on any given day. One passenger got off to swim and was told not point taking a snorkel as there isn’t anything to see. We then spent around 30mins sailing around near the port to kill time.
Wouldn’t recommend anyone who suffers with sea sickness, it wasn’t obviously choppy out to sea and we felt the effects of any bigger waves we came across strongly and wasn’t enough space for us to get up onto the front of the boat to feel it less.
Maxi provided some good insight to wildlife, but felt like he spent a lot of time on his phone.
Underwhelming for the price given it is one of the more expensive trips of this kind in Tenerife.

Captain Guy was excellent, very personable made you feel very welcome.
Impressive that he spoke five different languages and made sure he included everyone in the conversations.
We did see Pilot Whales, and spent time viewing which was nice.
My only negative was they were sparse with the food only had small size baguette. Drinks not champagne as advertised.
All in all was a nice trip.

Went on morning trip with husband and another group of people, Alex was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he tried his best to keep everyone happy and informed. I felt seasick after a while (my issue, nothing to do with trip or conditions) and he checked on me and give me some tips to try and relieve the feeling. We managed to see a few pilot Whales, unfortunately the dolphins and turtles appeared to be in hiding. My husband assures me the sandwiches etc were good, I didn't risk them but to be fair Alex gave me some crisps and drinks when we left as I was now feeling up to managing some liquids. Thoroughly recommend this trip especially if you want a more personal approach
Jeannie_N, Sep 2024
The excursion ended 20 minutes early. We were only told that we had 10 min to swim and no snorkel gear was offered. However, we did get to see pilot whales. The captain only explained about 5 min worth of facts. So if you’re only looking for someone to take you out to the ocean, this is the tour for you.
Linda_C, Aug 2024
Great day and I would highly recommend. We had pilot whales swim along side the boat and saw a mother and baby sea turtle. It was perfect.
Hannah_K, Jun 2024
This boat ride completely exceeded my expectations! We were not expecting to see whales as is it not in season, but our captain luckily managed to find some for us anyway. We saw a family of whales, and it was amazing. Our captain Dani, was very attentive and we had a great time with him. We certainly felt very safe! I would definitely book this again.
Amy_D, Jun 2024
Capt Guy was very chatty and informative. You can tell he's clearly passionate about wildlife and the animals.
We requested GF food, but this wasn't provided.
We did see whales and dolphins, but no turtles. The swimming experience was amazing though.
We were a little bit disappointed with the overall experience compared to the cost. We paid for a premium experience, and it didn't "feel" premium.
Alice_S, May 2024
Fantastic captain (Guy), made everyone feel welcome and explained the trip well. Was very respectful of the animals, not getting too close, turned the boat off to allow us to sit and watch in a peaceful setting. Good spot for swimming included as well as ample refreshments provided!
Amelia_S, Apr 2024
Lovely quiet boat tour not rushed , we did miss the opportunity to swim but other than that really good and even saw a family of whales
Nikol_P, Apr 2024
It was nice :) despite strong wind, we had a great time. The dolphins were swimming quite close to our boat.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. We saw pilot whales and even some sharks!! The sandwiches were nice but not loads of snacks provided, lots of drinks available though!
Katrina_K, Jan 2024
Amazing trip with a knowledgeable as fun captain, highly recommend! We were a group of 4 girls and there were other 4 people on board and despite a windy and cloudy weather, we got to see loads of wales and dolphins! Captain Maximilian was very accommodating and looked after us even after one of our girls felt seasick and he was considerate of the animals and did not swim too close.
