Fantastic - It was an amazing experience. Antonio is a charmer and told us many things. We could see the pilot whales super close, and also a lot of them! He made us a very good day, on a beautiful sailboat, with a spectacular captain! Plus the feeling of going practically alone, just being able to be 10 people maximum... a luxury come on.

Don't miss whale watching in Tenerife - At first we sailed to whale's point. There were so many whales and they were very close. I heard their sounds of breath, that was so nice. Next we sailed along with under the cliff and reached to snorkeling point. Around rocks there were many kind of fishes, also around the yacht. When we finished snorkeling, captain prepared tapas and we enjoyed with drink. Captain managed the tour very well and explained about the places. I joined whale watching tour in costa Adeje as well, but Las gigantes is more suitable place for whale watching.

Highly recommended - Nice trip on nice boat with nice skipper! Only a total of 6 guests on board, Skipper approached respectfully the spotted pilot whales, engine early off and let drift. We have in about 30 min. Specimens seen again and again in small groups. Then to Los Giganteswand and some swimming/snorkeling. Then bites and drinks and back to the marina. Absolutely recommended and no comparison to the big tourist ships 😮‍💨

Beautiful whales off the shore of beautiful Сape - Was a lovely afternoon watching beautiful whales. All is very punctual. Boat is big and comfortable. Great views of the edge of Cape Cod, including Race Point. We saw the whales scientists are tracking and it was very enlightening and interesting. We got lucky as we saw about 5 and whales were not shy and willing to dive and turn and perform for us all. Great experience for kids and adults alike

Expensive for what it is - The boat is not suitable for children. Personally neither does the pilot. The only positive part is that we saw some pilot whales. The downside is that the appetizer was bad for those of us who went. I doubt conservation.

Unreliable. No info on tour cancellation. Impossible behavior. - Very bad behavior. It was windy in the morning and the weather apps had predicted all wind up to 45 kmh. We could no longer cancel, since the beginning 1 pm. Then asked early 8 a.m. if the tour was taking place. Answer: The weather is good, otherwise they would let you know. Of course, we had nothing else planned for our last day of vacation at the beginning of 1 p.m. So went there by taxi for 10 euros and were at the boat at 12.58 pm. There we were told that the trip was not happening. At 12.59pm, the cancellation email came from Viator. Haha. Yes, there we were. Last day of vacation virtually pointless. So back to the hotel by taxi for 10 euros and there the rest of the day gamboled around. Ohh: No help, no accommodation from either the organizer or Viator. The 210 euros for 3 people were refunded. Otherwise, zero. No taxi costs, No compensation - just confused different answers from the call center.

An abomination of a captain. Avoid like a plague! - In my over 40 years of traveling I have offered exactly 3 reviews and only when the service exceptional. This is the first time where I write to warn my fellow travelers to avoid abusive tour operators. My wife (who is recuperating from stage 4 cancer ) and I booked this sailboat whale watching tour, operated by the captain/owner in the hopes of finding some peace, and tranquility on the ocean in the company of a smaller grupo. What we got instead was a breathtaking level of abuse that was extended to our group of 8. I will sum it up: we were exactly 5 minutes late due to roadway construction and my wife, who boarded first, was verbally berated for our tardiness and because she did not move quickly enough to his liking in her weakened state. I came up behind him her and politely pointed out that we had call twice to alert him of our delay and that his protestations were understandable but that his tone and manner were not. No matter, I sad to my wife, we would make the best of a beautiful day. Throughout the trip, he proceeded to ignore the entire group, which included a family with a 4 year old and a visibly pregnant mother. He blasted his music and smoked rancid cigarettes even though both the mother and child had become very seasick. When finally the entire group requested that he turn off the noise explaining that even the child had asked that it be done, he refused to do so and instead, he lowered the volume and growled: (and this is so unbelievably callous that I could not believe my ears) “there now, she looks much better” and gave the little girl a garbage bag to vomit into. The child was crying in distress and pushed his hand away from her. His disregard for her suffering was evident even to a child. When it was time to eat, he laid out a stale assortment of unappetizing dried meats and withered fruit. Nobody ate. When he offered drinks, I requested water and he pointed to the ocean and said ”there’s plenty there”. There he came back with soda cans and lukewarm water for everyone. He offered no commentary on the beautiful pilot whales we encountered, passing a one page laminated paper with information on the creatures. In fact he spent most of his time talking on his phone and very little of it concerned with the comfort and wellbeing of his passengers. And we the passengers were all in agreement that the the location was beautiful, but that the service by this captain (no crew) was on the whole, a disaster.
