Whale watching with Antonio - We had the most amazing time on the sailing boat. The excursion group consisted of my partner and me, 3 other passengers and Antonio. He was very knowlegdeable and provided us with lots of facts and information about the island, the sea and the whales. We saw a beautiful pod of tropical pilot whales and afterwards snorkeled in a place with beautiful fishes. The snacks provided were very nice. I really recommend this trip to others!

Wonderful experience in Los Gigantes - This is the fourth time we have done this excursion on this boat as when family and friends visit us we always take them. It’s a wonderful experience to be able to see the pilot whales so closely and the skipper, Antonio, tells us many things about this unparalleled environment, plus great music and a delicious appetizer. Soon we will repeat!!

Great whale watching on cozy sailboat - Great day, great weather, nice funny older skipper who told us a lot in English. The boat was a bit old, but cozy and optimal for our group of nine people. And the highlight of course were the pilot whales and also a group of five dolphins that accompanied our boat for longer. Small nice snorkel stop, delicious tapas. All around a successful trip! To my taste it is much more personal on the small boats than on the giant catamarans sailing up from Los Cristianos.

The Picon Mojo won't let you down - Yesterday we sailed with Fran, an experienced, friendly and funny captain. He explained in Spanish and especially in English many things about the animals we saw and the cliff of the giants. Although we didn't have very good seas the managed to make us all feel safe, he was aware of the people who could get dizzy and if we wanted food and drink all the way. We made a stop for the bravest to bathe and played music to cheer up the atmosphere. I recommend you choose this experience because the boat was beautiful, clean and there was plenty of room to rest. A hug for Fran, and for Antonio, the owner of the boat, who also kept an eye on us before arrival. Thanks for everything🙌🏼

Recommended for adults but beware motion sickness - Good communication about the weather and rearranging if necessary. Antonio looked after us and was a trustworthy skipper, providing drinks, etc. We saw pilot whales and some dolphins (their fins and backs as they breathe). This is a yacht as pictured so you can sit on the front or sunbathe etc. As a family, we all suffered motion sickness due to the swell and 3 hours was enough; but this was not the fault of the company, of course and won't always be so. Others offer tours by fast boats which may be more suitable for those with motion sensitivity. The sightings were lovely for adults but I don't think kids appreciate it so much.

Nice trip with swabs - We had a nice day and could also observe a larger group of pilot whales. Afterwards we drove even closer to the cliffs, you could swim or snorkel briefly if you want. Our skipper and his companion were very friendly. They had prepared little tapas, there were drinks if you like. The info about the whales was very poor, that could be improved, after all, the animals are the main attraction or the reason for the trip. Which we didn't like. The boat is in very bad condition. We are sailors ourselves and so it is noticeable that the material is not handled well or there is apparently no interest in maintenance and boat care. In the rear area, the laminate was open and emergency taped. Furthermore, there was no safety briefing (e.g. where to find life jackets, if there are any at all and in what number) and what to do in case of an emergency. The whole thing only takes a few minutes and is just part of it.
