Such a special experience - Yesterday we had the absolute best 2 hour trip with John. We booked a private tour for 4 adults and 4 children and we all enjoyed it so much. John was so knowledgeable and you could see his passion for the creatures and protecting the ocean. We stopped on the way to scoop a huge piece of clear plastic. We then saw a loggerhead sea turtle which could have confused it for food. We then found a pod of mother and baby pilot whales. We all loved how respectful John was of them, the engines were cut and the pilot whales were given so much space. They came close to our boat of their own will. It was so beautiful to witness. We then went on to see a few other groups, we saw two groups meet and interact, even jumps from pilots which are very rare to see. We also saw dolphins. My little girls said it was the best day of our lives and the grown ups loved it. It was very clear to see that not all whale watching trips in Tenerife are equal. If you love the ocean and have respect for the creatures living it, please book a trip with this company. You won’t regret it. The best money we spent all holiday to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat whilst being respectful and giving them space. Will definitely book again on future holidays. Thank you, John.

An amazing experience! - We had such a great afternoon out, and was the highlight of our holiday. Our tour guide Ion was very friendly and knowledgeable, a lot of interesting facts! I couldn’t believe how quickly we saw the whales, within 10 minutes I’d say. Seeing three different kinds of species on our two hour tour: Pilot Whales, Bottlenose dolphins and I believe Baleen Whales. Ion also had a recording device so we could listen to them - so cool! An amazing experience you have to try in Tenerife. ¡Muchas gracias Ion!

Absolutely fantastic experience! The boat tour for dolphin and whale watching was one of the highlights of our trip. - Absolutely fantastic experience! We went on a dolphin and whale watching tour and had the best time. The guide was the only crew on board, he was incredibly professional, friendly, and spoke excellent English. He shared so much interesting information about the animals and the island. We were lucky to see both dolphins and whales up close — truly magical! The boat was clean and comfortable, and the group size was small, which made it even more enjoyable. The tour lasted about 2 hours, which was perfect for us and the kids. Overall, it was a fun, relaxing, and very well-organised trip. Definitely great value for money. Highly recommended!

An excellent experience which we recommend highly - Good organisation, very nice personnel (Moony and Ion) who gave us lots of information about the whales and dolphins. We were able to see many pilot whales from very close (a few meters away!) because the boat respected their space, getting close enough and letting the whales come to us. They adapted the trip to our daughter feeling seasick after 1 hour. We received many great photos the next day, allowing us to concentrate on seeing the whales with our eyes and not our phones during the trip! Highly recommended.

Amazing Tour! Even more Amazing Guides! - John and Moony were fantastic. We prefer the smaller tours and they did not disappoint. We spent two hours learning about the pilot whales and their lives as well as so many other ocean creatures. They definitely care about the ocean environment and take the time to educate others. John and Moony were also so excited to share their knowledge of the island. They felt like old friends that were just so great to hang out with. We can't recommend them enough! Thank you John and Moony for the fantastic time spent, knowledge learned and new memories!
