Great time - We had an amazing time out on the boat. Got to see both dolphins and whales. Patrick was our captain for the day and he was a great host. Really recommend using Galatea Sailing if you are coming out to Tenerife :) Thank you for a great morning!

Fabulous - We booked this last-minute whale tour via WhatsApp while vacationing in Tenerife, arranging times, meeting point, and prices. On the day, a staff member greeted us for payment, then we met our captain, Ami. The 3-hour tour was incredible—Ami expertly navigated to multiple whale pods. Afterward, we swam in a cove with fish. Ami's humor and engaging personality made the trip unforgettable. If we return to Tenerife, we’d book with this company again without hesitation!

Galatea Sailing - Found where we needed to meet easily. We had a great time even though 2 of our 5 were sea sick! Was touch and go for a bit but finally managed to see lots of whales so was worthwhile! Trip was cancelled due to poor weather at sea the day we had booked but we were phoned and rearranged (offered a refund if wanted instead). Man driving boat was amusing and knew his stuff.

Accidental “International Women’s Day” - Me, my daughter and niece had reservations, and were joined for the excursion by two gals from UK, and another woman from Germany. The six of us hit it off immediately and had a fabulous 3 hour immersion exchanging cultural life experiences! (THIS is why we travel 🤗). We almost immediately were surprised with a Tortuga Boba sighting and plenty of playful Pilot Whales rounded out the trip. Our captain was lovely & Eagle-eyed. Considering seas that day were incredibly choppy, he managed to pilot us to where the action was. Magical, intimate day!!!

Great authentic tour - The Capitan was nice and he knew a lot of stuff about the whales and about the island also. We were two couples on the boat so it was really enjoyable. At first we drove to the whale watching spot and we were really lucky at this day. There were a lot of whales. Afterwards we drove to the snorkeling spot a bit more near the coast and swam/snorkeled there as long as we wanted to. As we drove back and the Capitan brought us the sandwiches and to drink there was also a lot. Was a great tour and I wouldn’t regret doing it again. It’s very authentic and interesting. All what I would say what could be improved is the description here on TripAdvisor, how the usual plan is.

Wonderful afternoon on the boat - We had an excellent afternoon with Patrick. Such a chilled and relaxed environment. Loved the pilot whales which got so close to the boat and loved the dip before sandwiches. Would highly recommend.

The highlight of this walk is the number of people, 7 maximum, it is a real asset - We had the chance to see whales but no dolphins Beautiful little swim in a cove Cons: it was announced a 3h excursion and in reality it was 2:30
