Excellent trip my little boy loves seeing the turtle, dolphin and lots of whales. - We booked with Claire and the process was seamless from start to finish she talked us through where to go what we would need and showed us pictures of our trip and the boat we went on! Lovely experience would definitely do this again.

Lorena’s awesome x - 10/10 experience, Lorena was so kind, helpful and can tell the genuine care to customers to personalise and give the best experiences. First time in Tenerife with little knowledge she was able to recommend tapas and cater to all our needs including all the excursions we wished to do. She organised a daily planner and advised us on which days would be better for what. Hands down this ladys customer care is amazing made me and my partner feel more than comfortable. Thank you again Lorena and will definitely be back again.

Sailboat Whale Spotting - Highly Recommend - We had a fantastic time - saw a sea turtle and loads of whales. The tour guide was great, pointing everything out to us so we wouldn't miss anything. The weather was against us, very windy and choppy, but blankets were provided. Would definitely do this trip again.

Fantastic whale watching trip - Fantastic trip Unexpectedly had the boat to ourselves as a family of four. Friendly skipper who explained about the whales and other sea life. We saw a mother and young whale, and several others. Lovely refreshing swim in the hippy cove. Great views of the island and mountains on the way. Recommended.

Whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins….yeah! - Got off to a slow start and was concerned we may not see anything. We saw lots of pilot whales, whole families plus babies. There were dolphins too, swimming with the whales. To top it off we saw a turtle. The swim at the end was great, so refreshing g. Captain and mate were great and friends made with the rest of the boat. Only a small group so we didn’t miss anything. Would recommend

Tenerife first excursions - We didn’t see any whales or dolphins only turtles however we booked through Tenerife first excursions and they were amazing, my friend got spiked the night before we were supposed to go on our trip and after a quick email and phone call they had rearranged everything we had booked and we ended up getting jet skis for free, I highly recommend using Tenerife first excursions

Disappointing Boat, Great Crew & Unexpected Whale Sightings - The boat itself was disappointing and not what we expected based on the pictures on Viator. However, the shipper was friendly, and a big plus was getting to see several whales along the way. Mixed experience overal.

An OK ish trip - Trip was ok have been on better, there wasn't much communication from the skipper of the boat. Lunch was half a baguette and a wine or beer or soft drink. We did however see a few Pilot Whales which were amazing.
