Pass by

Tenerife offers one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe because the island was shaped by volcanic activity over millions of years. During the safari, guests can often enjoy spectacular views that combine the Atlantic Ocean with towering volcanic landscapes dominated by Mount Teide. * Massive volcanic cliffs rising directly from the ocean * Black lava rock formations created by ancient eruptions * Clear panoramic views of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak Mount Teide stands at 3,715 meters above sea level and dominates Tenerife’s skyline. Because the mountain rises from the Atlantic Ocean floor, its total height is far greater than what visitors see above sea level. On clear days, Teide creates an incredible backdrop for whale and dolphin sightings Cruise along Tenerife’s spectacular volcanic coastline with breathtaking views of Mount Teide a unique landscape where wild ocean life meets one of the world’s most impressive volcanic islands.”

Thank you

Very good. We only saw dolphins that day in the middle of the afternoon departure (2:30 PM); I think that in the morning you have a better chance of seeing the rest.

You have to be very...

You have to be very punctual. The experience lasts around 2 hours and is very good. It's a shame that the explanations given over the loudspeaker couldn't be understood at all, because the speaker they use sounds terrible.

Had a whale of a time!

An inspiring trip. A respectful way to see the whales and dolphins as they should be...in their natural environment. I would highly recommend this trip and it is great value for money. Our captain on the day was Samantha and she is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about respecting the ocean and it's inhabitants. If you want to witness these mammals free and content this is one of the best ways to do it. Please DO NOT go to see them at Loro Parque!

A good experience....

A good experience. We were able to see a group of whales quite close, dolphins, and even a turtle. I recommend taking Dramamine or something like that because there are some choppy moments. Definitely worth repeating.
