Superb tour, very informative and respectful of the ecosystem.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the tour and that it met your expectations, both in terms of learning and respect for the ecosystem. We look forward to welcoming you again for another discovery! Take care!
🏝️ We wanted to end our one-week trip to Tenerife with a bang, and we found the ultimate unique adventure! 🌊 Looking for something truly exciting, we booked a two-hour private whale watching tour starting from the super cute beach town of Puerto Colón. Our goal? To see spotted and common dolphins and the famous resident pilot whales. 🐬✨ Our guide, Ion, was the highlight of the trip. Not only is he an expert guide, but he’s also a marine biologist who led us on a maritime adventure with a conscience. He made sure we approached these majestic creatures in a responsible way that didn't disrupt their natural habitat. The coolest part? We got to use a hydrophone to actually listen to the whales and dolphins communicating underwater! 🎧🐋 If you’re a fellow traveler looking for a unique and memorable experience, you have to book with this company. Ion is an incredible marine biologist filled with knowledge and passion. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the island! 🇪🇸🙌
Thank you so much Jose for this amazing review! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to end your Tenerife trip, and we’re truly honoured to have been part of it 🌊🐋 It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed such a unique experience, from spotting pilot whales and dolphins to listening to them through the hydrophone—that’s always a special moment! Ion will be absolutely delighted by your kind words. His passion for marine life and commitment to responsible whale watching really shine through, and we’re so glad it made your trip even more meaningful. Thank you for recommending us, and for choosing an experience that respects and celebrates these incredible animals. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future—there’s always more to discover out there! Take care 😊
Brilliant trip. Saw loads of pilot whales - really close up. Inigo and Carlota were both great. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. They took our boat away from all the other boats so we were the only ones there when we saw a big pod of whales. Would highly recommend these guys
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad you had a brilliant trip and got to see so many pilot whales up close—what an unforgettable experience! Iñigo and Carlota will be thrilled to hear your kind words about their friendliness and knowledge. They always do their best to create a more personal and respectful encounter, so it’s great to know you appreciated being away from the other boats while watching such an incredible pod. Thanks again for your recommendation—it really means a lot to us. We hope to see you on board again someday! Take care :)
This was just an amazing experience from start to finish. It’s worth every penny and I would do it all over again. Ion (staff) was fantastic and a truly specialist on marine life. The amount of information was just right, accessible to all adults and children and very interesting. We went as a family of three and we all enjoyed it. My 6 year old loved the boat ride as well as spotting the whales and dolphins on the tour. The two-hour tour went by so quickly - much better experience than going to a zoo to see animals in captivity!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience from start to finish and that it felt worth every penny—that truly means a lot to us. Ion will be especially happy to read your kind words. His passion for marine life and ability to share knowledge in a way that’s engaging for both adults and children is something we’re very proud of. It’s fantastic to know that your whole family enjoyed the tour, especially your 6-year-old—spotting whales and dolphins from the boat really is an unforgettable adventure at any age! We also really appreciate your perspective on experiencing animals in the wild. Creating meaningful, respectful encounters in their natural environment is exactly what we aim for. Thank you again for choosing us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another special day at sea! Take care!
Very she experiences. Guide at the top, passionate about his profession and who transmits his passion for marine animals. Animal friendly, unlike others that do not maintain the minimum distances between human and animal.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great experience and that you appreciated the guide’s passion and dedication to sharing knowledge about marine life. Respecting the animals and maintaining safe, responsible distances is extremely important to us, so it’s wonderful to know that this made a positive impression on you. We hope to welcome you back on board again in the future! Take care!
Recently I made the excursion and it could not be better: we were lucky enough to see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, something really exciting. However, what makes this company stand out is its equipment. Inigo and Carlota are charming and ten professionals; they are watching you at all times, asking how you are feeling and making sure that no one gets dizzy or uncomfortable. You can tell they love what they do and transmit a lot of safety and respect for the marine environment. I'll say it again!
¡Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña! Nos alegra enormemente saber que tu experiencia fue tan emocionante y que tuvisteis la suerte de ver ballenas y delfines en su hábitat natural. Es fantástico que valores también al equipo: Íñigo y Carlota se esfuerzan siempre por ofrecer un trato cercano y profesional, asegurándose de que todos los pasajeros se sientan cómodos y disfruten al máximo del viaje. Nos encanta que se perciba su pasión y el respeto que sienten por el entorno marino. Nos hace muy felices leer que repetirías la experiencia, y estaremos encantados de volver a darte la bienvenida a bordo en tu próxima aventura.
The trip was fantastic! Ion was a very knowledgeable guide, with a deep love of and respect for the cetaceans in the marine reserve. We saw a pod of 20-30 Atlantic spotted dolphins, a migratory species, many with calves; they approached the boat and enjoyed bow-riding, which was very special. We also saw a pod of pilot whales; several approached the boat, ensuring that the close encounter we were privileged to experience was on their terms. It was lovely listening to the sounds they made, using the hydrophone. Ion took lots of photos and shared them with us later, meaning it was possible to just enjoy the animals without worrying about taking our own photos. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough - thank you Ion!
Thank you so much for this incredible and detailed review. We’re absolutely delighted that you had such a special experience with Ion. His knowledge, passion, and deep respect for the cetaceans in the marine reserve truly define the way we approach every trip, and your words reflect exactly what we aim to offer. How wonderful that you encountered both the Atlantic spotted dolphins — especially with calves — and the resident pilot whales. Moments like dolphins choosing to bow-ride or pilot whales approaching on their own terms are always incredibly meaningful, because they remind us that these encounters happen respectfully and naturally. And listening to them through the hydrophone makes it even more magical. We’re also very happy you appreciated being able to fully enjoy the moment while Ion captured the memories for you — that’s exactly why we love sharing the photos afterward. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation and for trusting us with this experience. We hope to welcome you back on board one day! 🌊
