Amazing, wonderful experience from such a friendly experienced team. Instructor Elena looked after myself and daughter so well. Dolphins and a turtle made my day. Great value for money.....do it. Yes, we will try diving next time 😘xx
People were lovely, but the title is very misleading. You will not be snorkelling with turtles. You’ll get to see some for 5 minutes and only snorkel with fish. The title should be “snorkelling with fishes with a possibility of seeing turtles”
Hey, Thank you very much for your feedback and for your kind words about our team — we are happy to hear that you found them lovely. We are sorry if the title of the activity gave you different expectations. As we work with wild animals in their natural environment, turtle sightings can never be guaranteed. While we often see turtles during our trips, their presence always depends on natural conditions. We appreciate your suggestion and will take it into account to make our descriptions even clearer for future guests. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
Friendly, good and professional service, nice and positive people where we felt in safe hands. Their thorough review of safety on land before the trip made us tremendously safe. We were offered to upgrade our snorkeling to diving, for more money, which was clearly worth all the money! 30 minutes with bottles on the bottom, with guide right next to, and 30 minutes with snorkeling on the surface. Unfortunately we did not see turtles, but many dolphins jumped next to the boat on the sailing to and from the dive spot. Clearly recommended worthy! Just remember to breath 👍🏼😉
My daughter and I had an amazing experience on our snorkelling trip today with this centre. We saw turtles on the surface and many dolphins. The guides were very informative and respectful to the marine life. I would highly recommend
A nice first snorkel experience with instructor Max and Captain Gueillermo! Good explanation, beautiful fish and group of dolphins. Recommended!
Hartelijk dank voor je mooie review! We zijn heel blij te horen dat jullie een fijne eerste snorkelervaring hebben gehad met instructeur Max en kapitein Guillermo. Geweldig dat jullie ook dolfijnen hebben gezien, dat maakt het extra bijzonder! Hopelijk zien we jullie binnenkort weer voor een nieuw avontuur in het water. Zonnige groeten
Hello, a stunning experience, Elena is awesome, friendly, professional, patient......with how nervous I got made me relax and enjoy diving, this girl has it all 😱😉, thank you so much from Hector
stormy sea diving no visibility in the water We are taken by zodiac to a creek very close to the port of departure or we could have gone by car without paying 45 euros per person the zodiac deflates and is re-inflated using the mid-course diving bottles
Bonjour, Merci pour votre avis. Nous sommes désolés que votre expérience n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Les plongées se déroulent en mer ouverte, donc la visibilité et l’état de l’eau dépendent de la nature et nous ne pouvons pas les contrôler. Concernant l’itinéraire, la crique choisie est très proche du port, mais elle est un lieu sûr et populaire pour la plongée et le snorkeling, ce qui la rend optimale pour les excursions en zodiac. En ce qui concerne le zodiac : c’est un bateau gonflable, et parfois de petites corrections de pression sont nécessaires, surtout en mer ouverte. C’est totalement sûr et cela est fait pour votre protection. Nous vous remercions pour votre retour et espérons que vous pourrez profiter de futures plongées avec de meilleures conditions météorologiques et une meilleure visibilité. Cordialement, Elena
I was inTenerife with friends and we took the opportunity to return to the Travel Sub Dive Center where we had a great experience with Snorkeling. We were fascinated by the wonders we saw. In addition to turtles there were several species of fish. The staff confirmed their professionalism and friendliness, I highly recommend it.

This year I returned to Tenerife and I had a great experience doing a nice boat ride and snorkeling seeing in addition to fish also turtles
Grazie di cuore per la tua bellissima recensione! Che bello sapere che hai vissuto un’altra splendida esperienza con noi, tra il giro in barca, lo snorkeling e l’incontro con le tartarughe, momenti davvero speciali! Ti aspettiamo presto per regalarti nuove emozioni e tanti altri ricordi indimenticabili sotto il mare di Tenerife.
I loved THE boat ride seeing dolphins near THE fish farms, THE swim with Fabiana as a guide that is fantastic. And the pictures he took of me with Fish were beautiful and funny. I will definitely repeat and next time underwater.
Grazie mille per la tua splendida recensione! Che bello sapere che ti sei divertito/a con il giro in barca, i delfini e il bagno guidato da Fabiana, è davvero fantastica! Siamo contenti che le foto ti siano piaciute e ti abbiano fatto sorridere Non vediamo l’ora di rivederti presto per una nuova esperienza, magari questa volta sott’acqua! A prestissimo.
