If whale watching, it's with Biosean. Small group, small boat, great experience of the boatmaster. The whales were traveling in small and large groups, engine off, let drift, they came close, wonderful experience. Listened to the hydrophone of whale communication. Wonderful! Great information, detailed introduction. A real experience!

Indescribable experience

Exciting experience, I didn't imagine so much. Thanks to Raul, a marine biologist, we have learned so many aspects of the life of pilot whales. Going with a small rubber boat with only ten places allowed us to see them and almost touch them. Few times such an educational and rewarding activity. Highly recommended right with them

Highly recommended tour

No back-and-forth, but detailed, interesting explanation on the subject of motivated captain. The small group allows questions at any time and you get everything. Very nice to hear the “communication” of the animals. We can only recommend the tour and will book us again on occasion.

Wonderful and enriching experience

This was a tour of the highest quality. Only 9 of us on the rib, expert knowledge of our skipper and scientific officer, and the most wonderful and respectful watching of whales and dolphins. It was a real privilege to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat.

A wonderful experience

A wonderful experience, respectful of animals and the environment. The team is extremely accommodating: we had booked the 12 o'clock outing. The team contacted us to offer us the 9am outing because better weather. Unfortunately, we could not be there in time. The team arranged to have the boat leave at 10:00. We had the chance to observe 3 different species. The biosean team doesn't play the clock, they took the time and let us enjoy the show and we exceeded 2h30. Their explanations are super and very precise. We learn a lot about local species. We did the outing with our little two-year-old boy and the whole team was exceptional with him. Loves!! A huge thank you to you for your kindness, your availability, your Welcoming. We had an extraordinary time!!! And our little boy too! 😍🤩

The marine adventure!

Couple with 13-year-old. Very rough sea but personal at the top and professional. Visit on a zodiac with 8 tourists included. Full of explanations to understand the marine environment. Captain very invested Despite the unsuitable climatic conditions: the team persevered; we saw a sea turtle and pilot dolphins. A great experience much more respectful than armored sightseeing! (Whales are only visible in spring)

Thank you for being part of our adventure and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure to have had you on board! Greetings from Tenerife!

An unforgettable experience

An incredible, unforgettable experience! Misael shares his knowledge in several languages and his passion for cetaceans is felt. We did the family outing (child 7 years and 1.5 years) and enjoyed the show about 10 or 15 whales, 2 of which stayed close to the boat for a long time, our daughter loved the experience. Biosean has a scientific perspective, very respectful of animals and the environment, and Misael is a professional who handled the boat perfectly despite the strong waves today. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your lovely words and this review! We are happy that you had a great experience with us!

Exploring the sea creatures

Very nice tour, small boat, no mass handling, all the best. The captain went to great lengths to explain everything to us well, also drawing attention to the problems, as the fast ferries pass through the protected area. We were lucky enough to see a dolphin school, so the kindergarten and how later a group of dolphins rested, also very interesting the marine birds that live here on the water. Very individual tour, I can only recommend.

Vielen Dank !!! We've enjoyed having you with us.
