Great outing, I recommend it.
Great excursion!
The captain was very attentive and very friendly. We were able to see whales, including a mother and her calf, it was great.
Afterwards we were near a small beach to swim and have an appetizer accompanied by good little sandwiches and some sweets.
No regrets, it was really great.

Fantastic trip- wholeheartedly recommend.
Absolutely wonderful morning spent with Patrick on his yacht. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. A gentle potter out, saw several pods of Pilot Whales just chilling /relaxing on the surface. Was amazing to see them so relaxed and not disturbed by our presence (Patrick took great care to ensure we kept a distance where we could see them clearly but also didn't disturb them at all). Then we pottered back to a cove for a swim, followed by homemade sandwiches and snacks/drinks. I literally couldn't recommend this trip highly enough. A wonderful treat that made our holiday. Thank you Patrick. Very much appreciated.

A lovely sailing experience
A great boat trip! We had a really enjoyable experience with Galatea Sailing. The captain was really friendly and did everything he could to make sure we got to see the dolphins, and in the end we were lucky enough to see them! It was such a lovely moment to share with my three daughters. There were six of us in total: the 4 of us, plus a father and his son. I highly recommend this experience!

Great day out!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day out with Patrick. We saw some gorgeous little whales and a turtle.
The lady (I think her name was Maria) was so lovely and helpful. Patrick gave us lots of treats and snacks on board and was very knowledgable with good humour . We would definitely recommend the tour.

Patrick is a fantastic guide!
We booked this experience on their website. There are 5 of us girls on vacation in Tenerife for the first time and we wanted to see the local whales/dolphins. We met Patrick, our guide, who was truly fantastic! Friendly and cheerful, he told us a lot of anecdotes about the island. He also gave us some advice for the following days of our vacation. He took us to see the whales/dolphins and then to a beach (Diego Hernandez) to swim among the fish with a mask and snorkel. Beautiful! He attracted the fish near us with some food. It was a lot of fun. After the swim, he had a fantastic appetizer waiting for us with sandwiches, chips, snacks, candy, and cookies. He also offered us soft drinks, wine, and beer. He was pleasant company and gave us a wonderful tour.

Amazing Dolphins and Whale watching experience
Amazing experience. Was so worth the price. Seen loads and loads of dolphins and whales and our sailor Diego was so knowledgeable and told us all about the dolphins and whales and also the history of the surrounding areas. It was the perfect length of time to be out on the ocean. We got to swim in the sea also. There was loads of lovely food, snacks alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. It was just me and my family of 7 and Patrick who collected us at the pier was absolutely lovely and helpful too. Had the best time it was so relaxing and interesting.
