Whale and Dolphin Watching Catamaran with Transfer and Buffet

great if you love to go out spotting whales, while the group is not too large. Crew is very friendly and helpful and overall the experience was excellent!

It was a great experience. Too bad the sea was so rough.

Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience and not one I would recommend. We had to wait around 45 minutes in the baking sun before boarding, with no shade or access to water. It was unbearably hot and, understandably, left our whole group uncomfortable and in a bad mood before the trip had even started. I really feel some form of shelter should be provided when customers are expected to wait for that length of time in such high temperatures. By the time we boarded, the boat was extremely busy and, as we were among the last to get on, we couldn't find seats together. There were also no seats left in the shade, so we ended up sitting in the full sun and getting roasted all over again. The food was also poor and certainly didn't make up for the other issues. We were also left with the uncomfortable impression that Spanish customers received more attentive treatment than we did as British visitors. Whether intentional or not, that was how the experience came across to us and it added to our disappointment. There were also several issues with the attitude and service from some members of staff that I could go into in more detail. However, I don't particularly want to slate individual staff members or make this review any more negative than it already is. Suffice to say, the level of service did little to improve an already disappointing experience. Overall, the trip fell well below our expectations. The long wait in extreme heat, lack of shade, overcrowded boat, seating situation, poor food and disappointing service made it an experience we wouldn't want to repeat. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend it.

Amazing in ever way staff very efficient and very helpful Cleaness was amazing

Excellent day out at sea seen whales was a bumpy trip in case you don’t like that we loved it would highly recommend doing this staff where great food and drinks also included so happy days 😎

Overall great experience! Would highly recommend as activity was amazing and workers were all nice and accommodating. We saw pilot whales and incredible views of the island from the sea!

I didn’t enjoy this experience I find it really unsafe, as we had a bit of the rough water and no life jackets or any sort of seat belts were available to keep you on Cataraman, I felt I was one slip away from getting into the sea. I couldn’t wait for this experience to end. Pick up and drop off was great, on time and pleasant.

We booked for a group of 11 people, with a pickup at our hotel in Costa Adeje. Everything went smoothly and exactly as described. We were contacted by the Monte Cristo team the day before our trip to arrange the pickup, and on the day itself the pickup occurred exactly as promised. The great thing about the Monte Cristo Catamaran trip is that it is a smaller boat. There are no crowds on board, which means everyone gets to see very well. Some of the other boats are huge, with over a 100 passengers on board, which makes it difficult to get a good look if animals are spotted on the other side of the boat. Although it was just a three hour boat trip, we did get to see plenty of pilot whales, and even a mother and her calf - very cute. The crew was also very friendly and helpful. They certainly did their best to make everyone comfortable and happy. The offered buffet is nothing special though. It is prepared on board, by a tiny crew in a ship's kitchen/galley, so it is a small offering of some cold meats and cheeses, a slice of bread, some tortilla, cookies, etc. This was fine for us: we weren't expecting more and neither should anyone else. But some of our fellow travellers on board did seem a bit disappointed. I'm only mentioning it here to manage expectations of future travellers.

It is a wonderful trip and the crew was very attentive to everything, we saw whales but no dolphins, we were not lucky, 45 minutes to take a magnificent swim and a snack table with tortillas, cold cuts, tomato, roasted peppers and drinks and fruit all the time to finish off with sweets. I highly recommend it, just keep in mind that you can get seasick, I recommend taking biodramina before leaving

The team were great! We saw dolphins, whales and a turtle. I would suggest that if you have even the slightest suspicion you will be seasick, take some tablets beforehand!
