We loved this!
AI suggested this would make a good outing - and it was right!
Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. He spoke multiple languages.
We saw a huge amount of Pilot Whales, we saw Turtles & Dolphins too. The boat was small and speedy. This added to our enjoyment.
100% recommend.

Whale watching trip
We had an amazing trip, Ion was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw two pods which was an incredible experience and also done in a completely appropriate way with the animals welfare and habitat totally respected. I’d go again tomorrow if I could and highly recommend. Also the photos were sent through promptly and free which is really appreciated and unusual in this day & age! Thanks Ion for a brilliant trip!

Absolutely worth it – an amazing experience!
We did this whale watching eco adventure on 24 September in the morning, together with our guide Ion, and it was absolutely worth it!
Ion was a fantastic guide. He told us so much about the animals, the ocean and the surroundings, always with so much passion and genuine love for both the animals and his job. You could really feel how much he cares about what he does.
We were also incredibly lucky to have dolphins come right alongside our boat! 🐬 This was such a special moment, and we believe Ion’s patience and respectful way of approaching the animals made a big difference. He took his time instead of rushing, which allowed us to enjoy this beautiful encounter in the best possible way.
It was not just a boat trip, but a truly memorable and respectful wildlife experience. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tenerife, and especially if you get the chance to go with Ion! 💙🐬

It was a real pleasure to have you with us on the whale watching eco adventure. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and, especially, that Ion’s passion, patience, and respect for the ocean and its wildlife made your trip so special.
Those moments when dolphins choose to come alongside the boat are truly magical, and we’re so happy you were able to enjoy such a beautiful encounter. 🐬✨ We always believe that giving the animals space and time is the best way to experience them respectfully, so your kind words mean a lot to us.
Thank you for recommending us and for appreciating the care and passion we put into these experiences. We hope to welcome you back to Tenerife for another unforgettable adventure! Take care 💙🌊

Wonderful Whale Watching
It was a wonderful experience. We saw pilot whales and dolphins. During the tour we learnt many interesting facts about cetaceans.
The tour was on a small boat with a small 10 person group. Both guides were friendly and passionate about whales.
Our original date got postponed due to weather conditions. The communication from the operator was clear and they allowed us to reschedule the tour for a different day.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙🐋
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and had the chance to see both pilot whales and dolphins. It’s great to know that you found the information about the cetaceans interesting and that our guides’ passion came through during the tour.
We also really appreciate your understanding regarding the weather-related postponement. The safety of our guests and the well-being of the animals always come first, so we’re glad we could find another date that worked for you.
It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back for another ocean adventure in the future! 🌊 Take care🐬

Cozy whale watching in a small group
We really enjoyed this experience with a small group of 8 people, while we were watching passing ships and boats with squeezed 60+ people on board. Carlota was extremely knowledgeable and was sharing a lot of interesting facts about marine ecosystem in Tenerife. This experience is slightly more expensive than from other providers, but, trust me, it worths it!
Operator response
Thank you so much Sofia for your wonderful review! 💙 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience in our small group and that Carlota’s knowledge and passion for Tenerife’s marine ecosystem made the trip even more special.
We truly believe that keeping our groups small allows us to offer a more personal experience while giving the animals the respect and space they deserve. 🐬🌊
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back on board someday! Take care 😊

Magnificent
Everything was spectacular, both the explanation and the treatment. Although in my case I preferred to see it in another way, the way in which the tour is done without aggressively looking for the animal made me change my mind and enjoy it much more and think that it is the true correct way to enjoy these experiences.
Operator response
¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! 😊 Nos alegra especialmente saber que la forma respetuosa en la que realizamos el tour te hizo cambiar de perspectiva y disfrutar aún más de la experiencia.
Para nosotros, lo más importante es poder observar a los animales en su entorno natural sin perseguirlos ni alterar su comportamiento. Saber que has terminado viendo esta manera de hacerlo como la forma correcta de disfrutar de la naturaleza significa muchísimo para nosotros. 🐋💙
¡Gracias por confiar en nosotros y esperamos volver a verte en una próxima aventura!

A must-do
It was a great experience. The guides were super pleasant, funny, passionate, and attentive. We had a truly eco-responsible experience, by letting the whales come to us. Even when I felt a little faint (as I had stayed standing a bit too long during the whale watching), they were immediately attentive. Thanks again to both of you!!
Operator response
Merci so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with our guides and that their passion, care, and good humour made your trip special. 🐋💙
We’re especially happy that you appreciated our respectful and eco-responsible approach to whale watching, allowing the animals to approach us naturally and observing them without disturbing them.
We’re also glad that our team was able to take care of you when you felt a little unwell. Your comfort and well-being are always very important to us!
Thank you again for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to see you again for another wonderful adventure at sea! Take care 🌊

Amazing experience.
Amazing experience! Everything from the meet-up to end was fantastic. The guide, Ion was absolutely great - friendly, knowledgable, funny and profesional at the same time. He kept making sure everybody was doing alright and that we were having a good experience. You can tell he really cares about the animals and the environment, which is important and amazing to see.
We were able to observe dolphins and pilot whales in their natural habitat, which was priceless. 10/10 would recommend!
