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.
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!
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 😊
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.
¡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!
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!!
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! 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!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We enjoyed a wonderful excursion. Saw bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales with babies. The team is super friendly (we were out with Carlotta and Inigo), shared so much knowledge about these amazing animals with us, and were extremely respectful in their interactions with the animals! They kept a generous distance and let the whales and dolphins decide for themselves if they wanted to check us out. The pilot whales had babies, but still came quite close to the boat. It was simply wonderful! Highly recommended!!! We also encountered overcrowded, large ships and were glad not to have booked with them. Keep it up, dear team, you are great!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful and heartfelt review! 💙🐋🐬 We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your time on the water with Carlotta and Inigo. Seeing pilot whales with their babies is always a very special experience, and we’re so happy you were able to witness such a beautiful and peaceful encounter. We truly believe that the animals should always be the ones to decide how close they want to come, and it means a lot that you noticed and appreciated our respectful approach. We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed all the information and stories shared by the team. Sharing our passion for these incredible animals while helping our guests understand and respect their environment is at the heart of what we do. 🌊💙 Thank you for your kind words and for recommending us so enthusiastically! We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Carlotta, Inigo, and the whole team. We hope to see you back on board again one day! 🥰 Take care🐋
The captain lives his enthusiasm for whales. He explains many things about whales and the special conditions off Tenerife calmly, factually, and with humor. He approaches the whales cautiously, so that they finally surface a few meters away from the boat without shyness. Simply a great tour, we felt very comfortable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙🐋 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and felt so comfortable on board. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the captain’s passion, knowledge, and calm approach to the whales. Our priority is always to observe these incredible animals respectfully and give them the space they need, while allowing our guests to enjoy those special encounters. We’re so happy that you had the chance to see the whales so close to the boat in such a peaceful way. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future! Take care 🌊🐋
Thank you for this wonderful trip with a great, very empathetic, and humorous leader. How beautifully he speaks to the animals - lovingly as if they were his children. How beautifully and expertly he reports on "his family." Thank you - everything was perfect and wonderful - the water - the sun - the boat - the leader - and best of all the whales and dolphins 🥰
Thank you so much Lydia for such a beautiful and heartfelt review! 💙🐋🐬 It truly means a lot to us to know that you enjoyed every part of the experience, from the sunshine and the sea to the boat, our guide, and of course, the whales and dolphins! We’re especially happy that you noticed the care and respect our guide has for the animals. They really are our “family”, and sharing our passion and knowledge about them with our guests is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Thank you for joining us and for appreciating the experience so warmly. We hope to welcome you back on board for another wonderful adventure very soon! Take care 🥰🌊
Ion is a knowledgeable and fun guide. The tour experience with the sightings and information on marine life is precise and interesting. As soon as it's over, you already want to do it again!
Grazie mille per le tue bellissime parole. Siamo tutti molto contenti che sia stata un bella ed emozionante esperienza. Speriamo di rivederti presto a bordo e condividere insieme altre emozionanti avventure con i nostri cetacei e incredibile team! Ciao!
We had a fantastic whale-watching tour. The weather was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see so many pilot whales, which made the experience truly special. The team was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information throughout the tour. What impressed me most was how respectful they were towards the environment and the wildlife. They even stopped to collect plastic from the sea, and they never chased the whales. When the whales approached the boat, they switched off the engine so as not to disturb or stress them. It was wonderful to see how much they genuinely care about protecting the ocean and the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely love to coma back again. Highly recommended!
