Es war ein sehr schöne Tour leider haben wir nur Delphine gesehen und keine Wale aber das ist eben Glückssache 🙂

We booked an excursion with Whale Watch Tenerife as we preferred the more personal and interactive experience you get in a smaller boat. Both our guide and the captain were very knowledgeable and engaging. We managed to see multiple groups of both dolphins and pilot whales during our 2 hour excursion. For me 2 hours was the right amount of time for the trip. I would definitely recommend Whale Watch Tenerife to anyone looking for an amazing experience.

This was my favourite experience on our whole vacation. I must admit, I was a little skeptical at first because of the guaranted whale sightings (I mean, how can you persuade the whales to show up?), but I didn't have to be. We quickly found out (thanks to our great knowledgeable biologist on the board Ion) that in these waters lives the greatest concentration of pilot whales on the planet. And we did see them indeed 🙂 Whole 2-hour trip was full of sightings of pilot whales (even with babies!) and we were lucky to see atlantic spotted dolphins too. Captain John was very respectful and kept the distance of the ship from the mom and the babies to not to stress them. We even picked some garbage found on the open sea to make sure animals living there wont get hurt. I didn't have to even pick up my phone to photograph the animals - Ion thit this favour for us too, so we had plenty od uninterupted time to enjoy the animals. If I will come to Tenerife one more timd, I will definitely go with these guys again. Thank you so much.

We had a great two-hour trip in mid-May with Nuria and Captain Ion. The small boat size meant that everyone got a great view of the dolphins and whales. Ion was very attentive to how everyone was faring in terms of comfort (and sea-sickness) and drove very considerately. Both he and Nuria provided comprehensive explanations of the marine life. It was great to be out with marine biologists - that's a real benefit of this company as against some of the other operations, which also use larger boats. Would strongly recommend a tour with this company.

Small boatie for 8 people (if 10, then too tight). Spent 2 hours on the water. We did whale/dolphin watching for the 1st time in life, so we didn’t know what to expect, and we had amazing experience. Ion, the biologist, is a very cool guy and he told us a lot of interesting stuff about the marine life.

Respeto por los animales y el entorno, patrón y guía increíblemente profesionales, ambos biólogos y eso se nota, explicaciones llenas de pasión y datos de interés de cada una de las especies que vimos, delfines, calderones, tortugas.... Sin duda una experiencia para repetir. Gracias a todo el equipo.
