    Well worth it. Really enjoyed this trip. First went out to area to watch for whales and dolphins. We were lucky enough to see a few lone pilot whales but the highlight was a mother and calf that came through and surfaced twice. No dolphins but hey, this is mother nature, feel privileged to see what we did. Next off to a bay for a swim and snorkeling. There were fish around the boat but not a coral reef type, not spectacular but interesting. Food while not luxury was good, filling and plentiful. Drinks, soda and alcohol, on demand throughout. The guide was informative, friendly, caring when one youngster got sea sick and slightly eccentric in a good way. One of the highlights was him stood at the rear of the of the boat, arms in the air with a piece of chicken in each hand and all the local gulls swooping in to be feed. Laughed too much to get a photo sorry. Definitely well worth taking this trip.

    We booked all our trips and days out with Daniel in the Los Cristianos office, he was fantastic to deal with and gave us a lot of information to help us along as it was our first time in Tenerife. We’ll be back next year and will be going back to book everything with Daniel

    Geweldige tour Wij hebben enorm genoten van deze tour. We hadden een heldere avond en hebben een erg mooie zonsondergang gezien. De quats zijn makkelijk te besturen en we hebben een lang stuk mogen rijden door prachtige natuur en uitzicht. Onze guides Riko en Daniel waren ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. Ze gaven veel informatie over de omgeving en checkten regelmatig bij iedereen even in over hoe het ging. Als er iets was deden ze er gelijk wat aan. Ook was er water, snacks en champagne.We zouden deze tour zeker aanbevelen!

    Amazing experience We went at 9:30 since we heard that the animals are more active earlier in the day. The tour was almost private, there were five of us in total, including the captain which was very knowledge and nice. We had been sailing for probably 20 minutes when we saw some bottlenose dolphins and one of them even came up to the boat. As we continued we spotted a turtle but it disappeared rather quickly. Then we sailed to a known pilot whales area where we stopped for a while and spotted around 10 whales. Finally we sailed to a bay, on our way there we saw some more dolphins. There we stopped for drinks and sandwiches, stayed there for 30 minutes and then returned back, very happy with the amount of animals spotted.Side note: even though it's warm outside, make sure to bring something warm with you because it gets cold when sailing.
