Whale and Dolphin Watching Yacht Trip – 3 Hours from Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje

    We booked a couple of trips on Sunday with Lisa Fay.She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the Island.
    We booked with Tenerife first excursions after seeing Daniel with the Macmaster on youtube.
    We were impressed that Daniel never runs down his competitors.
    We are looking forward to our first trip tomorrow.

    Dan and his co worker where very helpful, sorted us out 2 excursions with short notice for us to do the buggy experience and the freebird dolphin spotting today, which was very good, would definitely recommend both experiences and would recommend these 2 Irishmen which where very funny and they even sent me a courtesy message afterwords to see how the experience was which was very nice of them, true professionals

    Lovely friendly service from Daniel Ewing. Went on the 1/2 day tour to Mt Teide. Very enjoyable. Tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable delivered plenty of information in 3 languages. Plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, have a coffee etc. We didn't get to experience the cable car due to winds despite the fact that it was a lovely clear day. However, we were prepared for this possibility by both the travel office and the tour guide. Best of luck to the Rossi man in his new business venture. We hope it works out well for you.

    Met Linda this evening with only a few days left of our holiday. She was so lovely and very attentive. We told her what we were really wanting to do but also open to recommendations, she went through it all with us and was very personable. Would highly recommend booking through them. Can’t wait for our excursions now- day boat trip to see the dolphins and whales, swimming in the sea with snacks and drinks included (3hrs). Also, sunset buggy with snack and soft drink included.Thank you again Linda!!

    A great afternoon out one the boat Weather was excellent, the skipper took us to the dolphins and whales. Unfortunately we only saw whales blowing spouts, We did see dolphins but not fully out of the water. I can't really blame the company for that. Afterwards we moored up and went for a little swim. Basic food and drink was supplied as part of the deal.Thanks for a good afternoon.
