    Atlantic Rose We were out on the Atlantic Rose from Puerto Colon today. We had a great time on this yacht, just 10 of us, watching the bottle nosed whales drinking wine, eating scrummy baguettes and swimming. So relaxing. The skipper Jesus and co skipper Thomas really looked after us well. Happy to have been a part of this experience. Thanks Tenerife excursions for the recommendation.

    We live here and had family over from France and booked a boat trip through Sahar.Just to say we enjoyed every minutes of it! Everything was well organized, we were only 10 on the excursion boat which was perfect and very relaxing. A company we will recommend as they are extremely professional … cant wait to do it again!
