    15 pilot whales and 4 dolphines Our skipper, Patrick has plenty of sea experience after 25 years fishing in Alaska :-) He knows the habitat very well and navigated us to see dolphins and whales from very close! This is a sailboat, but it runs on an engine. There are comfortable places to sit. You get modern full-face masks for snorkeling. We stopped in a small bay and we saw a lot of fish (they enjoy feeding).Be aware that the waves are high even with moderate wind.

    The best excursions Linda from the Costa Adeje branch was a great 10/10 star, Linda had a difficult job from us wanting to do 1 hour jet skis, the 3hr sunset buggies & 3hr whale watching boat trip on the last three days of our trip but pulled it out the bag and got us sorted on each excursion anf we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Tenerife first excursions and everyone go see Linda. Be back soon
