The boat turns its engine off whilst near the whales and there was ample time for many photo opportunities, including sitting with the captain! The guide & captain were informative & entertaining. My children enjoyed a dip in the sea off Masca whilst I enjoyed the stunning views. It was also brilliant value for money. Muchos gracias 😀”

Review of Tenerife’s small-group whale watching boat tour from Costa Adeje, with pilot whales, dolphins, a hydrophone, photos, and eco-friendly guiding.

“This was my favourite holiday activity I have ever done! I attended with my sister and my niece and we all had a fantastic time. We couldn't believe how many whales and dolphins we got to see, and how close they came to the boat. We were so glad that we booked a trip with this company - the group was small so we could all see perfectly, the boat was comfortable and felt safe, and the passion and knowledge of the guides was inspiring. I hope to do this again in the future and would recommend this trip to everyone who loves animals and cares about wildlife.”
