Respectful and professional - The crew was very friendly and professional. We saw dolphins and pilot whales very close. They are very respectful of animals and turn off their engines so as not to disturb them.

Great time. Well worth it. - My daughter and I loved this trip. The boat is a 130yo former Portuguese trade ship. The whales were incredible and to see Tenerife from this angle was excellent. The crew are great lads as well.

Lovely! - Brilliant! I can’t see any reason to rate lower. The boat arrived on time, the crew was lovely and we saw lots of pilot whales. We were offered drinks for €1 to €3, super cheap, and toward the end we were offered a free cocktail. We had a chance to jump off the boat into the water and swim for a little which was fun. Overall a great experience.

Great whale watching experience - Booked the 5 hour Shogun tour with my husband and my 2 kids (10 and 7) and honestly it's was money well spent!
The host/MC (cannot remember his name) was absolutely fantastic - he was chatting to everyone and very informative of the itinerary and the sights along the way!
My little boy was rather nervous and wasn't feeling himself for the first half of the trip, and was offered a little mattress to sleep on.
He made my son feel so much better, and kept interacting with him by name over the microphone, so much so, that by the end all the other passengers knew who he was!
He even got the captain to let him steer the boat. Which pleased my son so much!
All the crew when we left referred to him as Captain Oliver. Such a nice experience for him!
We saw pilot whales, which was a thrilling experience, then enjoyed a lovely lunch at Los Gigantes!
I would 100% book again in a heartbeat.

Excellent value and highly recommended - We embarked pn a 2 hour boat trip from Los Cristionas on an open 19th century former Portuguese commercial vessel.
The muntilingual comentary was informative and entertaining. We got to see at least 2 pods of pilot whales consisting of 8 or 9 whales made up of family groups. We were allowed to swim in the beautiful ocean and had the opportunity to purchase some beautiful souvenir photos. Excellent value and highly recommended.

A brilliant experience! - A brilliant experience watching pilot whales and dolphins aboard this lovely ship. Our guide was amazing with his knowledge, a lot of fun and spoke in at least 4 languages which was so inclusive and impressive!
Water was free onboard, soft drinks, wine and beer all €1 and cocktails were €2 which was fab.
Stopped off for a little bit to jump in the sea which was 21 degrees and the captain even let the children steer the ship for a bit and help with the sails.
Would thoroughly recommend this 2 hour trip! 🙌🏼
