Very lovely trip with a small group - I loved that we were very respectfull of the animals in the ocean. We had a swim and got snacks, drinks and a sandwich. I also got a very convenient transfer directly from the hotel. Thx for the lovely time on the sailing boat :)

A spectacular sailing morning. - We loved the boat ride with a small group of polite and friendly people. We have been able to enjoy the sea sighted dolphins and pilot whales. We have also seen the ins and outs of sailing on a sailboat. Save the boat's skipper, he wanders through the passage, offering cold drink or food at all hours and answering all the questions raised by the passage. I even went back to port to pick up two passengers who were a little late. He has provided us with glasses and tubes for snorkeling in front of a busy beach.

Extraordinary and great crews - Incroyable. The crew was top and at our care and extremely kind. We saw turtles, dolphins (rarest) and cephalo (genus of whale). In addition, the service includes hotel/port transfers as well as drinks and lunches. On the boat we were 7, so in small committee, perfect for the 3h ride. The captain took us to a small creek to snorkel before returning to port.

Highly recommended - Totally recommended. We booked this experience with another family of friends and, honestly, it was a great success. We have been lucky enough to see several families of whales up close, as well as dolphins. This was accompanied by explanations at all times from Salvador, who, in addition to being a wildlife expert, proved to be a great diver. Thanks to Salvador and Laura for giving us such a great time.

Amazing day - Salvatore and Laura were amazing from start to finish. Friendly and welcoming, and Salvatore is so knowledgeable and shared wonderful insights in to Tenerife and the wildlife. We were lucky enough to see around 20 pilot whales and also a large school of dolphins (and they were jumping!), before stopping for a lovely swim and lunch. The highlight of the trip however was seeing a large loggerhead turtle on the way back. Just amazing ❤️ We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much for a truly memorable day!

Sailing on the ocean - Wonderful experience, boat ride and exceptional team. Kind and fantastic with the child, prepared, recommended for those who love small groups, more intimate, delicious snack. The stretch without engine, very pleasant, was worth the exit. Thank you. Elia Sara e Flavio

A beautiful experience with the best hosts - We always do a boat trip on holiday - this might be the best ever. Just 10 people plus 2 crew - and we passed the rammed party boats and were happy not to be on them. The wonderful Captain Salvador offered us drinks, made us feel at home and was on the radio to follow up sightings of whales and dolphins. He engaged with everyone in multiple languages and went above and beyond. We saw lots of pilot whales that swam right up to and beneath the boat - it was enchanting. He gave us great facts about the birds, fish and sea mammals we were seeing. Another great thing? We stopped a couple of times so they could fish out plastic left by less careful people at sea - a big tub, a weird thing that looked like a lamp - they knew this damaged local sea life and were doing their bit. It fit with the overall vibe of a trip that didn’t feel like a tourist churn, but generally lovely and run by people who care about where they live. We had sandwiches, beer, cava, we got a hug as we left. What a great day.
