Beautiful and informative - A great trip! I would do it again at any time and gladly recommend it. We not only saw many pilot whales, but also received very interesting information in English.

Simply the best - We had an amazing trip with John on a sunny afternoon. John was very knowledgeable and clearly cared about the environment around him. We saw lots of whales, some turtles and dolphins. We also got to hear the whales talking. We strongly recommend a trip with this responsible nature minded business.

Excellent care and attention on this beautiful experience - Wow what an amazing experience. Thank you to Moony and Ion who took great care of us, the welfare of guests and the animals is clearly important to them,
The trip is good value for money, the knowledge and experience shared in the tour was excellent. Moony and Ion expertly found lots of pilot whales for us to see and hear using the specialist equipment. We were also treated to see a group of bottle nose dolphins!
It is a nice touch that photos are send out following the excursion.
100% recommend and would go again for sure, no 2 trips are the same.
Tips for the marina- we parked no problem pay on exit. Toilets are 50 cent coin only… all other money out in will be lost and will not gain entry.

Whale Watch Tenerife SL - 5* experience - An unforgettable and truly outstanding experience from start to finish! From the moment we stepped on board, we felt more like part of a team than just passengers. Maria and Ion were simply fantastic — welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the ocean and its incredible wildlife.
Ion was always attentive, constantly checking in to make sure everyone was okay and enjoying themselves. Maria provided fascinating insights into the whales and dolphins we encountered, and the deep respect they both showed for the animals and their environment made the whole experience even more special.
The boat was a RIB with just 10 passengers, which made the trip feel personal and immersive. Being so close to the water gave us an amazing connection to the surroundings — so much more intimate than the larger boats we saw. It’s not the cheapest tour available, but it’s absolutely worth every penny for the quality of the experience you get.
We didn’t want to miss a single moment, so I chose not to take any photos — and I didn’t regret it. Maria took photos during the trip and will send them on afterwards, allowing us to fully soak in the experience while still having memories to look back on.
We came for the whales, not the extras, and this tour delivered exactly what we were looking for. If (or when!) we return to Tenerife, we’ll be booking again without hesitation. Thank you, Maria and Ion, for a magical day we’ll never forget!

Amazing - Ion was amazing and so knowledgeable regarding marine life. He gave an excellent commentary and really looked after us. We saw several pods of pilot whales and a loggerhead turtle. The team he works with look after these creatures and they name them. We also saw baby whales. Highly recommend this trip.

Must-do in Tenerife - This was a great tour. Our guide was friendly, but most importantly, truly passionate about the marine world. Explanation were very informative and the boat tour is safe. The group is smaller than other tours we've seen, which makes it more unique. 100% recommend.

Easy-going , passionate tour. - Incredible experience from start to finish. easy meeting point, small group size and very comfortable and fast boat.
John our guide was extremely passionate about his job and full of knowledge. Going out with the expectation of possibly not seeing anything is definitely the best attitude and you feel so lucky when you get to see Pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles. Very animal conscious company.

Great Ocean & boat team, rest is up to luck - Tour itself: We had the first Tour in the morning time of a day. Overall we did not have much luck as we saw twice a Group of pilotwales but from distance. Luck, because unfortunately you should know and aknowledge that those are Animals and not necessary interested into the boat. So on one hand a respectful way, but on the other hand little disappointing. The Team of the Boat (Captain & Biologist) were very kind - thanks for that :) In Addition riding the boat was pretty fun.
Organization: it is important (!) to be on time as the boat drives away as planned. This is totally okay and was communicated before. But if you are new to the area, better plan more than 20 minutes prior to the due time, as on this port almost everything is white, grey and blue and it was really hard to orientate and find the right port gate. The City area is busy as alot of hotels are located here. It could be helpful to receiceve a port map with pictures or the direct Google Maps stationary code. So overall stressful and not necessary.
