Looking for a Unique Tenerife Adventure? Meet Ion! ✨🛶 - 🏝️ We wanted to end our one-week trip to Tenerife with a bang, and we found the ultimate unique adventure! 🌊 Looking for something truly exciting, we booked a two-hour private whale watching tour starting from the super cute beach town of Puerto Colón. Our goal? To see spotted and common dolphins and the famous resident pilot whales. 🐬✨ Our guide, Ion, was the highlight of the trip. Not only is he an expert guide, but he’s also a marine biologist who led us on a maritime adventure with a conscience. He made sure we approached these majestic creatures in a responsible way that didn't disrupt their natural habitat. The coolest part? We got to use a hydrophone to actually listen to the whales and dolphins communicating underwater! 🎧🐋 If you’re a fellow traveler looking for a unique and memorable experience, you have to book with this company. Ion is an incredible marine biologist filled with knowledge and passion. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the island! 🇪🇸🙌

Brilliant experience - Brilliant trip. Saw loads of pilot whales - really close up. Inigo and Carlota were both great. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. They took our boat away from all the other boats so we were the only ones there when we saw a big pod of whales. Would highly recommend these guys

Fantastic and 100% recommended - This was just an amazing experience from start to finish. It’s worth every penny and I would do it all over again. Ion (staff) was fantastic and a truly specialist on marine life. The amount of information was just right, accessible to all adults and children and very interesting. We went as a family of three and we all enjoyed it. My 6 year old loved the boat ride as well as spotting the whales and dolphins on the tour. The two-hour tour went by so quickly - much better experience than going to a zoo to see animals in captivity!

I highly recommend - Very she experiences. Guide at the top, passionate about his profession and who transmits his passion for marine animals. Animal friendly, unlike others that do not maintain the minimum distances between human and animal.

An unforgettable experience from start to finish - Recently I made the excursion and it could not be better: we were lucky enough to see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, something really exciting. However, what makes this company stand out is its equipment. Inigo and Carlota are charming and ten professionals; they are watching you at all times, asking how you are feeling and making sure that no one gets dizzy or uncomfortable. You can tell they love what they do and transmit a lot of safety and respect for the marine environment. I'll say it again!

Fantastic and respectful experience - highly recommended! - The trip was fantastic! Ion was a very knowledgeable guide, with a deep love of and respect for the cetaceans in the marine reserve. We saw a pod of 20-30 Atlantic spotted dolphins, a migratory species, many with calves; they approached the boat and enjoyed bow-riding, which was very special. We also saw a pod of pilot whales; several approached the boat, ensuring that the close encounter we were privileged to experience was on their terms. It was lovely listening to the sounds they made, using the hydrophone. Ion took lots of photos and shared them with us later, meaning it was possible to just enjoy the animals without worrying about taking our own photos. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough - thank you Ion!

Great sighting trip in Tenerife - It was a great experience with many sightings of the calderones that inhabit the area, accompanied by Iñigo (excellent captain) who made us enjoy the trip and his comments and Carlota the phenomenal biologist with the explanations. We really enjoyed the two hours we were cut short. Thank you very much, eskerrikasko

A truly special morning on the ocean! - We had a fantastic whale watching trip with Whale Watch Tenerife. Our biologist, Carlota, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating information while showing great respect for the whales. The skipper was excellent, calm, experienced, and made the whole trip feel safe and relaxed. Seeing whales in their natural habitat was unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend this experience more highly. A truly special morning on the ocean!

Amazing Tour!! - We saw so many animals up close — it was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Ion, has an enormous knowledge of marine life, and the entire tour is designed to follow all biological guidelines to protect the animals. He takes photos with his own camera and later shares a link with everyone, allowing you to fully enjoy the experience while listening to his explanations. The boat was very clean, and all the infrastructure looked brand new. Communication with the team was always easy, and they were very punctual :)
