Incredible experience that you should not miss in Tenerife - We have done this tour that was simply incredible, very well organized and the bay where they take you has an amazing landscape straight out of a movie, just for the landscape it was worth it, if you do this you add the attention to the unbeatable treatment, seeing 2 Turtles in their natural habitat of 2 different species, seeing rays and countless fish, it was an amazing experience. We will repeat every time we come with this company, they do great

A very safe, enjoyable experience run by experts. - The entire session was superb. As snorkelling instructors for over 40 years, we realise that snorkelling can be dangerous. I spent hours selecting the right organisers for us. We are both in our mid 60s and needed to be sure we were in safe hands. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. Elio and Angeles were superb guides. Every aspect of the trip was well planned superbly organised, safe and enjoyable. Elio took a great video and photographs which were sent to us the same day. The sea was choppy which made the boat ride even more exciting. Angeles was superb in reassuring us and kept a close eye on us. Both of the instructors demonstrated that they were very experienced snorkellers and divers. The entire time we spent with them showed us that this trip has been run many times and every aspect run smoothly - except for us turning up at the wrong jetty. Next time I will read Elio's message more carefully. Thank you for such a great experience. Our memories of the trip will last for a long time.

A great tour, fun and professional for a reasonable price! - We went with the two guides and it was a wonderful tour. She was very knowledgeable and could answer all questions about the nature around and the animal life, turtles and dolphins and stingrays. They were every fun and professional, and upon arriving at the snorkling spot, the guides quickly found us a few turtles to swim around with, a truly memorable and unique experience! On top of that they provided everything we needed for a very reasonable price. Thanks a bunch! Definitely recommend.

The tour was really... - The tour was really wonderful. We had a nice boat trip to the spot where we went snorkeling and also had some refreshments for the start. We had lots of time for snorkeling and swimming with the turtles. Also we were only a small group of four people so it was really a unique experience.

Great trip - Well organised and friendly team. Boat ride out and back was fun. Snorkelling was good but disappointing not to see turtles whilst swimming.

Snorkeling - Beautiful fish but we did not see any turtles and most people didn’t see the one baby stingray. That was disappointing.

The most unprofessional company I have dealt with. Harrassed me extensively. - I had an absolutely terrible experience with this company. I feel compelled to share my story with others in a review as their incredibly unprofessional behaviour is just not OK by any standard. I booked an outing with Ocean Friends Diving to snorkel with turtles and stingrays. It was one of the main reasons for me to travel to Tenerife. I chose a much more expensive company compared to some of the other ones I saw online because I wanted an authentic experience that would respect wildlife and one that was not a tourist trap. I understand that sightings of wildlife in their environments is never guaranteed however I have gone out to sea to see dolphins many, many times and an estimate is always provided. Not here. On my outing with Ocean Friends, the second part of the ocean we snorkelled in was extremely cold and extremely choppy. I kept trying to swim to the boat and wasn't able to because it kept moving. I was alone most of the time. THe instructor spent his time with 2 Spanish tourists that were on the boat with me. In fact, I felt discriminated against due to the fact that I speak English and most of the time he was just talking Spanish with this couple who actually paid even less than me... I started to feel extremely, extremely cold and extremely sea sick. The water is much too cold for a short-sleeved bodysuit. I felt sick with the sea motion. I finally was able to make it onboard and felt EXTREMELY unwell. AT NO TIME did the instructor show any concern or take any action to lessen my extreme shivering... I was shocked to have received NO assistance from him... Not a single towel over me; no concern, no nothing. I was literally on the floor of the boat shaking violently with no strength with NO ASSISTANCE... In fact, although I was in such a deplorable state he asked me to move over so the Spanish couple could get on board and the rest of the ride back to the port he was joking with the couple, laughing while I was suffering tremendously. I am still shocked at this lack of professionalism. My partner who has a skipper license and plenty of experience on the sea including with his yacht was outraged and feels this is absolutely negligent; that is basic seafaring 101: put your body over the person so your heat can compensate for your possible hypothermia. There were no vests on board; nothing. The price point simply doesn't match the experience and lack of equipment (and assistance) they provide. I was completely neglected by the person that was supposed to look out for me on the tour. Upon arriving at the port, it was actually the female tourist that offered to help me off the boat not the person paid to do their job! This whole trip was an outrageous demonstration of negligence and lack of professionalism and care and I am angry at how poorly I was treated. When I presented these facts to Ocean Friends they actually accused me of exaggerating my experience and of trying to get a freebie!... I have never been more outraged. It's simply unfathomable to not only not assist the customer but to add insult to injury to call them a liar and grifter... Then they started a HARRASSMENT CAMPAIGN AND THREATS of legal action against me if I put up a review telling my truth! Simply absolutely unprofessional. They then bombarded my e-mail with sign-up confirmation requests from all these porn sites... Unbelievable. I woke up to e-mails from PornHub, FapHouse and many, many more... It's simply unbelievable a company that you paid a service for would act in such a deranged manner...
