Lovely cruise with whale watching - Everything went well. They send you a wa message with all the details of the cruise the day before, well organized. The boat is a sailboat but there is enough space for all the passengers. We had a lovely cruise and we saw pilot whales around our boat. Then we went near the coast for a nice swimming (masks are included). They offer also a snack (bocadillos) and beverages. We loved this experience, tenerife is fantastic in every time of the year.

Fantastic trip with amazing views - Fantastic trip and perfect for small groups. We were a group of 3 and were joined by a couple. The day was beautiful from beginning to end. Food and drinks provided too. The dolphin and whale watching was amazing and we were also lucky to spot a few turtles. The pilot was great and provided so much information about the history for the island. We finished the day off with a dip in the water near the cliffs before heading back. All 3 of us have not stopped talking about how beautiful it was. 10/10 trip

Very nice, relaxing excursion - We actually saw whales and also a few dolphins from a distance. The whales are 99% seen according to the captain :) the dolphins, on the other hand, are just very fast, therefore more difficult. We felt very comfortable - were only 4 people on the boat and was very pleasant! I would recommend to anyone if you want to see animals on the open sea!:) were not otherwise too many tourist boats around. Was also very well organized. Thank you!

Beautiful views of the... - Beautiful views of the coast while sailing to meet a playful family of whales that left everyone silent for minutes. Once in the open sea, the skipper showed us all the landmarks and explained the plan. Finally, we stopped for a swim at La Caletta de Adeje, which made the sandwiches all that more delicious, then headed back to a stunning golden lit view of the port. Thank you for the amazing experience and the memories you’ve created.

Non pushy and experienced. - Patricia was fantastic, we asked for a whale watching at short notice and Patricia rang around a few companies putting in the work to find one that was suitable and available for us. Great trip and highly recommend Tenerife 1st.

Disappointing! - Very disinterested captain, didn’t crack a smile. We saw pilot whales but only for a few minutes. No information about cetaceans at all. Food was described as buffet, it was a roll and crisps! Good point was only 7 passengers so that was a small bonus.

The tourist scam - The worst tourist scam I’ve ever seen. We pay for a three-hour walk to see dolphins and whales. You see whales after 30 minutes, you follow them for about ten minutes and once there are several and it becomes interesting the guide turns around and returns to the coast. At the rate we thought he had spotted others but in fact no he throws the ink in front of a beach, shuts off the engine and tells us that we can swim during the remaining 2 hours.... We didn’t come to swim otherwise we would have gone directly to the beach for free. Not to mention the unlimited drinks, we got two cans, and a six-inch sandwich. To avoid...
