Highlights
  • La Palma - Enjoy 2.5 hours of navigation and adventure near the coast of La Palma, meeting whales, dolphins, turtles, birds and other marine animals that want to share some time with us and let themselves be photographed.
    When it’s over, it will be an unforgettable experience. Having had the dolphins so close, or seeing a pod of pilot whales in the underwater vision, or listening to the blow of a whale in the distance and getting closer until it comes out again to breathe… Live it from beginning to end. Each time is different and magical. You will want to repeat.
    Dolphins, whales and other inhabitants of the sea are marine animals, whose home we visit. Although we try to ensure that you enjoy sightings on all our outings, they are sovereign and decide whether or not they want to meet us.
    At the end of the route we will approach half a mile from the lava flows of the Cumbre Vieja volcano to explain some of the details and anecdotes that this natural phenomenon has left us.

Out of 10. We saw dolphins and calderones - Great. Very attentive staff always giving explanations with great interest. We loved seeing the cliffs, the PorĂ­s de Candelaria, the Veta beach and entering the beautiful cave. Unforgettable. But the best thing was to see the dolphins, flying fish and a family of calderones. Out of 10.

Great experience with dolphins - Really only compliments They looked after us so well and gave really inspired explanations about what we saw, the volcano eruption etc There were no dolphins to be seen so they kept looking even though we were already over our time With luck! We came across them and were able to enjoy the beautiful dolphins Thank you for a great day! Henriette and Gerth

Great adventure - It was an incredible adventure with an exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable crew! We had the opportunity to witness whales, various fish, the untamed sea, cliffs, as well as coves and unique beaches. We explored the new volcano and what it did to the island and spent a truly extended time on the journey. The crew provided us with beverages and a wealth of fascinating information. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat – the crew did an outstanding job.

Do not miss it!!! - Very pleasant excursion. Very attentive staff with the public and with their explanations. They made an effort so that we could see dolphins that were a bit hidden that day and we finally saw them

Dolphins finally - Finally the wife and kids got to see dolphins in the wild to larger family pods came to join us. Tried in Egypt and UK to no avail. 2 little words of caution. Bring tissues or baby wipes theres a toilet but on our trip no toilet roll might have been a one off.... With kids we where prepared and able to help a poor sole out. Also on the very front bench you may get a tad wet if the wind picks up, but as long as you don't expect a boat trip to be completely dry, it is the best spot to see the dolphins.

A lost morning and a lot of money thrown away. - The biggest scam I remember, usually these tours are already loose anywhere, but this excursion is a shame. I make a brief summary so that before choosing whether or not to perform it, interested persons can judge it properly: 1. The beautiful cave you see 30 seconds, enter, stop and exit in reverse. Besides, you don’t see anything because the time to enjoy it is at sunset something they know more than enough but it takes you a moment to say that they teach you. 2.In Poris more of the same, you see it from afar less than a minute, in fact here the boat does not stop. 3. On the beach of Veta repeats operation, they bring you a little closer, the boat does not stop and you leave, even though they promise a stop for the bath, as we were told in the information booth in the port, you take the disappointment that there is no stop or bath, regrettable. 4. 2 hours of cetacean watching in which nothing is seen, but nothing more than people dizzy and vomiting from the foolish driving of the boat. To that we must add that the interaction of the ship’s personnel is minimal, neither a cultural explanation nor a comment, in short an absolute joke, to be clear. The best thing about the tour is that it ends, you get off the boat and you can start forgetting the experience. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE, A LOST MORNING OF OUR VACATION AND A SPEND OF MONEY THAT CAN WELL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IN THINGS THAT ARE WORTH THE PALM.

Not recommended - Poor - overcrowded very shabby boat with staff that is not attentive. Very disappointed and do not recommend especially not for the price… very poor and the operator should be ashamed of themselves for what they offer.
