Our sailing tour from Los Gigantes was unforgettable. The boat was cozy and clean, the staff were so informative, and we saw both common dolphins and a pod of pilot whales. I loved the peaceful, intimate vibe compared to bigger boats. Totally worth it for nature lovers!

The Viking Boat tour was fun from start to finish! The ship looked epic, and the crew really played the part. We saw dolphins jumping alongside us and even glimpsed a sperm whale. Great energy, perfect for families or groups. Felt like a mini adventure at sea!

We booked a private yacht tour for my partner's birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special. Just us, the captain, and the ocean. We saw dolphins up close, enjoyed snacks and cava, and had the freedom to relax or explore. A perfect luxury escape in Tenerife!

We joined a shared catamaran tour from Costa Adeje and it was such a relaxing experience! We spotted a group of bottlenose dolphins and even a pair of pilot whales. The crew was friendly, gave great info, and the drinks on board were a nice touch. Would absolutely recommend it!
