Mount Teide
Tenerife offers one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe because the island was shaped by volcanic activity over millions of years. During the safari, guests can often enjoy spectacular views that combine the Atlantic Ocean with towering volcanic landscapes dominated by Mount Teide. * Massive volcanic cliffs rising directly from the ocean * Black lava rock formations created by ancient eruptions * Clear panoramic views of Mount Teide, Spainās highest peak Mount Teide stands at 3,715 meters above sea level and dominates Tenerifeās skyline. Because the mountain rises from the Atlantic Ocean floor, its total height is far greater than what visitors see above sea level. On clear days, Teide creates an incredible backdrop for whale and dolphin sightings Cruise along Tenerifeās spectacular volcanic coastline with breathtaking views of Mount Teide a unique landscape where wild ocean life meets one of the worldās most impressive volcanic islands.ā

5.00Wow, what an incredible trip!! We were going on a boat trip elsewhere but taxi driver took us to the wrong port so we missed it, I did inform them so they weren't waiting! We decided to book this to cheer us up and well, all I can say is, things happen for a reason! This trip was incredible, we saw pilot whales and dolphins š„¹š The whole crew were fantastic and informative. Also we got a wine each and chocolate snack onboard and it was just ā¬9! Would recommend to everyone and anyone!

5.00We saw whales, dolphins, and even a turtle. In general, the experience was pleasant, but be sure to take chewing gum, because of seasickness
Great trip,

5.00Great trip on a good sized boat (not too big and not too small) with plenty of space to move around. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Went for this as it was roughly 2 hours long and thought better for the children, but in hindsight maybe a longer 3-4 hour trip would have been better in order to see more wildlife. We still saw pilot whales, dolphins and sea turtles but felt like we were heading back just when it started to get really interesting. This was still a really good trip for the family though and I would recommend it.
Great company, amazing value, we saw lots of pilot whales!

5.00Really great experience, great value. Saw lots of pilot whales very close by and some bottlenose dolphins further away. Son (5) and Daughter (8) were in awe of the animals. The 12.30 sailing was half as busy as the 2.30 one looked as we returned. Loo and drinks (soft, beer and sangria) sold onboard for less than 3 euro each. Take snacks if you have small kids. Can sit in full sun on deck or downstairs in shade with windows open to view. Very friendly staff. Loved that the focus was on understanding the marine life and not hassling it. It's worth noting that it's a smaller boat so made me feel a bit queasy, they have bags available if you were to need them (I didn't but it was nice to know they were close). Would deffo recommend this tour.
Magical moment, but the company does not speak French, contrary to what was announced.

3.00Great experience because we saw dolphins. It was a magical moment. However, I was a bit disappointed with the company: I chose this company because they spoke French, and in fact, not even half of it is translated into French. Additionally, we ended up with a very loud and rude school group, which somewhat spoiled the moment. It would have been appreciated if someone had intervened.

5.00We could see whales and dolphins. The tour was really great, the animals could be observed from near and far and for animal welfare we did not bother them for extremely long. I would choose the tour at 10:30. Sun/heat and animal probability are highest here. We'll be back!
The best Tour I have been on

5.00A really, really respectful and informative tour. We saw dolphins and whales, got to know a lot information about them. And I could see that people operating the tour have a lot of love for the ocean and animals. So thank you for everything.
