unfortunately no turtles but the boat trip was really good and we saw lots of fish! the wetsuits provided weren’t great, they were very thin and didn’t fit well so we did get pretty chilly and couldn’t stay in the water for as long as we would’ve liked. overall though it was a fun trip and we saw an area of tenerife which wouldn’t have been accessible without the boat

Everything was just as promissed , the boat was clean and the captain , Dani was very polite and friendly , he gave us a lot of information about the animals and Tenerife as well.

Captain on boat was wonderful. He was so determined to find us whales to see he didn’t stop looking until he find them. My 8 year old son was truly amazed

Fabulous trip, so relaxing and lucky to see a lovely young family of whales..

Relaxed friendly boat trip. Saw whales and dolphins. Staff very helpful
