The trip is generally pretty fun, the crew is knowledgable, respectful and committed to giving a pleasant time to everyone (Silvador and Daniel ). Seeing whales is guaranteed and pleanty of free water and refreshments on board.

Wonderful riding-experience, with nice horses and nice, helpfull guides. Great to see a different side of gran canaria riding up the mountains.

On time, very friendly staff. We saw pilot whales up close and loved the wee swim, too.

They are the best. Not to expensive and the stuff is very helpful.

Perfect day with a very nice and informative guide
