A really enjoyable day with an excellent guide right from the start to the end of the day. She provided lots of interesting information in her commentary in four languages. Good stops to admire the views and a very nice lunch in the National Park (one of the best we have had on a Canary Islands excursion). One of our party is a vegetarian and has a gluten intolerance the guide ensured that her requirements were catered for.

We went on the 27/2, we saw dolphins and several groups of pilot whales, some with babies. The guides explained everything during the trip and warned about the location of the animals. There was even a break for diving. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere, with music during the trip. It was a great experience.

The tour was amazing! Not overcrowded and you could see whales and dolphins ❤️ I love the idea of “no chase”, these animals are so curious that they are coming so close to the boat and I was so happy to see them free in their own environment where they belong :) highly recommend!

The instructor we had was so patient and kind, even giving me his jet ski cause it was easier to ride. Videos and photos were taken for us and were only €15 for all of them. It was an amazing experience thank you so much!

Everything was very good. Staff were amazing speaking multiple languages. Definitely recommend
