Had to wait a little longer to be picked up from the hotel, but was informed in good time that there was a 10-minute delay. The trip went flawlessly and we were able to enjoy it quite a bit. During the trip we were provided with drinks, fruit and blankets. It took about 30 minutes to get to the inspection site. There we saw the pilot whales. The tour guides informed us very well about the whales and also the history of Los Gigantes, Mount Teide etc. and were very friendly and took care of all our needs. Then we go snorkeling, although the water was very cold (about 20° in January) we still liked it. After snorkeling there was a hot hose to wash off and a small sandwich and cake (since my girlfriend and another guest happened to be celebrating their birthdays). It then goes to the end and disembarked at port again. We enjoyed ourselves very much and is highly recommended!

I would like to say a massive thank you for the company, especially the lady who phoned us because we wasn't in the bus stop, so long story short, we mixed up the days and we thought was next day the trip. But they very helpful and gave us the opportunity to meet the bus at the next stop. We made it Back to the trip! It was very experienced driver called Jorge and the guide, Antonio ( called himself Antonio Banderas), was very funny . The places was amazing, enough time to make "Instagram" photos Highly recommending this trip. Wasn't expensive at all for 2 of us and mainly we drove through the centre of Tenerife and down on the west-south side of the island and the guide gave us loads of very useful information about the island.

Brilliant trip - started off with coffee and cake in Vilaflor, then we stopped at several viewpoints whilst travelling up to Teide. We had Cava and mulled wine whilst watching the sunset then onto seeing the stars.

Absolutely amazing experience, got to see lots of wildlife. A must for a more relaxed day or recommend after doing any of the watersports activities on the coast like we did.

We had a wonderful boat trip and had a memorable encounter with playful dolphins that swam right next to the boat. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable ❤️
