Whale worth doing!!! - We had our boat trip out to see the Pilot whales this afternoon with the boat operator ‘Ocean Blue’ who we booked up through Vicki Farquharson.
Wow, what a lovely way to spend 3 hours. The boat is a lovely size, very stable in the water, and there were just 13 persons on board, including the crew of two, who were both very friendly and informative, explaining about the whales, their habitat, and also the volcanic geology of the surrounding islands and the ocean floor, which was fascinating to listen to.
Due to the low numbers on board the boat, the experience was a very personal one, and this really was something of a bonus!
Within 30 minutes of leaving port, the crew had located a lone male Pilot whale for us, he was apparently sleeping on the surface, probably resting after feeding his family.
The boat came to within a few metres of the whale, the skipper switched off the engines, and allowed the boat to drift silently along with the whale for a few minutes while we watched and took photos. As the whale drifted away, the skipper started up the engines again and set off in search of more whales.
Within 10 minutes we were again sitting in silence with the engines switched off looking at a family of Pilot whales, including at least two calves. Absolutely fascinating to see!
Once we had drifted away from the whales again, the engines were fired back up and we headed back towards the coastline and moored up in ‘Playa De Los Moteros’ which is a lovely bay, where we could view the historic lava flows, and swim from the boat using snorkel equipment supplied from the boat. There were lots of fish to see swimming around there with us too!
After our swim, we climbed back aboard and had lunch, supplied by the crew, which was a nice cheese and ham salad crusty roll, with a choice of a canned drink. After lunch we set off along the coastline, with a guided tour of the sights and landmarks on our way back to port.
If you’re looking for a brilliant boat trip, I would highly recommend this one, Ocean Blue!👌👍🐳

The Ocean Blue Tenerife is an excellent choice! - We were looking for a boat trip to spot dolphins. There are plenty of boats to be found, but most of them are very full of people. The Ocean Blue Tenerife is an excellent choice if you want to be on a boat with a small group (max 10). There were 6 of us and 2 other people. We received a good explanation about the dolphins and the place where they live. We were able to see them up close. We ate and drank and swam in a bay. It was a Beautiful day!

Whale watching, Tenerife - Fantastic from start to finish. I was dubious about going because out of the 4 of us I can't swim so thought I'd get seasick. How wrong was I! My partner got the sealegs but felt better after the swim in the ocean as recommended by the captain. We saw pilot whales in their natural habitat and took everyone breath away. There was no more than 12 people aboard. We anchored down in a small cove for roughly 1/2 hour for sandwiches, beers & a swim. Fed the fish (and the birds hahaha) honestly had the best time. Highlight of my trip!! Thoroughly recommend this company. With top thanks to Captain Alex xx

Super fun trip! - Super nice trip...small group and lots of attention to guests.
They almost always guarantee to spot whales, in our case they did.
Nice sandwich and 2 cans of beer during the swimming break.
Meets our expectations.
Nice crew!

Average better to look around for bigger boat or cheaper experience - Good experience but was sold a lot more than we got. We was told it was an all inclusive food & drink experience & that it was 3 hours long. We got on the boat and wasn’t even told how the day would go or the charters name. We had to ask for our first drink 20 minutes in, which the man seemed annoyed at us for even asking but then finally he got us them. We then stopped to view whales which was incredible & amazing to see and the only decent part of the trip! He then took us to the shallower water for us to jump in, which he had to ask for snorkel equipment? Which we was told part of the trip. When getting out of the water he got out a basket of tin foiled sandwiches which were okay but that and a few crisps was all that was offered. No more drinks were offered despite being told it’s all inclusive. Overall average experience but not worth the money & a very small boat for 12 people.

Poor trip - choose another trip - Do not choose this boat trip.
The staff and the captain seemed very unprofessional. The day we had booked a trip, there was quite a strong wind, which the staff also made us aware of. They ended up sailing out anyway to a great regret. It winded tremendously and all the passengers were soaked by all the water that came into the boat. We all froze and it was by no means a very good experience.
They should have canceled the trip due to the weather but they chose to leave anyway. We also did not see any whales due to the weather conditions.
Can't be recommended.
