excellent - Very informative and excellent guides. We are avid whale watchers and have been on 5 trips in the Canaries and these guys were the best by a far. Thanks for a great morning out, advice to others go on the early time slot.

To marvel at the beauty of marine animals - A very special experience!!! The tour is more than recommended and also special because you go to the whales in a small boat with a great guide (Misael) and - if the whales approach themselves - you get very close to them. Unlike with other providers, you spend almost 1.5 hours at sea with the whales and, with the engine turned off and the sea calm, you can even hear the animals communicating and watch them for a long time. Simply great!!. Thank you very much. PS: You also learn a lot of interesting things and can even meet sea turtles. A very special experience!!!

Incredible experience - Me and my girlfriend came away from the experience constantly talking about it over lunch, we loved such a close encounter with the pilot whales and didn’t expect the whales to actually approach near us! Misael and his two interns were so welcoming and informative- you can really see the passion Misael demonstrates and he really went the extra mile and was happy to answer any question and I just love what the whole task of this organisation is trying to achieve- even stopping the boat to collect harmful waste was a real moment and we felt like we were really part of something here. Thanks again guys, will be back again! Ben and Hannah

Great, educational trip. - Simply great! The tour was informative. We saw pilot whales and dolphins and learned something while disturbing them as little as possible. Despite this, they came quite close to the boat on their own. The boat ride was also a lot of fun.

A Whaley good trip! : ) - Excellent trip and lovely guides. Very informative with a small group of 10 that made the trip intimate. I would highly recommend this excursion. It felt nice to give money to a good cause rather than merely spend it on tourism.

Whale watching respecting the nature - Highly recommended whale watching tour. The boat is small and the experience is much better than in bigger boats. Respecting the nature is emphasized by the organizers. It may be difficult to find parking place in the town, make sure you have enough time for it.

Best ever experience - We booked a whale watching trip and it was one of the greatest experience of my life . Our guide , Misa ,was really good at explaining the behaviour of whales and dolphins . The small group to have a more direct experience is a very good thing... We were lucky to have seen so many whales

Most respectful and awesome Whale Watching and Marine Science Tour - It was the most amazing Whale Watching Tour I have ever done (did one in New Zealand too). You gain a lot of Marine Science knowledge on the tour. The Tour operator absolutely respects the Whales and Dolphins and makes sure, they are not bothered by our presence. In my opinion, this is the way how tours like this should be done. The tour is around 2,5h and you go in a small boat in groups of around ten people to watch out for Dolphins and Whales. Once animals are sighted, the engines are stopped and the boat just floats on the ocean, while you watch the Whales and Dolphins. The Tourguides, which are also Marine Scientists, explain what is going on in the sea and what the animals (whales and dolphins) are doing. They make sure to not go to near to the animals in order not to stress them. Furthermore, they let us listen to what kind of sounds are in the sea. And it is really noisy down there. It was a real pleasure to join this tour and I would do so again. Thank you for the good work and continue to do so! It was the highlight of my trip!

Beautiful and recommendable tour - We went on the Biosean whale watching tour in September and it was a wonderful experience and so far our best whale watching tour, where we saw a group of pilot whales up close! What was very important to me personally when choosing the tour: The animals were always treated with respect. They were not hunted, distance was kept at all times and the engine was sometimes turned off. In addition, while many whale watching tours drive past rubbish, the team collected the rubbish. The absolute highlight of the tour was that the animals came to us of their own accord and even had a small calf with them. Hearing the whales communicate via the hydrophone was also fascinating. What you could also hear (unfortunately) was the massive underwater noise of the large tankers, which were barely visible but very easy to hear and of course also affected the whales. If we ever come back to Tenerife, we would always choose Biosean and can only recommend it to everyone. Animal welfare comes first here.

A must do when in Tenerife! - This year was my second trip with Biosean and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time! Best whale watching tour I did so far as one gets a lot of information about the animals and their behavior. They respect the animals and keep enough distance. Fortunately the animals decided to come closer & we even saw a pilot whale calf of about 3 weeks. Such a beautiful and sustainable trip! Hearing the ticks and whistles of the pilot whales with the help of the hydrophone was the absolute highlight! Thank you once again for an awesome and educational experience! One can see the love you have for the ocean and its inhabitants!
