Reviewed on 2024-12-10: “Sunset trip - I can hugely recommend this trip, Picked up from our hotel, Laura welcomed us on board along with Andreas the Captain. We were offered drinks throughout the trip, Laura told us information on the whales that we saw, so much respect given to the whales by the captain (slowing down and waiting). There were about 15 people on board so not crowded, a lovely stop at the beach area for guests to swim and snorkel or just enjoy the tapas and drinks socialising with other guests. Dropped back at the hotel at the end. What an amazing experience, worth the expense!”

This tour is a fantastic way to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Tenerife with your family. The intimate setting and attentive service ensure a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all ages.
