Additional Information

The expedition commences with you stepping onto a superior and comfortable boat at the Playa de San Juan harbor. Subsequently, we venture towards a unique preservation zone, ‘Whale Sanctuary’. This marks the initiation of our quest for whales, dolphins, and the diverse aquatic life of Tenerife, such as turtles, flying fish, among others. Our journey then continues towards the Giants’ Cliffs, characterized by upright rocky elevations dropping onto the ocean from an estimate of 600 meters. We get to unwind with a swim or snorkel in Masca’s bay, followed by a meal engagement featuring typical, fresh produce of the day, along with beverages and fruits. The tour culminates with a trip along the coast, providing a glimpse of the coastal volcanic formations and unveiling stunning, magical spots of Tenerife island.

Spectacular experience - I highly recommend it, the experience was a 10/10 the super nice walk we did not see dolphins or turtles, but if we saw whales, we also saw them nearby and for quite some time. Then we were in a cove swimming, the capi of the majisimo boat above made us snacks of local products that we do not expect or is great!

WOW! - It has been one of the most fun, interesting and educational experiences I have ever been. Javi took the whole family to see the dolphins and whales but the most interesting thing that they respect the animals a LOT because they turn off the engines of the boat and the music so that it does not affect them. It is an amazing and super respectful experience with the Canary Islands ocean. Do not hesitate if you want to have a fun and refreshing time with everyone. Suitable for all people (even those who dizzy)

Unique experience - I have not seen more dolphins in my life, we are Canaries and yet, Javi and his team is an experience that transcends the touristic, being not only respectful of space and animals, but also giving a contextual explanation and a formidable experience even for locals. We'll repeat for sure!

Excursion on a human scale to meet cetaceans - Very nice excursion. There were 7 of us on the boat, which was conducive to discussion. The guide was passionate, attentive to everyone's satisfaction and well-being. We saw Pilot Whales as a family up close (young on one side and parents in the hunting phase - unique moment) and bottlenose dolphins. The information provided is varied (interesting geology section on the lava flows constituting the cliffs of Los Gigantes, of course on the population of the marine fauna of the Canaries as well as its habits, including nice anecdotes on squid, and also some aspects interesting histories of the economic development of Tenerife since the 19th century). We returned delighted, and ready to leave. Long live ecology.
