Fuimos tres amigas y nos encantó la experiencia. Al ser poquitas personas se disfruta muchísimo más. Además, te dan bocadillo y bebida, y pudimos darnos un chapuzón. Lo que más nos gustó fue el enorme respeto del capitán Raúl hacia los cetáceos. ¡Súper recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

Three friends and I went, and we loved the experience. Being in a small group made it so much more enjoyable. Plus, they give you a snack and a drink, and we even got to take a dip. What we liked most was Captain Raúl's immense respect for the whales and dolphins. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha sido realmente excepcional! Carlos y Johny han sido unos anfitriones maravillosos. Hemos visto delfines, hemos visto ballenas, y hemos disfrutado muchísimo! A demás hemos aprendido un montón sobre la vida marina. Sin duda merece la pena. Gracias por todo… Translate this opinion into English.

It was truly exceptional! Carlos and Johny were wonderful hosts. We saw dolphins, we saw whales, and we enjoyed it immensely! We also learned a lot about marine life. It's definitely worth it. Thank you for everything… Opinion translated. Show original.

Un paseo en velero genial, el patrón super! Nos gustó mucho la excursión, y tienes tiempo de descansar en el velero, darte un baño y tomar un snack. Lo que no me gustó nada es el punto de encuentro, muy mal señalizado y estando tiempo antes nadie vino a buscarnos, tuve que empezar a preguntar hasta que di con el patrón. Llame varias veces al teléfono de contacto que hay en el bono y me colgaban! Eso hay que mejorarlo. Translate this opinion into English.

A great sailboat trip, the skipper was superb! We really enjoyed the excursion, and you have time to relax on the sailboat, go for a swim, and have a snack. What I didn't like at all was the meeting point; it was poorly signposted, and since we were there a while beforehand, no one came to pick us up. I had to ask around until I found the skipper. I called the contact number on the voucher several times and they hung up on me! That needs to be improved. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nacho, notre accompagnateur et navigateur été formidable tout au long de la sortie en voilier. Nous avons passé un superbe moment à voir les baleines pilotes tout en discutant de l’île et de tout ce qu’elle réserve ! Je recommande vivement cette expérience ! Translate this opinion into English.

Nacho, our guide and navigator, was fantastic throughout the entire sailing trip. We had a wonderful time seeing the pilot whales while chatting about the island and everything it has to offer! I highly recommend this experience! Opinion translated. Show original.

Volvería otro año sin dudarlo. De 10!! El barco, la experiencia en sí, y sobre todo, la tripulación. Muchas gracias a Slava y Yanira, los tripulantes que tuvimos, por ser tan profesionales. Muy atentos, respetuosos con el medio y amables en el trato directo. Hicieron que pasara un día inolvidable para el resto de la vida. Translate this opinion into English.

I would definitely come back another year. 10/10!! The boat, the experience itself, and above all, the crew. Many thanks to Slava and Yanira, the crew we had, for being so professional. Very attentive, respectful of the environment, and kind in their personal dealings. They made it an unforgettable day for the rest of my life. Opinion translated. Show original.

Raúl es un patrón excelente, y estuvo muy atento en todo momento con todo el mundo..sin duda ir en velero fue una decisión muy acerada porque el número de personas es reducido y la experiencia es mejor, además vimos un montón de calderones... Totalmente recomendable y si tenéis la suerte de que os toca Raúl, mucho mejor Translate this opinion into English.

Raúl is an excellent skipper, and he was very attentive at all times with everyone...without a doubt, going on a sailboat was a very good decision because the number of people is small and the experience is better, plus we saw a lot of pilot whales... Totally recommended and if you are lucky enough to have Raúl, even better. Opinion translated. Show original.

belle ballade en voilier avec tout petit groupe (comme prévu) ce qui la rend encore plus qualitative. bon accueil sur le quai et capitaine très sympa et serviable, à l'écoute. avons pu voir plusieurs cetacees globicephales et leurs BB. boissons et sandwiches, baignade. seul point de vigilance, le parking et l'accès au niveau du quai: bien anticiper l'arrivée Translate this opinion into English.

beautiful sailboat trip with a very small group (as planned) which makes it even more qualitative. good reception on the quay and very friendly and helpful captain, attentive. we were able to see several pilot whales and their babies. drinks and sandwiches, swimming. only point of vigilance, the parking and access at the quay level: anticipate the arrival well Opinion translated.

La actividad ha sido impresionante. El capitán Raúl nos ha explicado todo de maravilla, aportando datos curiosos e interesantes, y ha sido muy amable en todo momento. Hemos visto un gran número de calderones tropicales y durante bastante tiempo y, lo más importante, de manera respetuosa tratando de no molestarles. Recomiendo esta experiencia al 100% Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was amazing. Captain Raul explained everything wonderfully, providing interesting and curious information, and was very kind at all times. We saw a large number of pilot whales for quite a long time and, most importantly, in a respectful manner, trying not to disturb them. I recommend this experience 100% Opinion translated.

It was just a fantastic trip. We booked spontaneously and everything was perfectly organised. We had beautiful weather; after one hour of cruising out into the ocean on the big modern catamaran the whales appeared we were blessed with more than 30 mins of whale watching. After this unique experience we were served drinks& sandwiches. We went on to set anchor in a nice&peaceful bay where we were offered to take a refreshing dip in the sea before returning back. I Totally Recommend this tour

Reservé esta actividad porque el paseo era en velero, que sería más íntimo porque era hasta 11 personas. Días antes pregunté a través de civitatis para que me explicaran más detalles, pero no supieron indicarme ya que no se pusieron en contacto con el guía. Mi sorpresa ese día fue que nos juntaron de varias reservas a todos en un catamarán, vendiéndonos que era mejor barco y la comida era mejor (tortilla precocinada y unos sandwich). Si lo sé cojo un catamarán por 30€ desde el principio.

I booked this activity because the ride was on a sailboat, which would be more intimate because it was up to 11 people. Days before I asked through civitatis to explain more details to me, but they couldn't tell me since they didn't contact the guide. My surprise that day was that they put us all together from several reservations on a catamaran, selling us that it was a better boat and the food was better (pre-cooked omelette and some sandwiches). If I know, I'll take a catamaran for €30 from the beginning.

Hemos confirmado que se os pasó a una embarcación más cómodo, con máximo 12 personas abordo. No obstante, no hay diferencia de precio entre ambos. El cambio se produjo porque no se llegó al mínimo de personas para ir en velero. En cuanto a la comida, a parte de las bebidas y los sándwiches que se ofrece, hay otros tipos de tapas y fruta. Translate this opinion into English.

We have confirmed that you were transferred to a more comfortable boat, with a maximum of 12 people on board. However, there is no price difference between the two. The change occurred because the minimum number of people to go on a sailboat was not reached. As for food, apart from the drinks and sandwiches offered, there are other types of tapas and fruit.

Maravilloso tour. Cogimos la opción del velero y tuvimos la suerte de estar las 2 solas y aún y así nos lo hicieron igual. Pudimos ver las ballenas y disfrutar de un magnífico recorrido. Equipo muy simpáticos y profesionales. En especial Raul que fue nuestro capitán. Nos dió mucha información muy útil y aprendimos muchas cosas. Muy profesional y vocacional, se nota que le gusta su trabajo y lo transmite. Gracias Raul por la experiencia. 100% recomendable. Volveremos!! Tatiana y Carla Translate this opinion into English.

Wonderful tour. We took the sailboat option and we were lucky to be alone and they still did it to us the same way. We were able to see the whales and enjoy a magnificent tour. Very friendly and professional team. Especially Raul who was our captain. He gave us a lot of very useful information and we learned a lot of things. Very professional and vocational, it is clear that he likes his work and transmits it. Thank you Raul for the experience. 100% recommendable. We will be back!! Tatiana and Carla Opinion translated.

Excelente trato de la chica que nos recibió en el muelle, del capitán, Raúl, y del marinero Ismael. Atentos toda la travesía a los clientes. Hay catamaranes y barcos más baratos, pero que va un montón de gente. Aquí éramos 8, de un máximo de 11 posibles, un tour seminario privado podemos llamarlo. Vimos un par de grupos de ballenas. Me hubiera gustado hacer la travesía a vela en lugar de a motor, el capitán lo intentó, pero las condiciones, de poco viento, no lo permitieron. Una bonita experi Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent treatment from the girl who received us at the pier, from the captain, Raúl, and from the sailor Ismael. Attentive all the way to customers. There are cheaper catamarans and boats, but a lot of people go there. Here we were 8, out of a maximum of 11 possible, a private seminar tour we can call it. We did see a couple of groups of whales. I would have liked to sail instead of motorized, the captain tried, but the conditions, with little wind, did not allow it. A nice experience Opinion translated. Show original.

Hice la excursión con niños y se lo pasaron muy bien, la experiencia fue muy buena, el capitán del barco Conrado estuvo muy simpatico y atento y nos estuvo explicando y contando cosas muy interesantes sobre los animales que vimos, no le doy un excelente porque el aperitivo-snack que preparan me parece un poco escaso para lo que cuesta el pasaje por persona, por lo demás, el barco se veía limpio y el personal muy amable. Translate this opinion into English.

I did the excursion with children and they had a great time, the experience was very good, the captain of the boat Conrado was very nice and attentive and he was explaining and telling us very interesting things about the animals we saw, I do not give him an excellent rating because the The appetizer-snack that they prepare seems a bit scarce to me for what the ticket costs per person, otherwise, the boat looked clean and the staff was very friendly.

Esperienza unica! Consiglio vivamente. Il personale è stato molto gentile e professionale, offrendoci anche da mangiare e da bere. Abbiamo visto tartarughe marine e tantissimi cetacei e ci hanno portati a fare il bagno in una spiaggia raggiungibile solo in barca ed è stato meraviglioso. Grazie Translate this opinion into English.

A mi novio y a mi nos ha encantado la experiencia. Ángel e Ismael profesionales y muy amables, en todo momento pendientes de nosotros y que estuviéramos cómodos y bien servidos de comida y bebida . Tuvimos la suerte de avistar cetáceos y de seguirlos durante un buen rato, siempre respetandolos y no acercándonos demasiado para que no se alterasen. Paramos el barco pero no pudimos hacer snorkel porq el agua estaba helada y no se veía bien el fondo. La comida , unos sándwiches y bebida . Gracias Translate this opinion into English.

My boyfriend and I have loved the experience. Ángel and Ismael are professional and very friendly, at all times looking out for us and ensuring that we are comfortable and well served with food and drinks. We were lucky enough to spot cetaceans and to follow them for a long time, always respecting them and not getting too close so they wouldn't get upset. We stopped the boat but we couldn't snorkel because the water was freezing and the bottom couldn't be seen well. The food, some sandwiches and drinks. Thank you Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia inolvidable con Conrado y Cristo como capitanes de la tripulación. Trato familiar y cercano. Respetan y protegen la naturaleza, mantienen distancia con los animales marinos. Explicación de medidas de seguridad correctas. Avistamiento de ballenas, y tortugas marinas en su hábitat. Y sobre todo nos hicieron pasar un rato muy divertido y nos reímos mucho durante todo el viaje. Gracias por esta experiencia. Repetiremos si volvemos a Tenerife. Translate this opinion into English.

¡Una experiencia increíble! Hemos visto una gran cantidad de calderones tropicales (la especie de ballena que frecuenta esta zona) y delfines moteados. Además, la tripulación, tanto Conra como Robi, ha sido genial, dando explicaciones en todo momento y con un trato muy cercano. Destacar que solo van 11 personas en el velero, mucho mejor que los barcos y catamaranes abarrotados. Para terminar nos hemos dado un baño y nos han ofrecido comida y bebida en todo momento. ¡Sin duda repetiría! Translate this opinion into English.

An incredible experience! We have seen a large number of pilot whales (the species of whale that frequents this area) and spotted dolphins. In addition, the crew, both Conra and Robi, have been great, giving explanations at all times and with a very close treatment. Note that there are only 11 people on the sailboat, much better than crowded boats and catamarans. To finish we have taken a bath and they have offered us food and drink at all times. I would definitely repeat! Opinion translated. Show original.
