    Amazing day trip
    Perfect! From the moment we got on the boat Laura was so welcoming and lovely. She kept our drinks topped up and had a laugh with everyone on the boat. We saw so many pilot whales it was amazing. Food was great. We went on the 4 pm (November) cruise was really nice coming back seeing the coast line lit up! The whole thing was great but Laura made it exceptional!! Couldn’t recommend this company enough

    For Whale spotting....just do it!!!
    This cruise was amazing. We got to see a pod of whales which was superb. The staff were brilliant making sure that we had plenty to drink and continuously offered us refreshments. There was plenty of space on the boat so it really was a small group rather than some of the other boats that were packed with people.

    Fantastic Sunset Adventure
    Fantastic Sunset Adventure with the team. From being picked up to being dropped off - the whole team were amazing. The boat was lovely & clean - crew fantastic - knowledgeable & helpful - and the fact we saw whales & dolphins was just stunning. There was plenty to drink & the tapas supper was tasty! There is as the option to have a swim but the sun was setting & felt it might be cold on the way back. The journey back was a lovely trip along the coast & a chance to view the lit up coastline. Honestly the whole trip was 3 hours & just flew by - an absolute recommend. Thank you to the crew that made it so fantastic. We booked through Get Your Guide app & booked the sunset trip for 3 hours.

    What an absolutely brilliant trip
    What an absolutely brilliant trip - everything from the timely collection from our hotel to the drop-off once our experience was completed was perfect. A truly fabulous afternoon/evening trip out. All the staff/crew were really friendly, the boat was in great condition and not overloaded, both drinks and food were plentiful and nothing was too much trouble. We saw loads of pilot whales but sadly dolphins were a little more elusive however it did not spoil what was a fabulous trip. Excellent value for money - I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting some time at sea and to see the island from a different view point. 5 out of 5 - and I am difficult to please!

    Wonderful Experience from a brilliant crew
    We had a wonderful experience on the catamaran. One of the benefits of a small group was no overcrowding and a more personal touch from the wonderful crew. The weather was not on our side the morning of the sail but that didn’t stop us from seeing several groups of pilot whales. It was such a fantastic trip and made extra special for my wife & daughter who share the same birthday, the team provided some cake & candles which went down very well with the other guests on the trip along with the cava! I’d totally recommend this trip if you want to avoid the overcrowded alternatives, brilliant crew and very worthwhile.

    Best whale and dolphin watching
    Absolutely amazing day. We were very well looked after and we'll fed with tapas and unlimited drinks. We saw dolphins and pilot whales. And a fleeting glimpse of a turtle before it descended below the surface. Staff very nice and helpful. Can't recommend this trip enough.

    A wonderful trip
    This trip Was amazing the crew was lovely making sure we had drinks and was comfortable also giving lots of information on the whales and dolphins we saw. The whale was so close it couldn’t have been any nearer such a lovely sight. We went on the 10am time which was perfect for us. Food was a bit samey but a nice little nibble all the same highly recommend we would have gone again the same afternoon we loved it that much

    👍👍 From Start to Finish
    An amazing experience from start to finish. Daniela and the crew were extremely hospitable and knowledgable. The boat was clean and spacious. The captain was able to locate quite a few whales and dolphins for us to witness close-up, while stil respecting the animals in their natural habitat. Drinks, food and snacks were in abundan as well as the smiles on board. Overall the trip exceeded our expectations and was truly a highlight for our family trip in Tenerife!!! Thanks again to the crew for an amazing experience.

After reading reviews beforehand I would have thought this would have been much better. Although we did see the whales briefly there was nothing much else to see and We were given next to nothing from the crew in terms of background information regarding the Whales themselves. More annoying was the fact that we could have paid much less booking with other operators over there rather than booking before our trip through trip advisor. The Lunch we were given was very nice but given that we were on the Lunchtime trip I regarded it as more of a snack and was left wanting more.

The pickup with a minibus was very comfortable. They even called us before and told us where and when we are going to be picked up (right in front of the hotel). The Organisation was good and we even started the tour 20 min. early. We were told that we would see wales and there is a 50/50% chance to also see dolphins. We saw both and even a seaturtle. The young guide spoke englisch really well, was were friendly, courteous and especially competent relating to the boat, the animals, the sea area we were in and all the other questions we had. He is a great guy and a special thanks goes out to him for making this tour so great. The spot were we could snorkle was also very nice and the food was also delicious. The only critic we have, is that the food could have been a little bit more and we would have liked to stay at the snorkeling spot a little bit longer. Overall great experience and we definitely recommended this tour for everyone that is interested in seeing some real maritime wildlife or just wants a nice boat trip.

Excellent experience, great boat, great team, nothing to much trouble just ask and they will help very friendly, saw pilot whales right next to boat with babies.. Crew making sure not to disturb them, views of coast from sea worth it itself, had swimming time in beautiful bay and food and drink... Excellent time. Highly recommend this boat as also have shade area to rear of boat if needed.
Great value for money.

We booked this very late in the day having driven from the north of the island and unfamiliar with any of the pick up addresses.
Right from first contact the company couldn’t have been more helpful arranging a pick up. The crew were super polite attentive and knowledgeable and we got real lucky on our trip seeing many dolphins, tuna and whales. Food and drink (copious, for those that do) was provided, a stop made for swimming in a calm bay and a deliriously beautiful sunset to end the trip, everything we hoped for and more.
The trip may not have been the cheapest available and unlike some they do not offer a no see money back guarantee (though I’m not sure how that latter would work in practice, think it would be hard not to see anything at all but seeing up close for glorious photos as this trip allowed may not be that common). Strong Recommend.

Brilliant service from picking us up to dropping us off back at the Hotel. Our driver the captain and the sailor were the nicest guys and the went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. They knew what they were doing as we saw whales and dolfins on a few occasion. The tapas served in the bay on the way back was really good. Didnt expect service like we got, the reviews we read were good but didnt expect it to be that good. Well worth the price especially when you see other boats rammed with people. Would love to go again. Thanks guys

We booked our trip for a Tuesday but for some reason of the weather they changed their harbour and they let us know too late. Fair play to the guy he offered me to refund my money and let on the day he offered us for a free trip the next day, because it was their fault and he felt very bad about it.
With the tour we was very pleased we seen a few whales unfortunately no dolphins. The people went snorkeling in the bay where we stopped and they did a very nice catering as well.
Definitely recommend this trip and the staff are very nice too

Maybe we were lucky, but we had a fantastic time on board. Not only did the crew know exactly where to look, we saw multiple groups of dolphins, pilot whales and even some flying fish!

The catamaran was well equipped and the crew knowledgeable and attentive. The transfer was made in what seemed like a brand-new minibus too which was great to see! We would highly recommend this tour over some of the other more popular/more heavily advertised companies.

This was a last minute booking for me and my two kids (12 & 7) and I am so glad I booked it !

The boat was beautiful, with only 8 other passengers and the crew couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful

We went for the 1830 3 hr cruise and got a pick up from our hotel included. They took us out from the harbour at Costa Adeje and it wasn’t more than 30 minutes before dolphins were spotted. It was clear these guys knew how to keep distance and respect these creatures but before long it took a turn for the amazing when the dolphins began to play with us and the boat chasing along side us and in front and my kids witnessed something special.

After a short while we then spotted some pilot whales which again was wonderful to see.

Finally we sailed to a quiet bay and had food and drinks and my eldest had the chance to snorkel for the first time as we got to sit and watch the sunset before a leisurely cruise back along the coast and home

I highly highly recommend these guys and will book again the next time I’m in Tenerife

We took the catamaran at 4 o'clock,only 6 of us on the trip so not crowded.
Boat lovely crew friendly and full of knowledge regarding the area.
We were really lucky as saw lots and lots of dolphins close up to the boat and a few whales a little distance away
Trip was great value for money and the tapas and Cava went down well when we stopped just off shore (some of the party even had a little swim.
The trip also includes getting picked up and dropped back at your resort.
Will definitely be going back

Decided to go for a whale and dolphins sunset watching tour, and while searching for a smaller boat / catamaran we founded Monte Cristo.
We were a group of 4 adults and 1 child, and a total of about 20 people on the catamaran.
We were lucky to see some whales, but no dolphins that day. While going to the snorkeling place me and one of my friends also saw a turtle.
The catamaran was very clean and tidy, lots of foods/drinks, and the crew was very helpfully, especially Michael, who’s a really great guy!

Highly recommend!

Tip: try the vodka caramel shots!
