Review of Tenerife’s Peter Pan whale and dolphin cruise, with ethical wildlife watching, crew commentary, coastal swim stop, and practical tips.
“The boat trip was excellent because we managed to see a number of Pilot Whales up close , including a mother and baby right next to the boat. There was a chance to go fits swim for five minutes after the watching , which the crew supervised strictly; they insisted that you didn't swim too far from the side of the boat. Finally, the brilliant captain must be mentioned: though he's done this trip probably thousands of times his enthusiasm and sense of humour was infectious. Definitely recommended.”

Review of Tenerife’s 3-hour Freebird catamaran cruise, with whale and dolphin watching, drinks, snacks, a swim stop, and hotel pickup.
“I've been on many dolphin watching trips and never seen a thing. This was soo different. We saw a pod of dolphins with some tiny babies, who were trying to jump out of the water. We saw small pilot whales, and then 6 or 7 big male pilots surrounded the boat and just floated about, right next to the boat. What an amazing day out and the 3 crew were brilliant too. If you have any sort of motion sickness, take travel sick pills before you go. The waves are big in the Atlantic.”
