Incredible experience in the Giants - It's been incredible. The whole family went, with 4 girls from 9 to 3 years old. We went out, and saw dolphins of different species, we continued seeing the cliffs and then a swim and ate. Very delicious snack food. But the best were Jaime, the captain, and Sara who explained everything to us. They were super friendly and the girls thoroughly enjoyed it. 100% recommendable!!

PROFESSIONALISM, RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF 10. - I went with my partner and it was a 100% recommended experience. We leave at 10:00 in the morning from the port. The sailboat is designed for about 8 people plus the crew member and the guide. In our case, there was a family of 4 people missing who did not arrive on time and they called to wait for them for about 20 minutes (it is worth mentioning that you must go early because we left from Puerto de la Cruz at 7 a.m. and we arrived at 9:45 a.m., a lot of traffic in the area). In this case, I have to highlight the professionalism of the crew member in respecting an established schedule since the rest of us would waste time during our visit. Therefore, it was an almost private excursion, we were two couples. Before leaving the port, they gave us instructions on how to get around the ship and a summary of what the excursion would be like. We were able to see pilot whales in the wild and see how they approached the sailboat, with great respect on the part of those responsible for not disturbing the species, maintaining silence and turning off the engine. Sara, our guide, a 10. A great professional who shows her enthusiasm and joy for her work, she explained many curiosities about cetaceans to us in a very entertaining way and provided very interesting data. Afterwards, we were able to swim near the cliffs, in Masca and enjoy the views from another perspective. They left us a snorkeling kit so we could enjoy the marine fauna. After the swim, they had prepared an appetizer for the return trip (potato omelette, nachos with guacamole, cold cuts and cheese), all super delicious. We were also able to realize the responsibility they have with the preservation of the species that live there because we found a boat carrying out illegal fishing in the area and they took measures. In short, an experience out of 10 that we recommend to everyone.

Must do - Great experience, the skipper was great and has provided many information about the marine life and Tenerife. The only error was the location of the boat location given by the Viator.

Highly recommend! - Such an amazing experience getting to see pilot whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Picarus whilst in Tenerife, great value, small intimate groups and lovely staff.

Observing sea life the way it should be: out in the water - From pilot whales, tortuga bobas, and spotted dolphins to jumping ship to enjoy a swim next to los gigantes - this trip had it all and was beyond memorable. The crew were engaging and found everything in the ocean for us to direct our attention to, told us about the wonderful animals, the history of the area, and then treated us to a wonderful tapa-style lunch with some beer and wine. The dolphin portion was our favorite part but the entire trip was something we’ll never forget. Muchas gracias!!

Super nice experience - Amazing experience! We saw dolphins and whales, and our guides did such a good job explaining to everything to us about the different species and how the area is protected. They served tapas at the end that were very yummy :-)

Totally recommended!! - We set off on a 4hr sail from Los Gigantes. Sara was very helpful to co-ordinate over WhatsApp. Felix was our captain for the day. The weather and water were great. Super smooth onboarding and sailing experience. The crew - Sara and Felix kept giving us great insight into the species, the ocean, sailing, the boat and general info as we sailed. We spotted a few mammals which was great for photography. We soaked in the sun on deck for a while enjoying views of El-Teide, La Gomera, the whales, dolphins (a few only) and fellow sailors. A sumptuous, vegetarian lunch was provided. Sara even helped clean the ocean a bit which was great to watch & learn! Overall, highly recommended for a relaxing excursion on the Atlantic.
