Review (2025-03-15): This was the highlight of our trip! We shared the experience with about 20 others on the boat who were all very nice. Endless beverages for the entire ride. We saw Pilot whales and the captains did an amazing job of getting us close enough to really see them. Next, we cruised back to the coast near a small beach with amazing views and stopped for swimming, snorkeling, and a small buffet. We cruised along the coast taking in the beauty of the coastal beaches of Tenerife before we ended up back at the starting point. This experience had a little bit of everything and it was well worth the money.
