Amazing catamaran trip in Tenerife - Amazing experience with my 2 daughter on the afternoon trip. Gabrielle was awesome he got me and my daughters drinks so I didn’t have to walk to get them as he saw I was struggling. I would highly recommend booking this. It was so nice and enjoyable

A must for nature lovers - Fab experience, we wanted a boat trip and this one was recommended, this included 3 hours at sea, which went in the blink of an eye, food and drink, we didn’t eat or drink whilst on board so can’t comment but the food seemed to be a rice dish with chicken and veg, kids had the option to have chicken nuggets and chips, we managed to see whales which was quite a moving experience the crew were really polite and knew exactly what they were doing and where to find the whales

Great afternoon whale watching - Had a great time 12/9/25 on the Maxicat tour, saw some up close appearances from the black fin whales. Good food and drink and plenty of it. The captain and his staff were extremely helpful, knowledgable and friendly. Had some great swim time off the katamaran before lunch. Overall a superb excursion for all.

Excellent trip! - Fantastic day out, friendly and welcoming crew. Good value for money. Nice food, free drinks. Saw whales - which was an added bonus. Captain spent time manoeuvring the boat, so everyone could get photos/ videos of the whales. Recommend this trip.

Amazing experience - AMAZING!
Fantastic boat trip. The crew on this trip was outstanding. My daughter started to feel unwell with the heat and sea sick, and the crew took control cooled her down made her feel well again. Guided us through why the sea water helps your body feel better. She came off smiling and couldn't thank the guy enough. ( didnt get a name sadly but it was Wednesday 20th on the 4pm tour on the smaller Catamaran guy had piercings and green sunglasses)
We spotted pilot whales and turtles which was incredible to see these in natural environment.
Food was lovely.
Drinks all included.
Swim time was perfect.
Would we go again....yes 100%

Great crew - Fantastic crew. Would highly recommend. The sea was particularly rough and my Mum started feeling sick. The crew were amazing and really helped make her feel better and kept checking on her throughout the trip. We saw plenty of whales and had a great swim in the bay.

Whale watching - Today Mon 27 Oct 25 we went Whale watching. Was it good, well. We did see Whales!
We were told to arrive by 1230 for a boarding of 1245 to sail at 1300. Well we arrived earlier as you do, the boat was not even back and came in around 1300 before lots of people disembarked. We then boarded around 1310 but with our photos being taken that slowed boarding even more. No one kept us updated as we queued in the sun.
We eventually set sail with a busy boat. A big struggle to walk around with so many people. Once finally we got out to see we got a little brief on the plan to go out and see Whales then a swim.
People started to move around the boat freeing up room. But also blocking views. Plus beer sangria and soft drinks were flowing in paper cups. Then Whales were sighted we were asked to be quiet and not move all to one side. I didn’t some did. Lots of photos. Then more Pilot Whales and more and more, it was great to see the captain was whistling strange that seemed to help. Brilliant and hence worth 4 nearly 5 stars.
After what seemed an age we then headed indirectly to the bay for a swim. It was a loverly swim but as it was sold as scuba diving I had my mask. Well I spotted zero fish.
Would I do it again, hell yes. I Did enjoy it.

Amazing boat and views too - We booked the catamaran excursion through our hotel, which offered a discount. It cost €27 per adult and €14 per child, with payment made directly on the boat. The minibus arrived on time and was air-conditioned, which made for a comfortable ride. We were dropped off right at the beach.
The scheduled boarding time was 1:00pm, but we didn’t get on the boat until 1:17pm, and it didn’t set off until 1:33pm. This delay was due to the first group who were meant to arrive at 12:50pm but didn’t turn up until 1:30pm – so the delay wasn’t the fault of the other passengers already there. In the end, we lost about 33 minutes of the experience, returning at 3:50pm.
Lunch was included, but there was no announcement when it was ready, so it caused a bit of confusion. The boat was also moving during lunch service, which made it tricky to carry food and keep your balance. The kids were served chicken nuggets and chips, which were just warm, while adults had paella.
Despite the delays and minor issues, I’d still recommend this trip based on the price we paid.

Awful staff - It's just awful, I was there today, November 3, 2025, with my husband, the staff is very rude, no pleasure, they handed out food as if I owed them something, no please, no thank you, I wasted my money and time, I don't recommend it, especially if you will be served by the staff, Molses D (captain), Roberto E, Abraham T and Laura Q
