As combinations go, it's hard to beat a sunset cruise with a dolphin-watching expedition. But that's exactly what this evening excursion is all about. You'll sail on a superfast boat off the coast of Puerto del Carmen and search for dolphins, and then watch the sun sink into the horizon. What's more, sparkling wine and pastries are included.

The Biosfera sails from Puerto del Carmen marina early in the evening. For more than two hours, your captain will take you to waters famed for their dolphins. Sightings are not guaranteed – but the skipper will spare no effort to search for them. Dolphins are spotted on a high proportion of cruises. Information on dolphins is provided on board. As the boat zooms along the Atlantic, you'll be served Cava and pastries.

And soon it'll be time for the other big show – sunset. The colours depend on the day and cloud cover but pink, gold and scarlet skies are a common sight. For the return back to port, the Biosfera will cruise past volcanic cliffs and secluded coves. A magical evening.

A nice gentle ride out for just over an hour. We didn't see any wildlife, but a slowly setting sun. Then our pilot put the hammer down...... WOW what a ride back. Leaping and jumping all over the place, I've never done that before. That is a must do?? We berthed by the dock for some snacks, then word came. Dolphin have been signed by another craft. So off we went. We weren't disappointed, first one then a couple of dolphins leaping out of the sea. Then a bus ride back to our hotel, more sedated.

Particularly concerned about the coach driver to the event. 30 minutes late, having picked up a hotel worker to be dropped en route. He then drove hard on accelerator and brake to make up time. Answered phone while driving round a roundabout! Outward journey far longer (with pickups) than we’d been advised and a long walk to the boat. No dolphins until a glimpse at the end, but that’s fair enough. BIt concerned about the return journey as the driver (a different one) veered fairly wildly

Staff on the boat was super friendly, Guy was funny, knew a lot about dolphins. Great that we got to see them. Only thing was when we were dropped off, the driver didn’t tell us where to go. She left straight away so first the whole group waited… after 5 minutes one man went to ask another driver from another company and he told us where to go.
