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.

Boat and crew where very professional and informative captain antonio was funny too. Pick up was delayed as it was an unmarked coach and driver made no attempt to announce himself . Perhaps a poster in front window would have helped? Coach was not a TUI coach so difficult to know which coach goes where!

The driver was not at the pick up point at the scheduled time so trip was cancelled - very disappointing

Pick up was over 40 minutes late and late arrival with no communication or apology, not enough seating, stated high speed boat - boat actually crawled along very slowly and went straight out seen some dolphins that were funneled between two boats and the crawled back to shore, looked like staff were trying to kill time.

We gave up our evening meal for a piece of cake and a cup of Cava! Sorry but I don't think it was worth it.

The whole experience was brilliant. The only fault was when we got to the harbour we didnt really know where to go...on the way back our guide took us back to our bus which was good. I would definitely recommend this..the host was brilliant he took photos for everyone on the front of the boat against the sunset which was special.

Incredible excursion. We didn’t expect to see many dolphins but we seen a large pod of around 20-30. Even if we didn’t see dolphins, the staff were wonderful and we would have enjoyed the evening based on the experience alone. The dolphins were just the icing on the cake for our son.
