The calm coastal waters around Tenerife are home to an incredible array of marine life. On this exclusive adults-only cruise, you'll have a chance to spot pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins as they leap and frolic in their natural North Atlantic habitat.

Take in Tenerife's dramatic coastal terrain, all while sunning yourself and feeling the cool breeze as you lounge on deck – for your comfort, the boat is a quarter under capacity. Your captain will sail into waters known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales. With luck, you'll get to spot these magnificent creatures. You'll even have time to take a swim.

And to top it all off, you'll be pampered by the crew. There'll be complimentary drinks at the shaded bar, and you'll have lunch on board. It's a great morning or afternoon searching for some of Mother Nature's most interesting creatures while chilling out on board.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip … and were fortunate that the weather was perfect. Would recommend the sun loungers especially at the front … great views of dolphins and whales. Staff were very knowledgeable and attentive .. drinks were good, but we didn’t have food (not long finished breakfast!). A really enjoyable experience that we would recommend and would do again in the future.

Brilliant the only fault was the food was terrible we binned it. Also the sunbeds are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems we couldn't use ours as we couldn't get off it . Too low, no hand rails

Great friendly and informative staff. Because it was a TUI excursion it wasn't too crowded which was great. More than enough food and drink. Probably no need for the first sandwich but not a complaint, but overall very enjoyable thankyou 😎

The crew were really friendly, very knowledgeable & game for a laugh. We saw a family of pilot whales, bottle nose dolphins & a green turtle. The catamaran was super clean & comfy. We paid €15 for a “bed” but it was worth every penny. Highly recommended

Food choice for lunch - did not enjoy but ice cream was very good Whale watching- it was fabulous & wonderful Where were the dolphins?

Guides were very friendly and helpful, giving useful information with a bit of humour, and very attentive dispensing drinks etc and ensuring people had the best views of dolphin sightings. Very helpful to people getting around the boat when it was rocking. I banged my head coming up ladder from toilet, crew provided first aid efficiently.
