Sailing the shores of Tenerife's towering volcanic coastline is one relaxing experience – and with this trip, it's made even more so from the sun-drenched deck of a catamaran. In between swimming, sunbathing and soaking up the scenery, there's even a chance to see pilot whales and dolphins as they leap and frolic in their natural habitat.

Cast off on this cruise from Porto Colon and you'll enjoy a different perspective on the dramatic terrain of the island. While sunning yourself and feeling a cool breeze wash over you, your captain will sail into waters known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales. With luck, you'll get to spot these magnificent creatures and learn all about them.

Then, as the day heats up, we'll sail in the shadow of the island's incredible Los Gigantes cliffs before dropping anchor in Masca Bay to cool off with 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 lunch on board.

The whole experience was amazing. We encountered many pilot whales and a green turtle. The staff were excellent and were knowledgeable and empathetic towards the beautiful animals. Lunch was good, along with an unending supply of drinks, both alcoholic and non. We actually stayed out longer than advertised due to the turtle encounter - the staff were worried it may have been caught in fishing line, it wasn't. The only bit I didn't like was how cold the water was when we stopped for a dip!!

Had a great time. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. The skipper had a great sense of humour. Overall a brilliant experience. Food and drinks included and managed to catch sight of whales and dolphins. 5 stars

Really enjoyable afternoon . We got to see pilot whales and bottle nose dolphins with a swim stop .

Very well organised, friendly and informative. A wonderful experience, a memory to treasure

Friendly staff, saw dolphins and whales and had a lovely afternoon. Only downside were downstairs toilets if you have reduced mobility.

As soon as we boarded the catamaran we were overjoyed!!! Me and my friend had a double sun bed. We were immediately served a drink of our choice and then a beautiful meal. Followed by more drinks when we needed them. The only thing we had to purchase was an ice cream, I gave them my change as a tip because they were so helpful and great people. And yes we saw whales, a whole family. Mom, Dad and babas. It was once in a lifetime for me. I will certainly do it again if I return to Tenerife.
