Well, what can I say but WOW. so amazing we did the trip twice in 8 days and it was brilliant 👏 we saw pilot whales on the first trip and a lovely turtle 🐢 it was so cool and beautiful to see them in their natural habitat swim stop wasn't long enough but was great fun. The 2nd trip I actually booked the trip for the wrong time but the lovely staff remembered us from the week before and honoured our tickets and let us on. Well what an absolutely stunning experience. We saw pilot whales closer this time and then just as we got back on the boat from swimming literally seconds later the captain shouted shark 🦈 so we looked and there right in front of us was a huge hammerhead shark it was phenomenal and just so unreal. It was swimming up and down right next to us. Wow wow wow. Incredible. Highly recommend this trip. Also speak to Angie at the kiosk selling the tickets, she's one of the nicest people we met. give her gorgeous dog snowy some love too. And tell her Eileen from Surrey sends love.

No frills but at the price, was just what we expected. We saw pilot whales and had a dip in the ocean.
The trip lasted barely 1:45 though, but was advertised as 2 hrs. Was long enough for us and I guess if they had trouble finding whales it gives a bit more time to look.

We saw several pilot whales, that came quite close to the side of the boat. We also stopped for a swim, though it was too cold for us. For real nature enthusiasts one of the smaller, quieter tours with researchers might be a better choice but this is a good value option if you want to see whales and are not too bothered by music and a larger group of people. The guides are friendly and speak good English, providing some basic information about the whales. Drinks are for sale on the boat. Bring your own towel if you want to swim.

Poor experience, do not recommend. Both myself and my partner did not enjoy this tour. The boat is extremely rocky tipping side to side quite violently and is not good for those who get sea sick. The tour left on time and quickly found dolphins and whales, however after about 1 minute of observing them they then moved the boat to look at some fishing cages and a small cave instead. So we barely got to see the dolphins and whales which is the point of the tour.
The staff could barely be heard and we didn’t manage to hear any facts they mentioned, the microphones need to be turned up.
After one hour we were well and truly ready to get off the boat but unfortunately we stopped for another 40 mins for the swim stop even in the rocky waters.

We saw whales. Nice team, nice boat. Swim stop location was nice. We did not see Dolphins. The boat has a closed top to protect from sun but also an open top section.

I'm sorry that I did not have cash to leave a tip, but hope this review helps. If you are in Los Cristianos, book this excursion. The guys were so, so friendly and asked us how we were, if we are sea sick, okay, they are very informative with what we saw on the water. We had the opportunity to see a looot of dolphins and two little whales. The swim stop was nice, in a place that was safe.

It was amazing trip, we saw lot's of whales. Totaly worth of money. The stop for swimming is not very long, could be little bit longer.

The trip was okay. We only saw one pod of pilot whales, which was amazing in itself. Wish that the driver of the boat would make sure that everyone was able to see the whales, for example, turning the boat instead of just letting one side see it. Other than that, the trip was just average. You do not get long to swim in the ocean, so I wouldn’t do this trip just for the swimming in the ocean- this takes away from the time you can see dolphins etc though, so I would book with another company if I were to go again.
