Itinerary
The Eco Experience tour
Once gathered at the meeting point we will embark at the agreed time on our boat "Papacho 2" with a maximum capacity of ten passengers. Our biologist on board will explain the details of the fauna we can find and the keys to its conservation.
During our tour we will approach different groups of cetaceans, sea turtles and seabirds, always respecting the space of the animals and without interfering with their natural behaviour. In this way our visitors and our crew will interpret together the secrets of animal behaviour.
During the sighting we will completely switch off the boat's engines so as not to disturb the animals and we will launch a hydrophone to listen to the sounds the animals use to communicate or to hunt.

We went on this wonderful trip today. We saw dolphins and Calderon whales and learned all about them in detail.
David and Mirna were fantastic. You could see they truly love the whales and dolphins and their surroundings. We learned so much and enjoyed it immensely. Thank you so much David and Mirna. I am returning in June and will definitely go on this trip again. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time with my wife. Perfect size boat (8 of us on board). The crew is great - knowledgeable, welcoming, and very funny. Saw some beautiful whale families. My wife was a little seasick but we were well taken care of.

Loved this group. Our hosts were so kind, informative, and enthusiastic. We saw pilot whales, common dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins. Our guides were so respectful to the animals while still giving us a great tour. We would definitely return and tour with this group. Also, the boat driving was top notch and the trip was very comfortable.

This tour was the highlight of our time in Tenerife! The crew was so welcoming, David was very passionate and shared lots of details about the animals. The boat was very nice, we could move from one side to the other to enjoy the views. We saw dolphins, pilot whales and even a turtle! It was very exciting and fascinating. We highly recommend this tour and would definitely do it again!

First, big thanks to the team for waiting for us, as we were 15 minutes late due to massive traffic jams we didn't know to expect.
The crew was overall amazing, gave us a lot of fun and interesting information about the animals we were about to see. They offered beverages and all the time made sure that everyone was comfortable. We saw dolphines almost immediately but it took some time for the pilot whales to show themselves. As we headed towards some cliffs to see turtles, the waves had gotten too big to see any sealife so we headed back.
Unfortunately that's the part I will remember most about this experience because the trip back got very scary very quicly due to massive waves. The captain explained how weather can change quickly and they checked the weather conditions beforehand but didn't anticipate anything like this. It didn't feel safe at all coming back because the boat is really small (9 meters) and we didn't have life vests, so all we could do is just hold on tight and hope for the best.
Everything went well and we got back safe and sound (and completely wet) - so another thanks to the crew!
There was another reviewer here who was upset that the boat didn't go out when other boats did. I wish we hadn't gone out to avoid this sort of experience. But my husband who has been in a bigger storm with a similar boat made no issue of the trip back so that's why our combined raiting is 4 stars. :)
It is still worth a visit because the crew is truly amazing, in that regard definitely the best tour we had in Tenerife.

We had a great trip with a really helpful and knowledgeable crew. It was as if the Pilot Whales were waiting for us. We saw 4/5 whale families and then the crew took us to where Bottlenose Dolphins had been sighted and we saw those too.
We learnt lots about the animals and the local environment.
We were also really impressed that anytime plastic was spotted in the ocean they picked it up.
We thoroughly recommend choosing this company, you won’t regret it for a moment.
