Genial! Hemos visto calderones tropicales, delfines e incluso una tortuga marina y un pequeño tiburón. El paseo por sí solo es maravilloso igual. La tripulación nos ha explicado algunas curiosidades de los cetáceos y a los niños les han dejado un sitio privilegiado en proa en el momento que teníamos animales cerca. Totalmente recomendable.

Fantastic! We saw pilot whales, dolphins, and even a sea turtle and a small shark. The boat trip itself is wonderful. The crew explained some interesting facts about cetaceans, and the children were given a prime spot at the bow when the animals were nearby. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nosotros contratamos la actividad de las 18.45h. La actividad en si fue muy bien, ya que tuvimos la suerte de ver muchos delfines y ballenas, y el personal fue muy amable. Lo único "negativo" es que se pide acudir 35 minutos antes, y finalmente subimos al barco a las 18.50h. Pero lo recomiendo. Translate this opinion into English.

We booked the 6:45 pm tour. The tour itself was great; we were lucky enough to see many dolphins and whales, and the staff was very friendly. The only downside was that they asked us to arrive 35 minutes early, and we ended up boarding the boat at 6:50 pm. But I still recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia increíble. Salimos a las 18:45 y tuvimos muchísima suerte: vimos ballenas piloto con sus crías, al macho Sierra, delfines e incluso un tiburón martillo. Además, disfrutamos del inicio de la puesta de sol. La tripulación fue súper amable y explicó todo con detalle, usando imágenes y un libro de cetáceos. Nos contaron que por la mañana, al estar las ballenas descansando en la superficie, suele ser más fácil verlas. ¡Totalmente recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

An incredible experience. We set off at 6:45 pm and were incredibly lucky: we saw pilot whales with their calves, a male sawfish, dolphins, and even a hammerhead shark. We also enjoyed the beginning of the sunset. The crew was super friendly and explained everything in detail, using pictures and a book about cetaceans. They told us that in the morning, when the whales are resting at the surface, it's usually easier to see them. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Una maravilla!! La gente genial y muy amable, explicando y resolviendo dudas, muy simpáticos. Siempre con respeto por los animales, vimos ballenas, delfines y tortugas, nadamos y nos divertimos muchísimo. El tiempo de la actividad es el adecuado. Tanto si te mareas como si no, recomiendo algun remedio para el mareo, aunque sea ligero. Translate this opinion into English.

Absolutely wonderful! The staff were fantastic and so friendly, explaining everything and answering all our questions. They were always respectful of the animals; we saw whales, dolphins, and turtles, swam, and had a fantastic time. The activity was just the right length. Whether you're prone to seasickness or not, I recommend taking some seasickness medication, even if it's just mild. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien. Vimos un grupo de calderones, parando el barco para no molestarlos, y ellos estaban por allí nadando y saliendo a respirar a su aire. Después vimos una tortuga, y un tiburón martillo. Luego nos dejaron bañar en el mar, en la parte de atrás del barco, al lado de un acantilado. Más s no se puede pedir en lo que dura la actividad. El personal muy amable, atendiendo a alguno que se mareaba. Y puedes pedir algo para tomar allí, tienen bebidas y algunos snaks. Así que genial. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent. We saw a group of pilot whales, so we stopped the boat so as not to disturb them, and they were swimming around, surfacing to breathe. Then we saw a turtle and a hammerhead shark. Afterwards, they let us swim in the sea, at the back of the boat, next to a cliff. You couldn't ask for more during the entire trip. The staff was very friendly, helping someone who was feeling seasick. And you can order something to drink there; they have beverages and some snacks. So, fantastic. Opinion translated.

La espera al sol antes de entrar al barco se podría evitar poniendo un pasillo de sombra, esto no es un problema de la empresa en cuestión sino de todas las q hacen la cola en ese lugar, recomiendo agua y gorra! El resto fue excelente: Dede el trato del Capitán Sergio y del resto de la tripulación, hasta el barco en cuestión, las explicaciones, el cariño con el q se nota q quieren a su tierra y respeto q sienten por los animales y su hábitat. Lleva gafas de buceo. Duración perfecta! Un 10 Translate this opinion into English.

The wait in the sun before boarding the boat could be avoided by providing a shaded walkway. This isn't a problem specific to this company, but rather affects all those who queue in that area. I recommend water and a hat! Everything else was excellent: from the way Captain Sergio and the rest of the crew treated us, to the boat itself, the explanations, the affection they clearly have for their land, and the respect they feel for the animals and their habitat. Bring snorkeling goggles. Perfect duration! A 10 out of 10! Opinion translated. Show original.

Una excursión en barco un poco desagradable. La mayoria de pasajeros pasaron el viaje vomitando, por lo que la "música de fondo" eran arcadas de la gente. Deberian aconsejar a los pasajeros el uso de biodramina casi "obligatorio" para evitar pasar mal rato a quien sufra el mareo, y a quien no. Vimos alguna ballena. El avistamiento estuvo acertado. La parada de baño, fue lo peor, xq fue donde más mareos hubo. Deseaba llegar a puerto.

A rather unpleasant boat trip. Most passengers spent the entire journey vomiting, so the background music was people gagging. They should advise passengers to take Dramamine, almost as a matter of course, to avoid a bad experience for those prone to seasickness, and even for those who aren't. We did see a whale. The whale watching was spot on. The swimming stop was the worst part, because that's where the most seasickness occurred. I was eager to get back to port.

Henos tenido mala mar, algo que ellos no pueden controlar, la duración ha sido de 1.30h, que también es lógico por el estado del mar. Le doy la puntuación normal porque ninguna de las locuciones puestas en el barco han sido en castellano aunque llevábamos puesto en la reserva español. Por lo que los italianos y franceses habrán disfrutado, nosotros un poco menos.

We had rough seas, something they can't control. The trip lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes, which is understandable given the conditions. I'm giving it a normal rating because none of the announcements on board were in Spanish, even though we had selected Spanish in our booking. So, while the Italians and French probably enjoyed it, we didn't quite as much.

Trayecto de duración relativamente corto, 1:30h, en el que avistamos tortugas y delfines a los pocos minutos y a muy poca distancia. Y después de 15 minutos de navegación más, vimos unos cuantos calderones -o ballena piloto-, también de muy cerca. No nos bañamos en la parada posterior del barco, pero el aigua se veía muy limpia y transparente. El barco y la tripulación nos parecieron excelentes. Muy recomendable tomar una pastilla contra el mareo si crees que puedes tener problemas de ese tipo. Translate this opinion into English.

The trip was relatively short, 1 hour and 30 minutes, and we spotted turtles and dolphins within minutes and at very close range. After another 15 minutes of sailing, we saw several pilot whales, also very close up. We didn't swim at the boat's next stop, but the water looked very clean and clear. We found the boat and crew to be excellent. It's highly recommended to take a seasickness pill if you think you might experience that. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hemos hecho hoy la excursión y ha estado genial. El barco se mueve bastante por lo que si te mareas toma una biodramina un rato antes. Los tripulantes han sido encantadores y han hecho la excursión muy agradable. Hemos visto tortugas marinas, delfines, ballenas y peces voladores. Todo lo que prometen ver. Ha sido todo un acierto. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the excursion today and it was fantastic. The boat moves quite a bit, so if you get seasick, take some Dramamine beforehand. The crew were lovely and made the trip very enjoyable. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, whales, and flying fish. Everything they promised to see. It was a great choice. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estuvo muy entretenido, se nos hizo corto. Un paseo muy agradable viendo delfines y calderones y escuchando las explicaciones de Laura y Fernando, que a ratos se unía a nosotros y nos contaba curiosidades sobre los animales, encantadores. Ojo a los propensos a marearse, que se tomen algo o lo pasarán mal, Laura y Fernando tuvieron que ayudar a varios. Muchas gracias!! Translate this opinion into English.

It was very entertaining; it felt too short. A very pleasant trip seeing dolphins and pilot whales and listening to Laura and Fernando's explanations. Fernando sometimes joined us and told us interesting facts about the animals—they were delightful. A word of caution for those prone to seasickness: take something to drink beforehand, or you'll have a rough time. Laura and Fernando had to help several people. Thank you so much!

La ruta en el barco fue muy chula. Inés y Laura nos explicaron muy bien todo lo que ibamos a ver, y pudimos ver una tortuga, delfines y ballenas. Hubo un ratito para el baño, aunque hacía fresco. En todo momento pendientes del pasaje, incluso de una chica que se mareó y se puso mala. Buena experiencia. Recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat trip was fantastic. Inés and Laura explained everything we were going to see very well, and we were able to see a turtle, dolphins, and whales. There was time for a swim, even though it was chilly. They were very attentive to the passengers at all times, even to a girl who got seasick and felt unwell. A great experience. Highly recommended.

La actividad fue maravillosa, la guía Laura nos hizo la actividad muy amena e interesante. El máximo problema que tuvimos es que estábamos alojadas en el Puerto de la Cruz, y la llegada y salida hacia los Cristianos fue bastante complicada. No obstante la actividad mereció la pena.

Ha sido maravillosa, no sólo por el avistamiento de ballenas, sino por el buen rollo de la tripulación. Las explicaciones, el cuidado del medio ambiente, el baño en alta mar, las fotos y videos que te proporcionan... Muy muy recomemdable. Gracias chicos! Translate this opinion into English.

Todo de 10, pudimos ver delfines muy cerquita de la costa y los calderones igual, de hecho al ladito del barco, impresionantes! Lo que no se dejaron ver esta vez fueron las tortugas. El patrón del barco fue muy amable y simpático, nos estuvo dando explicaciones, y hasta recomendaciones en la isla! Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect! We saw dolphins very close to the shore, and pilot whales too—right next to the boat, in fact—amazing! Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles this time. The captain was very kind and friendly, giving us explanations and even recommendations for the island! Opinion translated. Show original.

Esperienza carina ma che non rifarei. Dicono 2 ore e alle 10 è partita in ritardo e siamo rientrati al porto alle 11:15… abbiamo fatto una sosta bagno in una zona dove non si vedeva nemmeno il fondo del mare Delfini visti, balene da molto distante

Nice experience but I wouldn't do it again. They say 2 hours and at 10 it left late and we returned to the port at 11:15... we made a bathroom stop in an area where you couldn't even see the bottom of the sea. Saw dolphins, whales from very far away.
