3-hour Whale Watching On A Luxury Sailboat In Costa Adeje

Excellent trip, we had a great time Elliot is a great guy! Highly recommend 😍

We booked on the spur of the moment the day before, based on the relatively good reviews we’d seen so far. It was a mixed group of French, Ukrainians, English people and us Germans. The captain of the Madoudou wasn’t very talkative. I reckon he spoke a total of 10 sentences. At least he spotted three whales – or was told about them over the radio. They were actually quite close, between us and the sister boat, the Tenerife Yacht. After that, he unfortunately turned round and headed for the swimming cove. The other boat, the Tenerife Yacht, carried on out to sea instead. We had quite rough seas and had taken tablets for seasickness as a precaution. The French, however, hadn’t. Luckily, they managed to keep it all down. The captain didn’t even say where the sick bags were. He spent most of the long swimming break below deck tidying up, even though there were a few kids in the water outside. To be on the safe side, I always swam alongside the Ukrainian boy, as his parents stayed on board. I would have expected the captain to keep a closer eye on things. The meal consisted of pre-filled rolls with ham and salad. To drink, there was Belgian beer and tinned cola. After half an hour, we headed back to the harbour, where the Tenerife yacht arrived at the same time. I’ve no idea if they at least saw any dolphins, but their swimming break was certainly not as long as ours. All in all, a relaxing trip, though unfortunately with too little information. Value for money was just about acceptable.

Lovely to see the pilot whales, clean sailboat, nice guide. Just a shame we left later than half nine and were back by 12.15, so more like 2.5 hr trip. Also the guide kept saying 3hrs wasn't long and then ours was actually shorter which was disappointing.

We had an absolute blast on our recent whale watching trip! From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organised. Booking & Communication Booking through TripAdvisor was super easy. We received our confirmation promptly, followed by clear, helpful instructions via WhatsApp, which made the meeting location and preparation totally stress-free. The Crew & Experience Our guide, Alex, was phenomenal! He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all of our questions with enthusiasm, and was fantastic with the children, keeping them engaged throughout the trip. Seeing pilot whales up close was an absolute highlight, and the swim stop was the perfect bonus. Equipment & Boat The boat was in immaculate condition, clean, and very comfortable. They also provided swimming goggles for the swim stop, which were clean and in great shape. A sandwich was included along with two drinks per person, which was plenty for trip. We had such a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an amazing day on the water!

Amazing boat trip, host was amazing, excellent with my child, overall a great afternoon out dolphins and pilot whales seen

Very very good. Great skipper and lovely boat. We were lucky to see so many dolphins.

What an amazing excursion!! Marco the captian was so informative and went to great lengths to ensure we saw lots of whales, dolphins and turtles. Very comfy boat, lovely lunch and fantastic scenery. Simona in the office gave us great communication via wats app on departure, what to bring, what to expect and checking up that everything was ok for us. We definitely will do this excursion again. Thanks for an amazing day Marco!!

We arrived at the location on the map, nobody showed up. Got a message several hours later to say that it had been cancelled.

We did see whales and dolphins. However we thought the trip was very unsatisfactory. The single-handed skipper hardly spoke to anyone. Dealing with English speaking customers, he ought to at least know how to say please and thank you. No safety briefing. No mention of life jackets. One girl was feeling sick and asked for water but he did not comply until my husband TOLD him to get some for her. On their website it states a sandwich, fruit and 3 drinks, including beer. We had a sandwich, but when I asked for an apple he just shrugged. We did have 2 bottles of water. No beer was offered. My husband is diabetic but other than water there was no choice for him. Even the cola was a cheap non-branded one. We chose a sail boat above a cruiser as we are both sailors. When asked if he would put the sail up he just made excuses. It was a perfect day for sailing! We feel this man has no people skills therefore is either in the wrong job or needs a crew member to do the ’polite’ bits that paying customers expect and deserve. We could have had a similar trip without the food, much cheaper. We wouldn’t recommend this company

Super expérience nous avons pu voir des dauphins ainsi qu’une tortue. Le capitaine était très sympathique. Je recommande cette compagnie. Petit bémol sur le sandwich fourni. Pensez à manger avant ou à emporter quelque chose car il est vraiment petit.

We had a very beautiful vacation day, everything was uncomplicated, we saw whales and went swimming/snorkeling. Would love to do it again!

Very pleasant moment and very clean sailboat

The tour was worth it, the group was nice and small (11 people) and we spotted two different pilot whale families. I would have gladly skipped the subsequent swim stop in favor of whale watching.

Very nice excursion...we didn't see any dolphins, but we did see a large family of pilot whales with a baby and a sea turtle. As a tip, I can only recommend that anyone who is not sea-worthy take a travel sickness pill beforehand...because it is quite a rocky affair on the sailboat.

Very good, from the boat to the crew

Schedules respected. A great guide (Alex). Friendly atmosphere

Beautiful sea walk where we could see whales very close. Thanks to Max our captain and Simona for this dreamy break! Everything was perfect I highly recommend MaDoudou and his team!

Exciting experience I saw the cetaceans up close was really nice, it is an excursion that I recommend. The ocean was not choppy and the sunny day was fantastic

We decided to do this excursion in this mode to live the experience in a more intimate way. There were 5 of us and Captain Marco was very friendly and entertained us by responding in a way to all our requests. We saw the pilot dolphins (sperm whales and killer whales are only visible from April and September) and the sailing was very pleasant. I would repeat the experience during the migration period.

​I just wanted to share the amazing experience we had. We went on a whale watching excursion and saw a lot of pilot whales! It was really spectacular. The trip lasted about 3 hours and, honestly, I would repeat it without hesitation! The experience was totally worth it.
