We went with friends and were joined by 3 others as the company only books a maximum of 10 for the trip. Roma and Leah were excellent, they were very friendly and shared lots of information about the whales, the boat and the surrounding area. We were lucky to see large numbers of pilot whales and sat watching them which was excellent. We had the opportunity for a swim and were provided with a light lunch (sandwiches, olives, crisps, nuts) and drinks. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip and I would recommend it.

€50 each, two boat lads were nice but barely engaged with us the whole trip plus they were smoking which is unprofessional, the water is freezing this time of year so price should be reduced accordingly, no one went in for a snorkel because we were already cold on boat as it wasn’t a sunny day, food is a sandwich and a few crisps, cans of beer and coke etc for drinks, did see dolphins and small pilot whales which was great , their flyer says board at gate A when it’s actually B , luckily I asked someone as we would have ended up missing the boat trip , good walk between A and B
The best ever!! Informative, huge fun, caring to both sea life and passengers and lots of whales and fish to see. Couldn’t have been better.
We have been on many boat trips of the 25 years we have been visiting Tenerife and this was the best so far. Only 10 people, spacious and excellent guide.
Well what can I say, what an amazing experience this was for the whole family. The boat is beautiful and the captain Juan is such a nice bloke. We where lucky enough to see a pod of whales while on the trip which was absolutely breathtaking. We later stopped in a beautiful cove and had a spot of lunch which also gave us chance to have a swim and cool off in the 40 degree heat. The only down side to the day was that a couple of our party got sea sick, The captain of the boat dealt with this both professionally and curiously. I would recommend anyone coming to Costa Adeje to spend a day on this boat it was by fair the highlight of our holiday.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy. Friendly and welcoming crew. Felt more like being out on a private hire boat than a tourist trip. The whales put in a spectacular appearance.
Seeing the dolphins, turtles and whales was fab HOWEVER, no fault of their own the whole group was seasick! 3 hours is far too long. The captain was nice, the boat is very nice and as there is a small group it’s good. As I said, we all felt seasick and asked to go back earlier, two people were actually sick! The captain was very helpful in this situation. He’s probably used to it!
Not worth the €90 for 2 people. Firstly the organiser was late so we weren’t allowed on the boat for 10 mins, having already waited 20 mins outside. Of the 11 passengers over half were sick and it was quite a calm day so all inclusive food and drink wasn’t very appealing. There was no sign of the new model paddle boat when we stopped but I guess no one asked. I few people swam where we stopped as the skipper said they would feel better but 2 were still sick after. You need to leave your shoes at the harbour so buying scuba shoes was a waste of money. We did see a few small whales but the sickness spoiled it rather. There was a bit of a stampede to get to the foam cushions at the front of the boat when we boarded and only the first 4 people got to sit there.
Fantastic boat trip Jaun was a wonderful knowledgeable skipper We saw the whales so close up it was a magical experience The food and drink was great and they catered for coeliac which was much appreciated Paddleboarding in the sea when we docked was great fun as was the snorkelling Fabulous boat trip at a reasonable price through Anita in the harbour
Very good experience. Saw the whales (which we thought were dolphins!) and my daughter (6) was very happy. Simple sandwich lunch, and as much to drink as you like. Really loved how the chap sailing us was cleaning up the ocean as we went and picked up ropes and plastic that he saw! Lovely chap, I wouldn’t want to do it in not great weather as it could be a little cold.
There were four of us on this excursion, we booked it solely for our use. Gorgjoe ( uncertain of spelling) was a fantastic guide, very attentive and his knowledge and expertise was outstanding. Dolphins swam alongside our yacht we also saw pilot whales. We were served lunch ( cooked by the lovely Nicole), drinks, fruit and snacks. We were also given the opportunity to swim and snorkel in the sea. Overall this excursion was excellent and definitely one of our favourite days on the island. Once again thank you so much Sonador, Nicole and Gorgjoe. Hope to see you all again very soon. 😘😘
Very disappointed with this trip, we usually go on the Eden Catamaran which is half the price for 2 hours, this was supposed to be 3 hours but we left 20 minutes late and were back 20 minutes early, kept us standing on the Quay for 35 minutes while they had a chat, we did see whales but no dolphins, usually the Eden goes around the fish farm which is where we have always seen dolphins, this trip they didn't bother, we stopped for swimming for 15 mins, half the time we were told, we were also told 10 max and there was 12 of us crammed in, the food and drink was terrible, back to the Eden next year who for half the price pick you up and drop you off.
The Tour was a great experience. El Capitan, Juan loves his Boat and the Nature in the Sea. He was a very good Tour Guide and told us a lot about the Whales an Fishes in the Atlantic Ocean. There are some bad reviews for the Sonador in the Past. They are from the previous owner. Since Juan is the Captain the Reviews are very good.
Beautiful, modern yacht. Excellent service could not ask for more:-). We saw family of dolphins jumping!!!
This was a fortunate booking as the original trip fell through and the agent set us up with Sonador. It was nearly cancelled. Not sure of the max capacity and there were only 4 of us. More than 6 would be a real squeeze. However, the captain - his English was a bit haphazard - got us to where we wanted to go and we saw dolphins flitting through the water, skimming over the waves elegantly and delightfully. Following this, we found the pilot whales with their young and had a great time watching them from a distance (not allowed to get too close). Because of the time we spent finding and looking at the dolphins and whales (which was the purpose of the trip) swimming time was reduced but that was pretty unimportant. Refreshments were dismal - a filled demi baguette and a can of beer/coke or a bottle of water - but that was unimportant too. We achieved what we wanted from the trip. Not cheap but worthwhile.
Not one of the large boat with 100 people on, only takes about 20 tops so the experience is very personal, we saw lots of dolphins and pilot whales in their natural habitat, went to a small beach for swimming / snorkelling. Food was ok, baguettes, drink on offer was varied and available whenever, a couple of people complained about the food, not sure what they expected but were very complimentary about the boat, service from the captain and the trip overall in our minds was perfect.
What a fab day sailing the gorgeus south of Tenerife coastline on a catamaran. the best way to explore the waters to see the whales and dolphins and i'd definitely recomended Soñador Whales Dolfins Sailing Yacht Excursions Tenerife. the team is unbelievably efficient to liaise with throughout the booking proces and with the most fabulous captain- super professional and so smiley and friendly! the best day - thank you!!!
Most enjoyable trip on this excellent yacht. The skipper is very knowledgeable and we saw dolphins in the distance, and pilot whales right beside the boat. A wee turtle was also swimming along beside us at one point. Drinks and sandwiches were lovely. Sadly the swell was too much to let us go snorkelling, but hopefully we will manage that next time.
This is what the mrs desperately wanted to do and we both found it amazing they picked us both up from Los Cristianos to us to the yacht we went to sea found a family of pilot whales we got fed and lots of drinks the skipper was very knowledgeable friendly we’re definitely coming again next time we come to Tennerife next year
Brilliant trip today to view dolphins and whales, good value for money and can’t beat a beer and sandwich (all included) while sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, well worth the money
Beautiful trip where the captain of the sailing ship gives a lot of information and exactly what he has to do to make sure you see a lot of pilot whales, without disturbing them.
A highly recommended experience. We were very lucky and we were able to see a huge pilot whale swimming very close to us. Juan, the captain, is very attentive to the group and is very respectful of the environment and the animals. I will repeat if I return, without a doubt.
Unforgettable experience, we have seen pilot whales and a turtle and our skipper Juan Méndez has cared a lot about all the passengers, so that we all had a good time and enjoyed ourselves.
We paid €50 pp for the tour. The explanation and brochure that was provided states that your food is paella, tapas, pizza & fresh fruit. This was absolutely not the case, there were only some buttered sandwiches, so a big disappointment. It also says that a drone films everything, we did not see a drone. Upon arrival on the boat, a photo will be taken, which you can purchase afterwards………… Strange when it is stated that a video is being made of your unforgettable trip on the sailing boat. The diving equipment was very poor. 2 diving goggles available that were fine to use while we were with 10 people. We also did not see a paddle board to use (this was also stated in the brochure to be present) The skipper was a very friendly man. But what it says you get for your money is absolutely wrong.
Super cozy boat trip, 15 dolphins came to swim 1 meter away next to the boat. From the boat beautiful views of the island.
Very nice sailing trip off the coast with choice and dolphin sighting. Snorkeling in a beautiful bay. Big praise to the skipper - great guy. The food (sandwiches) a little sparse - drinks top
A highly recommended experience! We saw cauldrons, a turtle and we could snorkel on the coast and see a wide variety of fish. The boat ride was very nice and the treatment of Captain Juan was excellent. He knows the area a lot and tells you the details of the different marine animals. We could have soda, beer and snacks. A unique experience.
I became aware of this company that offers the opportunity to do cetacean sighting tours (pilot whales and if lucky also dolphins and sea turtles) thanks to "GOAT excursions in Tenerife". I must say that I was completely satisfied. The staff is friendly and professional; on time with the times and good value at. The captain of the boat was also very kind and spoke both Spanish and English well. In addition, he shared with us interesting facts about cetaceans but also Tenerife in general. Fortunately we were able to see both pilot whales and dolphins and then stopped near a beach where we swam with the fish (with the possibility of using the diving mask) and were offered drinks and snacks as a snack.
Very handsome the trip, beer, food and a show the whales, if you go to Tenerife you have to do it.
Wonderful trip to see whales, highly recommended to include it in your travel schedule in tenerife.
Wonderful experience in the Dreamer, much better sailing in a sailboat with 6/8 people than in those great catamarans full of tourists ... so you can really feel the sea and the wind in the sails .. We saw a multitude of dolphins and whales, the dolphins played and jumped in our bow and we could even see a huge rorqual .. are the best memories I take from Tenerife and my children enjoyed it very much My thanks and admiration to your terrific patron, Juan, who transmits his passion for the sea, made everything very easy and pleasant , explained many things about dolphins and whales, sees them from a long distance, knows and respects them... also anecdotes about the island, volcanic formations, stories of the cove of crystal clear waters in which we bathed and the hippies who once inhabited it... He explained a thousand and one things about the boat and sailing to my children, and we all had fun and enjoyed ourselves greatly If you go to Tenerife do not stop doing this excursion and I highly recommend choosing this sailboat you will be delighted with the experience
“I liked the excursion... I was surprised by the sense of tranquility that watching whales swim gives. I also found very interesting the explanations about the unique identity of each whale and some other data that I did not know. It was nice to also be able to go sailing and have the opportunity to swim and see fish docking some distance from the beach."
El Capitan majisimo, continuamente preguntando si queríamos algo e informándonos sobre los delfines y ballenas que veíamos por el camino
We had a great time!! The sailboat is beautiful and super spacious, they put all the facilities, quality-price, super nice people, plus we were lucky to see the dolphins!! I really want to repeat again!!! Activity that you can not miss if you visit Tenerife 100% RECOMMENDED!
I've had a lot of boat experiences..but this was definitely the best!! Wonderful day the captain and his partner welcomed us very well immediately did not miss anything. The Sailboat was more exciting than the others, getting carried away by the wind to see the dolphins was a more authentic connection with nature! I recommend it to everyone!! It is very important to have a good sunscreen 30 or 50 .. to ensure that the sunburn does not ruin this fantastic experience!
Fantastic and unique kindness.... beautiful excursions accompanied by turtle whales and especially dolphins... we will be back soon grazieee
Excellent in all respects seriousness and professionalism combined with kindness and sympathy .. excellent
