Best boat tour in Tenerife, get on it!!!Deedin
The best boat tour in Tenerife!! We went on as a family of 3 after a late booking with this being the only available boat tour at such short notice and I can say soo glad it was this boat. From chasing down other ships to the pirates of the Caribbean theme music and du haste by Rammstein 😂 (to capture their souls),to the beautiful Pilate whales & flying fish, we were lucky enough to see two families of the whales and were left amazed by the sighting they come right up to the boat. The crew were absolutely amazing and made the boat tour such fun
Good Route and Friendly Crew, but Far Too Crowded684alleng
The route itself was very good, and the crew were friendly and welcoming. The price was also reasonable for what was included, although the food was fairly average.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was affected by how overcrowded the boat felt. There were so many people onboard that at times it felt like being packed in like canned sardines. The front of the boat had no shade, so the sun was very intense throughout the trip. The only shaded area was at the back, but this was also the smoking area, which was quite small and often had several people smoking at the same time.
There was also a noticeable smell of boat fuel toward the front, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy that part of the boat.
Overall, the crew and the route were good, and the price was reasonable, but I think the experience would be significantly better with fewer passengers, more shaded seating, and a better separation between the smoking and non-smoking areas.
Fingers crossed your trip will be as good as oursHades4nitram
Mar 29, 2026, 11:29:39 AM This was a great trip not only did we see both dolphins and whales which was a bonus.But the whole trip was great the boat was called shogun and was very comfortable good music good food and a wonderful crew
You should take the tour!helara2024
The weather was dusty of the sand from Africa and visibility was not very good. The ride out to the ocean was far from smooth and got some passengers seasick, but despide that, we got to see a big dolphine pod. Unfortunately, pilot whales were out of sight. There were also some groups of flying fishes to see. It was an enjoyable tour and best is to see the animals in nature instead of being in captivity!
A unique excursion and experience worth repeating…349ampac
We loved the experience..
The crew was very kind and attentive.
(Javi the captain was super good, we saw whales and dolphins, Andy the guide was super cheerful, Adrián was attentive and his sangria was super delicious, in general everyone was kind)
The best part was the swim in front of the Los Gigantes cliffs..
And the return to Puerto Colón was super beautiful and cheerful with music and relaxation….
100% recommended.
Day aboard the ShogunC8696FQpabloc
It was a nice day aboard the Shogun ship. We saw many whales and dolphins, the stop in Masca the best of the trip, plus we ate on board. Repeat without a doubt
Stunning cliffs.Paradise32909425638
Excursion very complete, we have seen pilot whales and dolphins. The stop for swimming and eating in the setting of the cliff of Los Gigantes, wonderful.
Performance not in accordance with the descriptionCéline H
Nov 14, 2025, 12:43:01 PM 2/5 because although there is deception about the performance, we saw a family of whales and dolphins.
We have never been to los gigantes, let alone Masca Bay.
The shogun sails with the engine going back and forth between costa adeje and los cristianos and the swimming stop was made in front of the beach of los cristianos.
The crew is, however, very nice
The meal is very arbitrary
