Wonderful experience
For the somewhat higher price, you travel in a smaller group (20 people) and it is worth it. More direct individual attention, space, and plenty of experience. Many thanks again to Eduardo, who took very good care of us. The Zahl family
Response from the operator: Vielen herzlichen Dank, Familie Zahl, für diese tolle Rückmeldung! 😊💙 Es freut uns besonders, dass Sie die Vorteile unserer kleinen Gruppe an Bord genießen konnten – mehr Platz, persönliche Betreuung und ein entspannteres Erlebnis auf dem Meer. 🐋⛵ Ihr großes Lob geben wir natürlich sehr gerne an Eduardo weiter! Wir hoffen, Sie eines Tages wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. ✨

Tenerife 5hr coastal cruise with whale watching
Pleasurable trip, great views no stunning views. Food served. Drinks free. Boat a bit worn but fits with environment funnily. All crew freindly and captain is fun and engaging throughout on mic and person. Last saw many whales so did what it said it would do. Great work team.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-star review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re delighted you enjoyed the stunning views, food, drinks and especially the friendly atmosphere created by our captain and crew. 🐋💙 Our traditional boat has plenty of character, and we’re glad you enjoyed it! What a perfect ending to see so many whales. Thank you from the whole team! ⛵😊

Worth repeating.
An incredible experience from beginning to end. We did the excursion on the Neptune and we could not be happier with the choice. From the very first moment, Izzy and Captain Miky were super kind and attentive to us. They explained everything to us perfectly, starting with the safety briefing and continuing with explanations throughout the entire excursion. You can tell they enjoy what they do and that they care about everyone being comfortable and having a good time. They took us to see whales and dolphins, and then they let us swim in crystal-clear waters. They also had snorkeling masks, so we were able to enjoy the swim even more. The food was very good and, in addition, they gave us drinks (open bar) during the excursion. Nothing was missing. The boat is in very good condition, has a restroom, and, since it is for a maximum of 20 people, the atmosphere is much calmer and more personal than on other excursions of this type. They also gave us a briefing about the Los Cristianos area and kept explaining things to us during the trip. But if we have to highlight something, it is undoubtedly Izzy and Miky. Some real pros, approachable, attentive, and always making sure everything went well. A totally recommendable excursion and an experience we would repeat without thinking. Thank you very much for everything.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por dedicar vuestro tiempo a compartir una reseña tan completa y bonita! 😊🐋🐬❤️ Nos alegra enormemente saber que vuestra experiencia a bordo del Neptuno fue increíble de principio a fin y que disfrutasteis especialmente de ese ambiente más tranquilo y cercano que ofrece el barco. Nos hace especial ilusión leer vuestras palabras sobre Izzy y el capitán Miky. Se las transmitiremos con muchísimo cariño, porque saber que su atención, sus explicaciones y su forma de haceros sentir cómodos marcaron la diferencia es el mejor reconocimiento para nuestro equipo. 🙌 Qué alegría que pudierais disfrutar del avistamiento de ballenas y delfines en su hábitat natural, del baño en aguas cristalinas, la comida y las bebidas a bordo. 🌊🐋🐬 Muchas gracias por elegirnos para vivir esta experiencia y, sobre todo, por recomendarnos con tanto cariño. ¡Esperamos teneros muy pronto de vuelta a bordo del Neptuno para seguir creando buenos recuerdos juntos! ⛵❤️

Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.
Is Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tenerife?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tenerife?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch?
+
Included: Freshly prepared lunch; Unlimited water, soft drinks, beer and wine throughout the excursion; Snorkeling equipment; 3-hour yacht experience; and Whale and dolphin watching cruise. Not included: Private transportation; and Towels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Discover Whales in Tenerife: Shared Yacht Tour, Swim & Lunch?
+
