    A unique excursion and experience worth repeating…

    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.

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir una experiencia tan bonita! 😊💙 Nos alegra saber que disfrutasteis de principio a fin: los avistamientos de delfines y calderones, el baño frente a los impresionantes acantilados de Los Gigantes y ese regreso relajado con música. 🐬🐋⛰️ Trasladaremos encantados vuestras palabras a Javi, Andy y Adrián —¡incluido el cumplido a su sangría! 😄🍹—. Gracias por elegirnos y esperamos volver a veros a bordo. ⛵✨

    Good Route and Friendly Crew, but Far Too Crowded

    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.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re pleased that you enjoyed the route, found our crew friendly and welcoming, and felt the excursion offered good value for money. Regarding the number of passengers, Shogun is certified for up to 145 passengers, but we voluntarily limit our capacity to around 125 to provide more space and comfort. As the boat has traditional bench seating rather than individual seats, the feeling of available space can also vary considerably depending on how passengers choose to sit and move around the different areas of the vessel. We completely understand your comments regarding the sun. In fact, after listening to feedback from our guests, we have already installed additional awnings, so approximately half of the deck now offers shade while the other half remains open to the sun, allowing guests to choose whichever area they prefer. Regarding smoking, this is only permitted in a designated area at the rear of the boat, which was specifically chosen because it is the location where smoke is least likely to disturb other passengers. Nevertheless, we understand that it can still be uncomfortable when several people are using the area at the same time, and we appreciate your feedback. We’re surprised by the comment regarding the smell of fuel, as this is not something that has normally been reported to us. However, we will certainly take it into consideration and check whether there was any particular circumstance on the day of your excursion that may have caused it. Thank you again for highlighting both the positive aspects and the areas where you feel we can improve. Feedback like yours is valuable to us, and some improvements, such as the additional shaded areas, have already been implemented. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again and provide an even better experience. 💙⛵

    You should take the tour!

    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!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience on board the Shogun. We’re glad to hear that despite the hazy weather conditions you were still able to see a large pod of dolphins and even flying fish. Sea conditions and visibility can sometimes vary due to natural factors like the sand from Africa, but we’re happy you still enjoyed the trip and the chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitat.

    Day aboard the Shogun

    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

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó del día a bordo del Shogun y que pudo ver muchas ballenas y delfines. La parada en Masca es sin duda uno de los momentos más especiales del viaje. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer una experiencia cómoda, con espacio suficiente a bordo, no masificada, con una tripulación amable y un enfoque respetuoso con la vida marina. Un cordial saludo,

    Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.

    How much does Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes cost?

    +

    Prices start at $63 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 Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 8 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 Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes?

    +

    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 Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes?

    +

    Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes 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 Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes?

    +

    Included: Professional crew with face-to-face guide on board; Carbonated beverages; Meals; Wooden boat tour; and Stop for swimming. Not included: Use of snorkeling equipment; and No towels, sun cream or photos are included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
