    Ok, but could be a lot better.

    This trip was ok. I would not doing it again. The negatives: To start with we were late getting on, so what should have been a 3 hour trip was just over 2 hours, which was disappointing. Also the staff did not communicate much, felt very much like they weren’t happy and didn’t like their job, the only time they communicated was to tells us the rules or tell us off. They advertise a swim stop and snorkelling but don’t provide anything to swim with, with a few non swimmers they were unable to go for a swim. Positives: it was a nice boat, food was ok, not to my taste- the kids option was poor, but otherwise I think most people enjoyed it, there was a large selection of drinks. We did see some whales. Bus pick up and drop off was good. What could make this better- provide life jackets/ paddle boards and some swim stuff. Play music a bit louder, staff could give more info on surrounding areas as the boat goes past - beaches, buildings and history. Staff could interact more. Better food- fruit, snacks etc rather than what was provided would be better. Have the full 3 hour trip as advertised. I would not do this trip again, it was nice to have a boat trip, but I left disappointed.

    Defo worth going on

    What a lovely afternoon we spent on board the maxicat. We saw plenty of whale's, we had enough to drink and eat and there was only about 15 people which made it comfortable for everyone

    Great experience

    Went with family to take a break from beaches and pools. While the company could not pick up directly from our hotel, the pickup point was nearby, and the bus driver would be helpfully contacting us to ensure we would come on time. Arrived to the marina on time, boarded promptly and departed on time. The ship had plenty of room for all passengers (although it may not have been at maximum capacity), as well as all of the essential facilities such as toilets and water. The crew were very helpful and friendly, telling us lots of facts about the wildlife and how to best observe them. The pacing of the tour was very good; the boat stopped for long enough to see the wildlife. We got to see the pilot whales on the tour, and were able to get pretty close to them. They were very beautiful and remained with us for a fairly long time, so was able to get lots of pictures and get a good look at them. Unfortunately, we were not able to see the dolphins, so instead we headed to a nearby bay for a break and lunch. The food was good (chicken paela, but they had vegetarian options and options for kids); do not expect restaurant level quality, but it was good enough to enjoy while out on the ocean. Returned on time, and got a nice drive bak to our pick up point. Even though we did not get to see all if the wildlife, would still recommend!

    Great experience and really good value.

    Just got back from 3 hour long trip to see the pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins. Great morning. Very friendly staff on board. Excellent choice of drinks, which were unlimited. Food provided was really tasty too. Was a great experience and was well worth the money. Will definitely do again when back in Tenerife. Thank you to all involved. 😀

    Great trip

    The trip was brilliant. The boat was not overcrowded. Very friendly tour guides and captain. It anchored at a great spot to let us swim. I would 100% do it again but i would pass on the food and drink. That is the only thing that could improve.

    Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included cost?

    +

    Prices start at €23 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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included 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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 209 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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included?

    +

    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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included 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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included?

    +

    Around 73 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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included 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 Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included include hotel pickup?

    +
