Fantastic day out!
An absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Amazing value for money for a 5 hour trip, with pickup, drinks, food and swim stop included! The staff were absolutely incredible and made the whole experience fantastic- shout out to Andy for making everyone, regardless of language or age, feel so comfortable! We saw flying fish, turtles and pilot whales on our trip. There were also on board photos of each group which you could purchase for an additional cost- the quality was very very good!

We would do it again!
We saw a lot, the food was great and the music spread good vibes. We were able to jump directly from the ship into the sea and the sangria was also top, overall a very nice experience
Response from the operator: vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der Ausflug gefallen hat und Sie das Essen, die Musik und die gute Stimmung an Bord genießen konnten. Besonders schön ist es, dass Sie auch den Sprung ins Meer und die Sangria mochten. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen.

Very nice experience
We had a lot of fun. There was good music, good food and a crazy but nice, funny crew. Yeah, it's also good to party if you get involved, but nobody gets forced. We saw whales and were still in the water at the end, which is very good after a swinging boat tour.
Response from the operator: vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie so viel Spaß an Bord der Shogun hatten und die Musik, das Essen sowie die gute Stimmung mit unserer Crew genießen konnten. Besonders schön ist es zu hören, dass Sie Wale gesehen haben und den Ausflug mit einem erfrischenden Bad im Meer abschließen konnten. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen.

Family Day at the Shogun
I went with my husband and children, the best day of my holiday in Tenerife. Very attentive crew and stunning cliffs. We will definitely repeat soon.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North cost?
+
Prices start at $12 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 Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North 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 Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 10 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 Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North?
+
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 Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North 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 Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North?
+
Around 4 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 Whale Safari to Los Gigantes with pickup from North 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, Group Surfing Lesson at Playa de las Américas, Tenerife, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour. 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.
