Fantastic experience.... definitely a must do.
We didn't want a big party boat and this was perfect = 11 people + captain. Oscar was a fantastic host and gave loads of info re the area. We saw whales and dolphins and he was really good about stopping the boat for the whales and keeping the boat moving for the dolphins = who knew that's what they preferred! It was great company and just the right number of people. We had a swim stop and some lunch. 3 hours flew by and before you knew it, heading back to port. Cost was reasonable and overall, definitely recommend this tour.

Lovely hosts
Unfortunately fell sea sick on this trip so I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to but the hosts were so so helpful. Always making sure I was taken care of and comfortable. Really took care of all of us guests. A special shoutout to the team on the boat that day but also to the gentleman at the meeting point who kindly put us on the next boat as we missed our one! Good vibe overall, food& drinks included and lovely hosts

Family magic and the highlight of our holiday!
What an experience!!! Highlight of our holiday! Oscar was our Captain and guide - he was super friendly and an experienced sailor! The ride was smooth! We saw Swordfin Pilot Whales (a sort of dolphin) and it was magical. Also flying fish. And the snorkel swim stop loads of lovely different types of fish. Just a really chilled day out.

Excellent value for money
The tour was brilliant and our guide Raul was excellent, he was very knowledgeable and very funny. We were able to spot Pilot whales and were able to see them swimming around without disturbing them It was well worth the price!

Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat 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 Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 504 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat?
+
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 Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat 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 Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat?
+
Around 176 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 Whales and Dolphins Watching in Exclusive Sailboat 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.

+
