Great boat trip with lots of sightings
StephenC1964, October 2026
Excellent boat trip and we almost immediately started seeing cetaceans. We saw loads of different groups of pilot whales with many baby’s who stayed near the service whilst we could see some of the adults diving for food after a time on the surface. The use of a hydrophone enabled us to hear the animals calling to each other as we watched them. Very comfortable boat and David and the captain took excellent care of us.

What a fantastic experience!!! So respectfull for nature. They turn off the engine when we come near the dolpins. The guide speaks English perfectly en he is so passionate about what he does en knows so much about the animals. It's not expensive and you get a drink on board. We were with a total of 6 adults and 1 child and that was oke. I fully recommend them!!!

A Fascinating Encounter — The Whales and Us
simoc827, September 2026
We had a wonderful experience with Atlantic Eco Experience Tenerife. Mirna, the captain, and David, our guide, made the trip truly special. David delighted us with fascinating information and curiosities, but also with plenty of humour and funny stories. Although the experience lasted more than two hours, it felt surprisingly short — by the end, we genuinely regretted that it was over. What I appreciated most was knowing that this is an experience that respects and promotes marine biodiversity. If you love the natural diversity of our planet and want to spend two hours simply enjoying the feeling of being part of it, choose Mirna and David from Atlantic Eco Experience Tenerife. Thank you both for a beautiful morning!

Enjoying the cetaceans with the utmost respect for the animal 🩵
Sightseer60684950886, September 2026
There are companies that do whale watching and there are companies that truly love, know, and protect the sea. 💙🐋 Atlantic Eco Experience is, without a doubt, one of the latter. Their naturalness, approachability, and enormous knowledge of the marine environment are perceived from the very first moment. But, above all, it is moving to see the absolute respect with which they approach the cetaceans, always putting the animal's well-being first. The way of observing them is incredible: without invading, without chasing, without altering their behavior. They know every family, every individual, and even know their names and their stories. That says a lot about the dedication and love behind this project. It is a wonder to find a company that not only teaches what we have in our waters, but also works to protect and conserve it. Because knowing our sea is loving it, and truly loving it means respecting it. Thank you for demonstrating that one can enjoy nature without damaging it and that the true protagonist must always be the animal. 🌊🐬💙 It is a source of pride that in the Canary Islands there are projects that work with so much love, respect, and commitment for our sea. Thank you Mirna, thank you David 🩵 it has been an absolute pleasure.

It doesn't get better than this
donna4mike, September 2026
Great experience, we saw dolphins up close, both active and sleeping, it was a wondweful connection to nature, our crew David and Marina were exceptional, very attentive and helpful, even providing refreshments, there is a WC on board for those of you who may need it, another outstanding aspect of the excursion was that there were only 6 of us on the tour and we were educated for nearly 3 hours on all aspects of conservation and care for marine life. They were even using a net to scoop up any debris they spotted floating in the sea. They were able to communicate in Englis, Spanish and German. 100% recommended and we would definitely do it again! Hugs from Donna & Michael.
