★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,539 reviews · 2 hours · from $33

See dolphins and pilot whales off Los Gigantes, cruise the Teno-Rasca sanctuary, then swim in Masca or Juan López on a 2-hour boat.

“We had an amazing time on the cruise from Los Gigantes! The crew was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome from the start. The scenery along the cliffs was absolutely breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to spot several dolphins swimming alongside the boat, a truly magical sight. After we stopped in a beautiful, sheltered bay for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear water. It was the perfect way to cool off and soak in the stunning surroundings.”

6.Whale and Dolphin Watching Catamaran with Transfer and Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,712 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $71Top rated

Tenerife whale and dolphin watching from Puerto Colón on a small catamaran with transfers, drinks, tapas, and time to swim and snorkel.

“Good communication ahead of the trip. Lovely boat, very small numbers. Friendly staff. Nice Prosecco :) Most importantly, so many pilot whales, which made for a magical experience. Only (very minor) criticism is it would be nice to have a couple more vegetarian options on the buffet but the food was a bonus not the main attraction. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone who wants a more intimate experience. 10/10 for me (and I’m rather fussy, lol).”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,604 reviews · 3 hours · from $46

Maxicat whale and dolphin cruise from Costa Adeje with pickup, paella lunch, unlimited drinks, and a swim stop near Teide.

“We loved the whale and dolphin cruise in Tenerife. Maxicat staff were great. We had no issues with the coach pick up and drop off which was punctual and very handy. The cruise itself was brilliant. It was amazing to see the pilot whales including the young calves. Sadly we did not see any dolphins but still had a great time. The food and drinks were good and we enjoyed the swimming stop too! The Maxicat cruise was less busy than some other operators which we preferred. I would highly recommend this experience!”
