Cruise Costa del Sol from Benalmádena, spot dolphins, enjoy coastal views and a summer swim on this comfortable 100-minute catamaran trip.

“This tour was the best any of our group had been on. The boat was in excellent condition, clean with plenty of room for all guests. The bathrooms were spotless throughout the trip and the shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. The crew were second to none, they made everyone feel welcome, even myself who spent most of the trip in the throes of morning sickness induced sea sickness. We spent precious time with a dolphin pod although I personally was very relieved to head back to the marina. If you book any trip on your travels make it this one. We will definitely be returning once the wee…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,929 reviews · 3 hours · from $77

Review of Tenerife’s small-group whale and dolphin yacht cruise, with pilot whales, dolphins, turtle snorkeling, drinks, snacks, and hotel pickup.

“We had an unforgettable day. We were also lucky that we were the only ones on the boat in the morning, so we were able to stay on the ocean for the whole trip. We saw whales and dolphins. The captain was very nice and we had a great day. I can only recommend this trip to everyone instead of one of the big excursion boats that are totally overcrowded.”

14.Whale Watching Eco-Adventure from Costa Adeje

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,066 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $72

A small-group whale and dolphin trip from Costa Adeje, with biologist guides, a hydrophone, free wildlife photos, and a low-impact approach.

“We had a wonderful couple of hours out at sea with a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, informative and humorous. We saw a couple of pods of pilot whales and also managed to see some bottle nosed dolphins, which were more difficult to find but as the tour boats all talk to each other, we were able to find them. Eight in our boat, normally ten, which was a great group size. Fantastic day, would definitely recommend.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Whale and Dolphin Submarine Vision. From the start, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. A special mention to Anja, who stood out with her attentiveness and kindness throughout the journey. It was my sister’s birthday, and although she only noticed her birthday badge at the end of the trip, Anja still went out of her way to make the moment special by offering her a bottle of champagne. That thoughtful gesture truly made the day memorable for us. The team’s warmth and professionalism made this experience not only about seeing the amazing sea life but also…”
