My mum and I did this excursion today. Paolo was our tour guide and Nicholas was our coach driver. We had the most wonderful tour. Paolo gave us a lot of great information about Tenerife, mountain teide national park and the surrounding areas (despite having no voice!). We absolutely loved Incos de los Vinos, they had their San Andrés festival and it was incredible. The one downside was that by the time we got to mascas there was a torrential downpour so we could not see anything!! Obviously this is not the tour companies fault but would seriously recommend checking the weather before booking! Nicholas was incredible and navigating round the windy mascas roads in the storm. Thanks again guys

Booked at hotel through VIP tours. An 8 hour day being driven by a fantastic tour guide. We dove through the area devastated by fires in the summer. Very sad. But the tour took us all the way around Tiede. Showing all the different terrains. From the lush North, through the alien landscape, and the arid south.

Amazing day out! I had read good reviews so was really looking forward to this. When we arrived at the harbour a lot of other boat trips had long queues and were rammed full so was hoping that ours wasn't going to be this way. I was pleasantly surprised - there were just 10 of us on our trip and there was so much space for us all to move around and relax. The harbour is very busy and there is a queue to park so if driving id recommend getting there early to find a space. We made our way out to sea and found a beautiful pod of whales - the guide was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about these creatures which was interesting to learn about. The trip was respectful of the wildlife and turned off the engine and kept a good enough distance for us to see but not disturb the whales in their natural environment We then went on to a small quiet cove for snorkelling (and saw lots of fish!) and had a lovely lunch on the boat. Would highly recommend this trip, made memories to last a lifetime

We really enjoyed our trip. Our guide Laura and driver Victor were very friendly. The tour was informative and full of activities. Highly recommend 👌

Very good trip. Saw some whales, one of the highlights of the holiday. Johnny (captain) was very friendly, great with the kids.

The boat trip was good as there was fewer people it was good to take in the views and the sightings of the dolphins and whales , the guide was different quite eccentric but knowledgeable, he kept it light hearted and fun You were able to swim / snorkel ( optional) The trip was 3 hrs long but went really quickly ,

Well organised trip at a great price. Guide was outstanding. Good communication in 2 language's, very knowledgeable with good sense of humour. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The view at night was amazing. There was a full moon and lots of stars. The telescopes they had set up were brilliant. And the sunset was really special.

The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable,. We learned many things on this tour, and were able to get off several times for photos.

We took an organised trip to Mt Teide and were not disappointed. Amazing views and lovely fresh air. Great subject for photography.

Picked up first at our hotel by Alicia & Xavier the coach driver, (he is a brilliant mountain and local road driver, she was a good guide 3 languages, English German Spanish to cater for all passengers) First stop Garachico, pleasant but a look at rock pools half were closed, toilet stop at the village square and then a few hundred yards walk back to the coach. Next Masca valley which takes a while. Tiny place lovely views, restaurant, couple of expensive gift shops, kicking your heels basically for 45 minutes. Next Tiede national park, quite a drive but breathtaking. Only got half hour at the coach park centre. No time for cable car, free tourist museum which takes about 20 minutes to whizz round fortunately there was a toilet. Not enough time. Then to a restaurant called Los Camellos for 1 hour, you could have a 3 course meal for 15 euros but we were fine due to the serious food amounts at our hotel. Bought ice creams from the fridge. No where to sit outside, its a coach/transport stop. If you`re not eating not interested. There is a camel ride centre through the forest there but its a half hour experience so no time really just have to stand around and wait to leave. Next to 1000 year old Drago tree. Interesting to see it from about 50 yards away at the local square which is a fair walk to it. Stroll back to the coach through the village. I asked Alicia about the trip to the cliffs at Los Gigantes as it was a Wednesday and an extra feature in this trip. She said that wasn`t the plan they have never done this ever or on a wednesday, so that didn`t happen. Bit disappointing. On the whole it was very good, lovely brilliant sunshine, but not uncommon it rained on the way down through the park to the lower beaches where it was sunshine and 30C. Amazing to see the beauty and micro climates. An honest overview from a satisfied couple.

Really great trip; good mixture of sightseeing, swimming, eating, drinking and the whales were amazing!! Fabrizio was a fabulous host, making sure everyone was enjoying themselves, serving drinks and lunch and explaining about the whales and environmental issues. Would highly recommend this size of boat as opposed to the larger boats. There were only 11 people on our trip which was great. My only quibble is with the description on Tripadvisor. The headline points of the trip say it will be "a maximum of 8" and it clearly states under additional information that "this tour/activity will have a maximum of 8 travellers". This is not the case; the maximum number is 15. I think this should be amended as it's misleading.

Organisation and experience literally out of this world. Knowledgable talk through the night sky and views through the telescopes outstanding and amazing. Food was a bit basic. The free professional photos made sure the memories of the sights are preserved.

Lovley day start to finish, really nice small crowd, very friendly… drinks flowing all day, we had some chicken salad and a nice swim in the ocean… we saw about 6 whales, was perfect day, we went at 1:15 and home an all For 4:30, was a nice time as we weren’t rushing in the morning and we still had time when we got off the boat to sit by the pool and soak last few hours of sun I would highly recommend :) the driver was really friendly and the host was so funny and informative :)

What a lovely way to spend 3 hours, a very relaxing trip. The RIB isn't very big which meant it wasn't crowded and everyone got a seat to watch the pilot whales; yes we did see a pod and watched them for quite a while. Drinks were unlimited with a variety of choice, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Lunch was lovely I had the vegetarian paella but there was also chicken and bread rolls with plenty for everyone and seconds, thirds if requested. Even some left over for the birds. Would definitely recommend, will be booking to go on this trip again.
