What people are saying about Adeje

Had the 3 hour tour. The crew was extraordinarily professional, loving and passionate. They helped the kids watching whales and dolphins. The viking show was incredibly immersive and fun to watch. Not to mention the well prepared games which people of all ages could enjoy. Definitely one of our best experiences ever! We and our kids loved it. Huge thanks to all of you! 谢谢你们带给我们欢乐和美好的回忆!

unfortunately no turtles but the boat trip was really good and we saw lots of fish! the wetsuits provided weren’t great, they were very thin and didn’t fit well so we did get pretty chilly and couldn’t stay in the water for as long as we would’ve liked. overall though it was a fun trip and we saw an area of tenerife which wouldn’t have been accessible without the boat

Amazing experience, Gerardo my instructor was great with me as I was very nervous, don’t overthink it, just book it, listen and enjoy you won’t regret it, it’s beautiful!

Fabulous trip, so relaxing and lucky to see a lovely young family of whales..
