Los Cristianos Respectful No-Chase Whale and Dolphin Safari

1.Los Cristianos Respectful No-Chase Whale and Dolphin Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 12,782 reviews · 2 hours · from $29Our pick

A two-hour no-chase whale and dolphin safari from Los Cristianos, with certified guides, pilot whales, dolphins and conservation support.

“Nice activity, we were able to see dolphins from a close distance and whales from a bigger distance. Guides were amazing, speaking multiple languages and providing interesting facts. The location pin should be revised - the pick up place is next to the Beach. A bit expensive for what it offers.”

Kayak along Tenerife’s Guaza coast, watch for wild dolphins and turtles, snorkel near rocky coves, and explore Palmar cave with a guide.

Drive a small electric Twizy through Tenerife’s mountain villages, taste local coffee and bananas, and learn island history with guide Dani.

“Dani’s knowledge and passion for this tour is clear throughout the visit.Driving through lava was a first time experience. Learning about the islands history and native culture was most fascinating. Sampling a barraquito coffee was a real treat. The local museum with displays of local pottery and early life amenities is an eye opener. Driving the Twizzy’s up and down the mountain back roads was a great way to enhance the adventure.. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 232 reviews · from $259

Ride from Las Chafiras to Mount Teide on a guided quad safari with paved roads, off-road tracks, hotel transfers, and mountain views.

“This was a well organised trip on a quad bike for two up to Mount Teide. We were picked up and dropped off also at our hotel. Safety came first and we appreciated that. The only thing which you should know is that warm clothing is a must. They rent out a heavy jacket for four euros and also gloves. Maybe bring them with you as you’ll need them. Gloves are an absolute must for the driver.”

Snorkel Tenerife’s south coast from Puerto Colón by speedboat, with warm water, small groups, gear included, and chances to spot turtles.

“The experience was absolutely incredible. We originally booked snorkeling, but when we arrived they explained that the wind and waves would make visibility poor, and suggested we try scuba diving instead. We had thought about scuba diving before, but we assumed we’d need more time to prepare, and honestly we were all a bit scared,me, my husband, and our 15-year-old son.
