★★★★★★★★★★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.”

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.”
