Puerto Colón Tours

Amazing experience! Miki gave us a really informative tour. We set off right on time and it didn’t take us long to spot some pilot whales. Miki is lovely and extremely respectful of the environment and the wildlife. Her boat is fantastic and really comfortable, and the fact that she doesn’t try to cram it full of people makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Overall, everything was excellent. 100% recommend!

9/8/26 Spectacular, the captain was super good, attentive at all times to spot pilot whales and she succeeded at all times, and on top of that, large families of them followed us at times!! 100% RECOMMENDED

Really good trip. Boat was fully booked and albeit all seats taken on the upper deck there was still room to get by and down to lower decks. The 1st leg to Los Gigantes was really good and amazing to see so many flying fish and the distance they fly. Once at the bay where we stopped for a much needed cooling down by swimming in the bay below the stunning volcanic cliffs. Felt very safe and no strong tidal currents in the bay. Lunch was served and we were pleasantly surprised at how tasty lunch was. Homemade red cabbage slaw, veg rice and chicken meatballs. Free flowing soft drinks, beers and sangria during the day. To top off an amazing day we saw two separate pods of short pilot whales with mum and babies often breaching to take in air. Boat stayed with the family (in silence) enough time for everyone to see and take pics before moving on and finding a second smaller pod. In all we had a fantastic day and to see the whales made it extra special.

Just wow , what a wonderful experience we saw lots of pilot whales and seas up so close .beautiful scenery and the chance to take a swim . The staff were fantastic friendly and the guide was informative. The food wasn’t to my taste but I am pretty fussy and I still managed to get by . Lots of drinks on tap ( self serve) toilets were clean with enough to mean no queues . I’ve been on a few of these excursions and this by far beats them all hands down . I highly recommend

Great experience with a very friendly and enthusiastic captain!! The boat was great, we shared it with two other families. On this trip, we were lucky enough to see pilot whales and dolphins😍 I think the 9 a.m. trip option is the best because there are few boats and the sea is quite calm

The tour was fantastic! We first headed about 30 minutes out into the open sea. Once there, we spent around an hour searching for dolphins and pilot whales. The crew explained beforehand that there is never a guarantee of spotting any wildlife, but throughout the entire hour we kept encountering new groups of pilot whales, as well as a pod of dolphins. The crew was incredibly friendly, and it was clear how passionate they were about their work. I would definitely recommend this tour!

I wanted to congratulate this company, because it is not only the services it offers of maritime excursions for passengers and whale watching, but I, Andrés Hidalgo Alcobre, was lucky enough to be able to do my internship for the Certificate of Professionalism in Environmental Management, And it is important to highlight that I have been able to verify that behind what the excursions are, there is a team of personnel, working in parallel, so that the environmental impact is minimal. I was able to see the approach to cetaceans, the customer treatment, the management of the waste we generate, the control and communication with other vessels about the location of marine animals, the crew is dedicated to their work and are constantly improving, and I have been able to verify it. It is appreciated the work that it takes to work constantly, so as not to negatively influence the environment that surrounds us.

Dolphins - check, many and playing with the boat. A dolphin belly flopping in front of a cruising boat... Worth getting smoked for.Pilot whales - check. A family pod keeping on eye on us majestic, but less playful.Swim in the Atlantic - check. Take your goggles and watch the fish watching you.Decent food, flowing drink.Glass bottle boar was a great idea, but did make me sick. But after I had see a lot of gorgious fishm..Friendly, helpful staff.If you want something other than fizzy-pop, beer or sangria, it is there but an extra charge.I imaging in high season it would be very very crowded, so get on with your shipmates to make sure you get a spot to watch the wildlife.Free transfer from puerto de la cruz maybe 1.5 hrs, but comfortable and air conditioned.

Perfect excursion. The crew was very attentive. A very pleasant ride, and we were able to see several parades and whales up close.

Very nice guide, small sailboat. We were 8 people with a great view of everyone and dolphins.

It was a very nice boat trip; we saw the whales! We really enjoyed the excursion

Yeah, good! Pilot whales seen several times, a treat.

We had a great experience with friendly, knowledgeable hosts.

Excellent boat trip! It was a small group (only 11 people) and we all sat around the edges of the small boat which made viewing perfect as there was nobody in front of you. The seating and boat were very comfortable. We saw pilot whales and sea turtles up close (sat quietly listening to sleeping pilot whales breathing) and our host (Micky?) was excellent with her passionate description about the animals and their habitat. The captain and Micky were respectful of the animals and their environment, cutting the engines when we were close so as not to disturb or frighten them. Our 14 and 17 year olds really loved the trip!

Our captain Alex was lovely, he was really friendly and had a good sense of humour although he wasn’t not the best dj 😂. He ensured we all heard what he was saying, even come to the other side of the boat to make sure. We seen a few pilot whales, got up close and watched them. The rest of the boat journey was relaxing.

very nice team, also had plenty of explanations
