      Absolutely brilliant, knowledgeable considerate staff.
      Max 24 on the boat, loads of space to move around and view. Includes food and drinks, didn't try the food but looked nice. Saw lots of whales and a turtle. All the clientele were like minded and courteous to others. Couldn't rate it highly enough. We didn't want a "party boat", this was perfect, fun but with a feeling of health and safety, sensible crew who were happy to have a laugh and lots of smiles but were constantly attentive.

      Pilot Whales
      Fantastic trip with the personal touch, as the trip has a restriction on the amount of people it carries. This is much better so you get an excellent view whatever. Comfortable seating area with brilliant service from the staff. Topped up our drinks all the time, and the tapas on offer once we stopped for snorkeling was lovely and tasty. Stars of the show were of course the dolphins and pilot whales who did not disappoint. We saw 2 different pods of whales and quite a number of dolphins. Crew happily answered my questions about the whales. All in all a fantastic trip which was good value for money, would recommend!

      Excellent boat trip
      This was a fabulous day, we saw so many dolphins (both bottlenose and Atlantic spotted) who seemed to enjoy showing off for us, plus a couple of groups of pilot whales. With such a small group of people on the catamaran there was plenty of room for everyone to view clearly. The English lady guide gave lots of interesting information about the animals we were viewing. Tasty tapas lunch with lots of choices plus a range of drinks both soft and alcoholic. Would definitely recommend.

      Best boat trip in Tenerife
      This trip was amazing. From start to finish it was perfect, pick up from hotel and taken to boat, staff were very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was lovely and drinks were offered freely and regularly. Worth every penny. I'd highly recommend. We seen an abundance of Dolphins and Whales which was very special. We have been on a few other trips locally over the last few years and this is hands down the very best!

      An excellent whale/dolphin trip, they deliver everything that’s promised
      We booked this trip based on recent Trip Advisor reviews and we weren’t disappointed! The crew are extremely knowledgable and very personable considering that they are doing this trip every day, three times a day….we saw a huge pod of pilot whales before all the other boats descended on us, we were served non stop drinks (soft and alcoholic) and then a tapas lunch which was delicious! A quick shot of honey rum and then we were heading back along the coast for our return journey. There was an opportunity to swim & snorkel too but the sea was too chilly for us! Would absolutely recommend this trip and it’s worth every penny.

      Great Trip Whale watching
      Could not praise the Captain and Crew enough. The Captain made sure he found some pilot Whales 🐳 and the crew kept us fed and watered. Great trip nothing was to much for them. Thank you so much.

      It’s definitely a one in a life time experience. I loved every moment of it. Staff were really nice and friendly making it comfortable. Also very informative and knowledgeable about the whales and dolphins making the experience more interesting. Would recommend to go with them if wanting to see some whales and dolphins whilst enjoying bubbly Prosecco!

      FABULOUS TRIP 1ST CLASS.
      Took morning slot 10am. Collected at hotel no problem and arrived at port about 10 minutes before departing time. Staff made sure everyone knew what was happening and departed on the dot. Staff very friendly and max occupancy was 24 plus crew - we were about 16 or so. plenty of room and catamaran was clean. Food and drinks were 1st class but best of all found dolphins quickly and they trailed us and were playing alongside and under the catamaran for about 10- 15 minutes Then about 10- 15 minutes after found a batch/pod of 10 or so pilot whales who we stayed with for quite a while. Brilliant time and staff were wonderful giving info re the of dolphins/whales etc. Couldn't have wished for a better day - not as cheap as some of the big cats going out but worth every penny. Thanks to all the staff at MCC for making it a special day.👍

      Best birthday treat
      Was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend it. Being a smaller cat meant it was a bit more personal. The staff were top notch. Would do it again

    After reading reviews beforehand I would have thought this would have been much better. Although we did see the whales briefly there was nothing much else to see and We were given next to nothing from the crew in terms of background information regarding the Whales themselves. More annoying was the fact that we could have paid much less booking with other operators over there rather than booking before our trip through trip advisor. The Lunch we were given was very nice but given that we were on the Lunchtime trip I regarded it as more of a snack and was left wanting more.

    The pickup with a minibus was very comfortable. They even called us before and told us where and when we are going to be picked up (right in front of the hotel). The Organisation was good and we even started the tour 20 min. early. We were told that we would see wales and there is a 50/50% chance to also see dolphins. We saw both and even a seaturtle. The young guide spoke englisch really well, was were friendly, courteous and especially competent relating to the boat, the animals, the sea area we were in and all the other questions we had. He is a great guy and a special thanks goes out to him for making this tour so great. The spot were we could snorkle was also very nice and the food was also delicious. The only critic we have, is that the food could have been a little bit more and we would have liked to stay at the snorkeling spot a little bit longer. Overall great experience and we definitely recommended this tour for everyone that is interested in seeing some real maritime wildlife or just wants a nice boat trip.

    Excellent experience, great boat, great team, nothing to much trouble just ask and they will help very friendly, saw pilot whales right next to boat with babies.. Crew making sure not to disturb them, views of coast from sea worth it itself, had swimming time in beautiful bay and food and drink... Excellent time. Highly recommend this boat as also have shade area to rear of boat if needed.
    Great value for money.

    We booked this very late in the day having driven from the north of the island and unfamiliar with any of the pick up addresses.
    Right from first contact the company couldn’t have been more helpful arranging a pick up. The crew were super polite attentive and knowledgeable and we got real lucky on our trip seeing many dolphins, tuna and whales. Food and drink (copious, for those that do) was provided, a stop made for swimming in a calm bay and a deliriously beautiful sunset to end the trip, everything we hoped for and more.
    The trip may not have been the cheapest available and unlike some they do not offer a no see money back guarantee (though I’m not sure how that latter would work in practice, think it would be hard not to see anything at all but seeing up close for glorious photos as this trip allowed may not be that common). Strong Recommend.

    Brilliant service from picking us up to dropping us off back at the Hotel. Our driver the captain and the sailor were the nicest guys and the went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. They knew what they were doing as we saw whales and dolfins on a few occasion. The tapas served in the bay on the way back was really good. Didnt expect service like we got, the reviews we read were good but didnt expect it to be that good. Well worth the price especially when you see other boats rammed with people. Would love to go again. Thanks guys

    We booked our trip for a Tuesday but for some reason of the weather they changed their harbour and they let us know too late. Fair play to the guy he offered me to refund my money and let on the day he offered us for a free trip the next day, because it was their fault and he felt very bad about it.
    With the tour we was very pleased we seen a few whales unfortunately no dolphins. The people went snorkeling in the bay where we stopped and they did a very nice catering as well.
    Definitely recommend this trip and the staff are very nice too

    Maybe we were lucky, but we had a fantastic time on board. Not only did the crew know exactly where to look, we saw multiple groups of dolphins, pilot whales and even some flying fish!

    The catamaran was well equipped and the crew knowledgeable and attentive. The transfer was made in what seemed like a brand-new minibus too which was great to see! We would highly recommend this tour over some of the other more popular/more heavily advertised companies.

    This was a last minute booking for me and my two kids (12 & 7) and I am so glad I booked it !

    The boat was beautiful, with only 8 other passengers and the crew couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful

    We went for the 1830 3 hr cruise and got a pick up from our hotel included. They took us out from the harbour at Costa Adeje and it wasn’t more than 30 minutes before dolphins were spotted. It was clear these guys knew how to keep distance and respect these creatures but before long it took a turn for the amazing when the dolphins began to play with us and the boat chasing along side us and in front and my kids witnessed something special.

    After a short while we then spotted some pilot whales which again was wonderful to see.

    Finally we sailed to a quiet bay and had food and drinks and my eldest had the chance to snorkel for the first time as we got to sit and watch the sunset before a leisurely cruise back along the coast and home

    I highly highly recommend these guys and will book again the next time I’m in Tenerife

    We took the catamaran at 4 o'clock,only 6 of us on the trip so not crowded.
    Boat lovely crew friendly and full of knowledge regarding the area.
    We were really lucky as saw lots and lots of dolphins close up to the boat and a few whales a little distance away
    Trip was great value for money and the tapas and Cava went down well when we stopped just off shore (some of the party even had a little swim.
    The trip also includes getting picked up and dropped back at your resort.
    Will definitely be going back

    Decided to go for a whale and dolphins sunset watching tour, and while searching for a smaller boat / catamaran we founded Monte Cristo.
    We were a group of 4 adults and 1 child, and a total of about 20 people on the catamaran.
    We were lucky to see some whales, but no dolphins that day. While going to the snorkeling place me and one of my friends also saw a turtle.
    The catamaran was very clean and tidy, lots of foods/drinks, and the crew was very helpfully, especially Michael, who’s a really great guy!

    Highly recommend!

    Tip: try the vodka caramel shots!
