    Absolutely amazing trip, highly recommend this. Got to see a small pod of dolphins and a small school of whales. Awesome and unforgettable memories. The crew were just amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. I would definitely do this again and again and again 💖💖

    Amazing experience worth every single penny the crew (2 people) was amazing, we have been picked up from the hotel where we stayed by one of the guys which are part of the crew with the minivan and after more or less one hour drive we arrived at the port where the boat was waiting for us with the other crew member. Soon after we arrived at the port we left with the boat and while in transit the crew was really knowledgeable and explained really well how the Tenerife island formed over the millions of years and what could of been seen at that time. We felt really lucky as a couple of hours later we had our first encounter spotting some pilot whales and we felt even luckier when the whales were about few metres from the boat, great experience and great emotion, moving forward we have also seen some dolphins free and not in the park swimming pools like many people like to see them (poor animals) soon after we went close to the coast line where we had some food on the boat and had a chance to swim if we wanted. This is a kind of experience you get once in your lifetime and don’t think about it twice if you have the chance to go you won’t regret it. Also while we were on the boat we have been asked quite few times how we were feeling as the crew wanted to make sure everyone was feeling ok, considering this is an experience for a limited amount of people the boat wasn’t crowded and we really had a chance to enjoy every single moment of our journey many thanks guys for this GREAT experience

    On saturday I had a boat trip with just a few people to see whales and dolphins. It was phenomenal to see these animals in their natural habitat! Before we got back we stopped for swimming and snorkelling. Also had great tapas on board and a lot of fun! Thanks to Sarah and her Skipper!

    Un accueil chaleureux en français, un beau voilier, un petit casse-croûte et des explications tout le long. L'équipage est aux petits soins. Seulement 8 personnes pour profiter à fond, au calme et même entendre chanter les baleines ! Nous avons pu plonger le long de la côte pour un moment privilégié avec les nombreux poissons. Nous avons vu de nombreux dauphins, baleines et tortues de très près. Et même la raie manta qui se ballade dans le port. Je recommande vraiment ! Merci encore pour cette fantastique expérience 🌞

    Friendly host with great knowledge about sea life. We saw some dolphins, to see whales you need luck and good timing in the season I guess. Large sailing yacht so enough space for everyone. Note that the yacht does not sail, the tour is on engine all the way

    We thoroughly recommend this firm. We had a wonderful morning and saw pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins and water turtles. Both members of the team worked hard to give us an unforgettably good experience. Sara was knowledgeable and energetically told us all sorts of interesting things in Spanish, French and English depending on our nationality. The light lunch was very nice too. It was a great effort. Thank you.

    Went sailing October 11th 2023. The tour was great! We went out at 9:30 and saw pilot whales and bottle nose dolphins. The lunch was great! We also went swimming and the water was super clear and calm. The staff were great and knowledgable of the area and marine life. Did not love having to stop to collect all the illegal fishing garbage, but I get it’s important to keep the marine life safe.

    Great experience! We left the harbor around 1pm for a 3 hours boat tour. We saw a whole family of pilot whales and learn about the residents and transients species of the west coast of Tenerife from our very knowledgeable and awesome host, Sarah. We also enjoyed the scenery and were able to hop into the blue water to do some snorkeling. 100% recommended ⛵️

    High quality boat, food and attention on board. It's so great when someone clearly loves their job, so special shout out to our multilingual host Sarah who was absolutely adorable and got so excited to spot dolphins, even though she must go out every day. A special company trying to allow visitors to observe wildlife in a more sustainable and respectful way compared to others.

    If you want to experience a fantastic adventure, encounter wild sea creatures, hear their stories, and learn about the habits of the Pilot Whale, I highly recommend a trip with Sara and Felix. As a bonus, you'll enjoy delicious snacks, snorkeling beneath the cliffs of Los Gigantes, and a wonderful atmosphere. I warmly recommend it. It's a great option for spending a day in Tenerife.

    we saw many pilot whales, it was a unique experience, the staff was super friendly and we ate many typical tapas, all delicious, highly recommended!

    Sailing the ocean with Ayla and its crew was an incredible experience. Luxury sailing boat with all the comfort. We had a perfect lunch with a Seafood Paella made on board and we saw a lot and whales and dolphin. We are resident and we will repeat for sure this trip! Highly recommended!

    Fantastic experience with Picarus Sailing Club! We booked a whale watching excursion and enjoy every moments of this trip! The crew is super friendly and very informative. Jaime, our captain this day, also speak fluently French. We've encountered 2 different species of dolphins, pilot whales and even a green turtle! We had great information about the different species and their behavior. They were very respectful to not disturb the animals when approaching them. We loved it!

    Great boat and staff, nice tapas, for a four hour trip we returned to harbour after 3 and half hours, for an expensive trip I thought this was very poor, as the reason I booked was it was one of few companies that do longer trips. Not worth the money

    Ha sido una experiencia fantástica, recomendable para ir con niños, la tripulación muy amable y muy respetuosos con los animales que se avistan. Respetan las medidas Covid, en el barco íbamos 6 personas. Totalmente recomendable.

    It was magical. When engine was turned off and we sat there watching wales breathing. And dolphins swimming with the boat. We loved the fact that the crew picked up plastics and rubbish from the sea. Crew was lovely, passionate and knowledge, speak very good English, french.

    Sara and Felix are great. Sara is making a very good and nice atmosphere, I felt like I travel with a family member. Great experience 👍

  • 5/5 leo g. 1 year ago on Google
    I can summarise our sailing trip with Picarus in one word: FANTASTIC. We, a party of 8 persons, were picked up by a company owned taxi with a very friendly driver. The reception on board was also extremely friendly, but once at sea it got even better. Whilst Sarah was explaining the different kind of animals that could be seen, Nico was busy spotting them. The result was that we saw quite some animals, and could even distiguish them. The feelings we got is that this company is concerned to give their customers value for money. It is one of the best experiences we ever had. Leo Gras

    We did a nice trip guided by Sara and Misa. The location was beautiful, we spotted sea life, and could dive near the coast. Sara gave us a lot of information about local animal life as well as the vulcanic rock formations.

  • 5/5 Constance C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience, very few people on the boat, we saw many dolphins, amazing views on the cliffs, the bravest did some snorkeling while the rest had a drink and tapas on the boat. The crew speaks English and French as well as Spanish. Thanks for everything!

  • 5/5 Alexis G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything was perfect ! Felix and his son (sorry I don't know how to spell it) were caring angels with us. He respects the welfare of animals. He speaks French rather well in addition! Anyway, a great experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to do this kind of experience! A big thank you to you and if you go through Lyon it will be with joy that I make you discover the city! (Original) Tout était parfait ! Félix et son fils ( désolé je ne sais pas comment ça s'écrit) était des anges au petit soin avec , nous. Il respecte le bien être des animaux. Il parle plutôt bien le français en plus ! Enfin bref une super expérience que je recommande à qui veut faire ce genre d'expérience ! Un grand merci à vous et si vous passez par Lyon ce sera avec joie que je vous fait découvrir la ville !

    It was really great on board and much more better than expected! We have seen a few dolphins and also a big group of pilot whales quite close to the boat. The crew (Sara and the captain) was really nice and lovely with our kids! Thanks a lot again. We did really appreciate it!
