About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- martinmM8095WI0 contributionsAnniversary trip out.Great fun few hours out, very informative along the way, with good sense of humour. Preferred as it was a smaller group, so a bit more personal.Written 7 November 2024
- Gary H0 contributionsAmazing pilot whalesMe and my partner went out with a couple of families on the madoudou. We saw a pod of 10 or so pilot whales caltain Rodolfo was very respectful towards the whales when we saw them he shut his engine off and we just drifted alongside the pod not bothering them in any way!! We then got some food and drink before heading to a cove for a swim around the boat before heading back!! All in all an awesome experience would highly recommend and would happily reuse the company!Written 7 July 2024
- 802mihaelar0 contributionsBuggy tripthe trip was beautiful, places seen and the buggy ride, but it was terribly cold on the mountain, in the clouds, we didn't expect it. the staff could inform us, especially since we were with 3 children and we waited an hour from the set time until they brought the other tourists. The children were not left with a pleasant memory, and neither would I repeat this experience except with appropriate equipment for the weather.Written 10 June 2024
- bryangC2329KX0 contributionsGreat experience!Amazing staff, wonderful trip, and stunning views. I 100% would recommend if going in winter to bring a Jacket since at sea level there may be 20-25 degrees but it gets cold near the top, even with a sweater. 10/10 experience.Written 13 January 2024
- emilyaJ3703FZ0 contributionsUnreal views and a really fun dayHad the most amazing day on our first holiday together thanks to Daniel and Lee! They took some unreal photos which still didn’t even do justice to the incredible views we saw. Really good fun and also learned a lot. Recommend highly!!!Written 13 December 2023
- T4267FUmichaelam0 contributionsA great….. disappointment :(We booked this excursion with an excursion agent. We were charged €180 and this was to include a “three course meal”, amazing sunset you’ve never seen before and to view a brilliant star lit sky with only a few people booked on at a time for an intimate experience. We were picked up on time, taken to the restaurant and our three course meal consisted of rice, chicken, a stuffed tomato and a single bread roll, also one drink. The food was not good quality, the chips being served to the children were microwaved! We were then taken to a place and saw a very average sunset, we had seen a better one the night before on our balcony. And then an entire coach of us were taken to look at the stars through four telescopes. It was a long trip with not very many good points. Using the coach meant it was impossible to get a good view of the scenery. Seeing Saturn is what has made this trip deserve the one star I gave, without it, it would easily have been a 0. I would not recommend this to anyone, the guide was a lovely vibrant man, and I’m sure this was used a distraction to how much a disappointment the trip was. The pictures on the leaflets should be changed as we saw nothing like that. We wish we could turn back time and never have booked it and wasted £160.Written 27 August 2023

- JamboT19660 contributionsExcellent service best price in TenerifeBooked 4 jet skis for 6 people, excellent communication. By far the best excursion I’ve dealt with 5*. Pre booked before we went out easy payment no problem at all. The jet skis where exactly what we wanted.Written 7 July 2023
- 930millym0 contributionsAmazing sunset experience!Amazing experience!! Absolutely loved it. Was nice to see a little of Tenerife other than the tourist hot spots. We went for the sunset and it was beautiful! They take photos as you go and offer you to buy them at the end for €15, they show you the photos first. Definitely worth the moneyWritten 23 June 2023
- zoel4400 contributionsAmazing experience and value for money.We went on the travelling lady. We booked at the kiosk at Los Christianos with a beautiful English lady. She was so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the trip. Staff helpful and see dolphins and whales within about 10 minutes. Highly recommend it. It was very cheap also.Written 17 May 2023
- simionalins0 contributionsQuad tripThe best experience ..I recommend this to anyone if you want to have fun and go for a long trip of 4 hours !! 👋👏👏🥰Written 29 January 2023
- rossiworld0 contributionsHeavenlyA big shout out to the wonderful lady who picked us up from our hotel and to the crew on board, thank you for an incredible morning. We had been let down by another trip only a few days earlier & we’re over the moon that you could take us instead. You made our week 🐬🐳❤️Written 2 January 2023
- Helen M0 contributionsGreat trip, well worth the moneyThe captain knew exactly where to go to see whales. We saw 2 groups within a short period then pulled into a little cove and went swimming, jumping in off the side of the boat. Captain had goggles and snorkels to borrow. He even lent me some swim shorts and a t-shirt because I didn't have any swimsuit with me. Him making the offer and me accepting was an amusing pantomime as he didn't speak English and my Spanish is rubbish! Lovely sandwiches and cold drinks provided. Well worth the trip.Written 5 October 2022
- jamesbU7957FG0 contributionsPay the Ritz, get the AdelphiWe were typically and Very Britishly early at the transport pickup yet got pick up approx 10 mins late, transport was comfortable I must say though. 1 pick up point was empty so “guide” took a photo of the empty busy stop - probably to prove that the bud has actually stopped there - so fair enough I suppose. We were therefore rushed to the port where the catamaran was waiting and a rushed set off without a real chance to get settled into a comfortable seating position and ushered along like cattle. A brief introduction to the crew (could barely hear through the PA system) so we just sat on the netting to the front of the boat and enjoyed the sail out. Saw some whales come to the surface of the water after a while which was nice and then set a course to a place to swim, eat (sold as a paella dish) and drink on the “free” bar. Baring in mind it was choppy as hell when we set of - appreciate nothing the captain or crew could do about the sea conditions - but the paella certainly wasn’t as expected as the photo shows. After we had to empty the unused food into a bin like a load of school kids we set off in search of dolphins - we didn’t get to see any sadly so we’re just taken for a sail up the east coast of the island (again crew can’t be at fault for the lack of dolphinage) a quick spin around and back into harbour for what was very short of 4.5 hours of a sailing journey. Again the return transfer journey was comfortable and can’t complain about that at all. Over priced for our experience and certainly under delivered.Written 22 August 2022

Good trip with short-finned pilot whales. Food for adults good, different children's food not good and not necessary. We booked Deutsche Tour, but ended up on Spa/Eng boat despite demand, although at the same time a boat with partly German crew took off. But there were hardly any explanations about the animals and the landscape anyway.
Is also bathing trip!!!

The service was super quick, all electronic and very responsive.
The trip itself was fantastic. We were lucky enough to see whales and also the dolphins on our trip and had a fantastic time swimming near one of the local beaches.
I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to enjoy a boat trip as there was heaps of space on the boat so we were able to enjoy the trip without being too close to others.

Arrogant captain, especially to the ladies. Please ask what food and drinks open bar) includes. In our case cheapest beer, white wine and Cava, dirty glasses 1/4 of baguette made in home kitchen wrapped in a aluminium foil. We got minimum service due to what captain said “I need to navigate the boat”. Inspiration regarding to food and drinks way below our expectations. And the whole trip as well regarding to service and bad attitude from the captain. The name of the operator Kosamui. Order processing and response from Bestexcursions was very good. I can’t under any circumstances recommend the operator

A wonderful experience with knowledgeable boat drivers and guide. They spotted dolphins and whales and led the boat there so we could see. They told us what species we saw and the catamaran worked great in the water. Good service, clean toilet and pleasant travel. Bathing in clear green blue water was also an experience:

Despite the cloudy sky, we had a great time on the catamaran. We booked directly at the jetty and were the first to be taken to the catamaran, past the queue. We had the opportunity to choose our loungers. After a short trip, the first dolphins and whales were already in sight. There were plenty of drinks and we were often asked if we wanted anything else. It was explained very well what to do if you got seasick. A successful trip.
It's worth booking directly at the jetty!

Great tour with good crew.
At first we thought “Oh dear how crowded this is going to be”. But by Reservation of a sunbed we had a nice sunny spot. (Don't forget sunscreen!)
The whales were not hunted, yet we could observe 3 families up close. The service on board was great.
The crew was very nice and my son was allowed to take the helm in the meantime.
Overall a great worthwhile tour .

If you booked this through BBB excursions on the front lucky you if you went. We didn't get picked up for the trip, the guy was clearly on something when we booked, he got confused and told us he'd shown us on map where to go....he hasn't its that simple ...absolutely avoid bbb excursions, took my deposit.
