Best Tenerife Whale Watching Tour! We loved the small group - there were only 6 other guests on the…read moreboat. What we really enjoyed about the whale watching trip was how much the staff clearly respected the whales and dolphins. We saw other boats mugging the animals, but our Captain kept a smart distance. When we travel we usually go whale watching and this was one of the best in terms of respect of the animals, information given and then they sent our Guides photos - for free! Thanks to Laura and the Captain for a wonderful whale watching tour. Next time we are in Tenerife we will join another trip. Insider tip - although Tenerife was wonderfully warm, at 9:30am the ocean wind was cool so bring a hat and light jacket.

The Camello Safari is open every day until 4pm and rides every 15 minutes. It does not matter…read morewhether you are the only one to show up at a particular time slow - if you are there at any quarter of the hour, you pay 12 euros and get to hop on a camel for a 30 minute ride through the natural reserve. I quite liked that, because while on our way we have passed a larger group of tourists, we ended up being the only ones in our time slot and having a private ride with our camel and nice guide. There were around 20 camels on the premises, and they seemed to be well taken care of. They are calm and friendly, and thus it's ok to pet them or feed them a little greenery given by the guide. The tour of the reserve is nice, as it takes you through the inner treks which might take quite a while to access from the beach, and thus especially in the summer heat, you might not get there yourself. These parts of the reserve are not just bare dunes, but have quite a bit of interesting flora and some fauna to check out. All the staff were very nice. The guide himself volunteered to take our pictures while we were riding and was good at taking them, too. I'd say this is a lovely treat not just for kids, but for any animal lover visiting Maspalomas. The ride completes the desert-like atmosphere by the dunes.

Visited: Friday - April 1, 2016 - 1 PM…read more We exited the tour bus and followed our guide across a dirt and rock path. We found several grunting camels kneeling in queued fashion in preparation of boarding tourists. There were approximately ten camels in one train and another 10 ten in the next. The camels were calm but, a face-cage prevented the possibility of biting. A two seated structure was fashioned to accommodate people on each side of the iconic hump. We were instructed to sit in unison to prevent imbalance and harm to the camel. "Our" camel's name was Daniel. The camels rose at the coaxing of the employees. The camels remained in the queued position as we began our trek through a sandy route. Several employees wearing green shirts bearing the company logo, walked along. The camels were closely tethered to the preceding camel to maintain a uniform ride. So closely in fact, that our camel's face-cage occasionally brushed the woman hair preceding us causing her annoyance. An employee exacerbated her condition by hiding behind and gently teasing her hair to illicit a response. Her husband finally alerted her of the employee's antics. We chucked with guilty delight. We basked in breezy, warm, sunny weather in a slow but, steady course. The ride lasted for approximately 30 minutes. Everyone seemed to enjoy a memorable walk with, er, on camels.

Amazing dive and snorkel company!…read more Went diving with a friend in Tenerife. For me it was the first time, so I was slightly nervous. But the dive instructor understood this and made me feel completely at ease. And their super cool people. All langues spoken. They do very well to teach you what you need. And they stick by your side in the deep to make sure you have no problems. They deflate you when you need to sink, and inflate you when you need to float up. And they take pictures of you underwater so you can take the memories. That was a bonus. The price is good as well. And if you do a dive here, then choose to do your certification within 2 weeks, you'll get a discount. Sadly I had too much work and was unable to get certified within that time. But since they have a location in Gran Canaria where I live, i'll def go back for my certification.
