Los Cristianos 2-hour whale and dolphin safari with a strict no-chase rule, licensed boat, multilingual guides, and conservation donations.
“We loved the fact that the staff seem to care about the sea life we were hoping to see. Having reached an area where dolphin and whales are often sighted the engine was cut. We saw both dolphins and a pilot whale which was amazing”
Kayak safari from Los Cristianos to a sea-only snorkeling spot in Tenerife’s marine reserve, with dolphins, turtles, and a sea cave.
“Very great guide, we had the chance to see Dolphins and turtles 🙌🏼 they where a lot of wind so we didn’t snorkel but it didn’t affect my experience, it was so so great”
Tenerife Teide sunset and stargazing safari with dinner, cava toast, and x4 telescope views plus free star photos.
“Amazing experience and so well organised. We all absolutely loved it and all the Night Sky guides were so knowledgeable and made the whole evening WOW!!! Never thought I would see what I saw with the naked eye. Also what a sunset and food was great too. You must try this”
Shared 4x4 jeep safari to Cofete Beach in Jandía Natural Park, with Mirador del Viento views and Villa Winter stories, 3 to 3.5 hours.
“They picked us up on time outside the hotel. Great land rovers. Amazing driver! Some of those windy roads were tackled with experience and care. We also went crazy on some more stable rugged ground which was so much fun. Visited some great spots including a wind tunnel. Company were great! Totally recommend this.”
Small-group 4x4 safari from Granada to 2500 m in Sierra Nevada, wildlife chances, Roman and Moorish sites, and easy mountain walks.
“knowledge and friendliness of the driver are the second to none. We would not be able to do with our rental car and would miss this wonderful trip. I recommend this mountain high trip.”
Drive an open buggy through Fuerteventura dunes and volcano craters from Corralejo, with ocean views and a Don Pepe tapas stop.
“We had a fantastic time on the buggy tour. We had 2 buggies, our daughter has only been driving for a year and she found the buggy easy to drive as they are automatic and enjoyed driving throughout the tour. The majority of the tour is on the main rounds with around a 20-30 minute section off the road in the middle of the tour. We stopped at a little cafe so there was time for a quick drink and a comfort break, the ladies toilets were out of use, not sure if this is a usual thing but be prepared to use the gents as a unisex toilet instead.…”
Camel ride through Gran Canaria’s 1,000 Palms oasis, plus tropical gardens, desert animals, and optional tapas with hotel transfer.
“I had a fantastic time. The camel ride was excellent and the food was delicious. I had a flight to catch straight after the activity and the guides made sure I was back at my hotel in good time! The experience was a lovely way to end my time in Gran Canaria, great value for money, and I highly recommend it.”
Salou off-road quad safari with hotel pickup. Guided automatic quad ride through dirt tracks, villages and red-mountain views. License required.
“Had the best time, definitely worth the money and the guide was great!”
Drive a buggy through Fuerteventura’s desert tracks, black-sand Playa de Ugan, and surf views from La Pared, ending at Playa Sotavento in 3 hours.
“Pick up on time and without any issues, very friendly guide, fun tour. We drove most of the time on trails off the streets”

“Great, good explanations of Didí and good route. We saw dolphins and sharks. Very populated snorkeling area.Auto-translated”
A small-group 3-hour sea safari in Lanzarote, hunting for whales and dolphins from a modern trimaran, with a marine guide and hydrophone.
“Je trouve que le bateau n’est pas approprié pour ce genre d’excursion, pas du tout confortable, pas beaucoup de place, pas de toilettes pour un trajet en mer de 3 heures, on a très vite le mal de mer car le bateau bouge vraiment beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup !!! et tout cela pour voir 2 petites tortues au loin et pas d’autres animaux marins….Je conseille ce genre d excursion sur un bateau plus grand, comme un catamaran, ou on ne sent pas chaque vague . J’ai déjà fait plusieurs excursions de ce genre et dans plusieurs pays, celle-ci c’était la pire !!”
Camel Safari Park in Maspalomas offers a 30-minute camel ride through an ancient palm oasis, plus admission to see and feed animals.
“had a warm welcome and enjoyed the sunshine and fresh juice on offer in peaceful surroundings. we didn't have any issues with flies or smells as some have said . good value for money and all animals were well behaved”
5-hour Cofete and desert safari from Jandia. Off-road to Cofete Beach, Roque del Morro, and Sotavento Lagoon views.
“ACTIVITÉS au top, paysages superbes et variés. Guide très sympa, parlant bien français. Affaire absolument pour découvrir le Sud”
