“This trip was fantastic, the skipper and mate were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and really went out of their way to make you feel welcome. we chose a smaller boat as we have watched dolphins on larger boats in other parts of the world bit the smaller boat made it worthwhile as we're able to get close to the dolphins and there were no other boats in the vicinity. we saw numerous dolphins invlcluding calves right alongside the vessel. despite other reviews I have read the food was fine for a 3hr trip ham and tomato on a good baguette and carrot cake which was more than adequate.

Guided 3.5-hour hike in Tenerife’s Anaga laurel forest to Roque de Taborno, plus a local food tasting for $65.
“Aaron was our guide and he was terrific. He has great knowledge of the area and showed us things we wouldn’t have known about. He quickly changed between Spanish and English since we had a mixed group. He also pointed out lots of plants in the wild that are daily used in cooking. We had a great tasting over lunch in a local restaurant as well. We would recommend Aaron and the Anaga hike! The return is uphill but Aaron set a relaxed pace that allowed our group to complete the hike with ease.”
