★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 3,812 reviews · 3 - 6.5 hours · from $47

Teide National Park sunset and stargazing from Tenerife. Dinner option, telescopes, green laser constellations, and possible Milky Way.

“It was an amazing experience! We had already read many great reviews, especially about the man, the myth, the legend: Ozzi, and they were absolutely right. Ozzi truly delivers a one-man show. He is a wise man, an incredible guide, and an outstanding showman. His ability to connect with people from all kinds of backgrounds is genuinely impressive and added so much to the experience. From the multiple languages he speaks, to his deep knowledge, to the great jokes he makes along the way, everything came together perfectly. All in all, an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Ozzi!”

Los Gigantes: Dolphin and Whale Watching Tour with Drinks

13.Dolphin and Whale Watching Tour with Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,027 reviews · from $38

A 2 to 3 hour Los Gigantes boat trip for dolphin and whale watching, a cliff cruise, plus a swim stop with trapeze, paella, and drinks.

“We had a fun experience on the boat. We saw pilot whales and enjoyed the cliffs of Los Gigantes. The crew was kind and funny. We didn’t get to stop long for swimming because of the wind but still got to jump in the water. As you can probably guess from the pirate theme, I would moreso recommend this tour to families with children, versus a smaller boat for adults.”
