The host Jose was very welcoming and friendly and made the trip fun and exciting. Although we were not lucky enough to see dolphins we did however see a few whales which was just as exciting. There was a family and an older couple with me and my friend on the trip and we all got along well; everyone was friendly and having a good time. We were served drinks (alcohol and soft drinks) and Jose made a little spread for us consisting of chorizo, bread, goats cheese, guava jam and Pringles whilst docked just off the Morro Jable shore. Highly recommend and would do it again.

What a fabulous place. All the enclosures were clean and well maintained with space for the animals. The keepers all seemed to care about the animals and really loved them. The best bit for my 3 year old granddaughter was feeding the giraffe. They were amazing. The only thing I would say is don't rent a little trolly to pull your toddler in. It's very hilly and not suited to the little carts that cost 10€ to hire. All in all a fabulous day out .

All transport on time, text to confirm the day before. Lobos is beautiful! Boat ride smooth. Will return to do the crater next time!

Really enjoyed this activity! The tour guide was lovely, there was a picnic mid-way and the goats are really well taken care of!

They are the best. Not to expensive and the stuff is very helpful.
