What people are saying about Arona, Tenerife

Very pleasant team, we were a little afraid that there would be too many people on the boat but in the end it was very good! The meal provided is a plus. Not haute cuisine but we weren't asking for that much! And the whales were there, the children were thrilled. In short, a very good time! Thank you to the entire Maxicat crew! (small problem: the boat presented as "ecological" never took out the sail and ran on the engine for 3 hours...)

The instructor we had was so patient and kind, even giving me his jet ski cause it was easier to ride. Videos and photos were taken for us and were only €15 for all of them. It was an amazing experience thank you so much!

My little son was so exciting asked when we come back again. Loro parque is an amazing Place for Families with Kids. All shows were perfect.
