Whale and Dolphin Watching Yacht Trip – 3 Hours from Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje

While on a well earned holiday, heading to the sea for a whale-watching excursion sounds like the perfect getaway. It’s so therapeutic to be out on the water and enjoying tasty food and drink. Pilot whales inhabit the temperate waters feeding off giant squid, but bigger whales and some dolphins and turtles pass through too. After this experience, your yacht will take you to a remote bay for delicious food and drinks before taking you deep into crystal clear waters for an invigorating swim, snorkel & amazing photo opertunities.

    Best experience Cannot recommend this company enough! We were offered great promotions and discounts at the time of booking. We booked a number of activities with Lisa who made sure we had an amazing time in Tenerife. Her activity recommendations have made our trip the best experience so far. I can truly say that the staff are really there for their customers even outside of business hours. We unfortunately lost our tickets for one of the activities and realized it only last minute, Lisa has went above and beyond to get us our tickets outside of business hours and on her day off!! Not many other companies or staff would give such an outstanding service. Would highly recommend booking your activities with Lisa, shes really helpful and really cares for her customers.

    My girlfriend and I were wondering from Las Américas to Adeje and were flagged down by Kim Lory at the ticket stand asking what we have planned for our week. She was so friendly and helpful, we ended up buying tickets to Siam Park and a Buggie trip to Mount Teide and we enjoyed both immensely, it really made our time away a time to remember. Hats off to Kim, she sorted us right out, guided us with our best interests at heart and is a credit to the company. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
