Description

3h Whale Watching Catamaran in Costa Adeje

This fantastic excursion departs daily from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, Tenerife. The 3-hour catamaran tour sails each day, searching for whales and dolphins along the Costa Adeje coast.

The Experience

Pick-up is available from designated locations in select areas of Tenerife, including Golf del Sur, Los Gigantes, and the main south coast. Alternatively, you can choose to meet directly at Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje.

Your 3-hour Catamaran excursion sets off from Puerto Colón, giving you the chance to enjoy one of the most popular experiences in Costa Adeje: whale and dolphin watching in their natural habitat. As the catamaran glides along the coastline, the knowledgeable crew will share interesting insights about the different species of cetaceans found in these waters, including their behaviours, feeding habits, and migration patterns.

Keep your eyes on the sea, as pilot whales, common bottlenose dolphins, and spotted dolphins often swim alongside the catamaran, sometimes close enough to feel like they’re saying hello! After experiencing these incredible animals, the journey continues toward the far west end of Costa Adeje, where the catamaran stops for you to relax. Here, you can sunbathe, enjoy a refreshing swim, take in the breathtaking coastal views, and savour a light lunch served on board.

At the end of the cruise, you’ll return to Puerto Colón. If you selected the transport option, you’ll be taken back to your designated drop-off point near your accommodation, leaving you relaxed and full of unforgettable memories from a magical day at sea.

    Best by far Great experience, Great boat, great host. We started out on the boat and was greeted by Richard the captain, he explained what we may or may not see and started to serve the drinks (all included). We had been going around half hour and then spotted some pilot whales, great to see these creatures in their environment. Also spotted dolphins whilst heading to a nice bay where we moored for some food.You could swim here jumping of the boat and the water was very warm.We were served chicken, rice and veg and it was very nice.After a while we set off back to our dock and the end of the trip.Richard is a top class host and captain......Thanks for a top class experience

    Only book with this company We booked all our excursions with these guys after watching their YouTube page before we came on holiday! Would not book with anyone other than these, they couldn’t be any more helpful welcoming polite and genuine if they all tried! Thank you for helping to make our holiday so memorable!

    À faire absolument !! Superbe équipage et bonne ambiance sur le catamaran. Des sandwichs sont distribués au début de l’excursion et il y a un bar. On a pu observer effectivement quelques petites baleines, dont une avec son bébé c’était incroyable. Le cata s’arrête une grosse demi-heure à flan de falaise pour ceux qui veulent se baigner.

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.

    Perfect service. Helpful in recommending activities and sorting them out at a great price. Quad Biking up Mount Teide at sunset was an incredible experience and one we wouldn't have done if not for Daniels' recommendation. Fantastic people and service.
