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.

    Absolutely spot on. We visited Tenerife a couple of months ago and luckily stumbled upon the lovely Kim of Tenerife First Excursions, she was so nice to us with no pressure sales whatsoever. She made us feel like we were her friends rather than her customers which we really appreciated. She was an absolute joy to chat to to she sorted us out with a couple of great activities that's really was the highlight of our holiday. We would definitely pay Kim a visit if we come back to Tenerife again. Thankyou 🙂.

    The best customer service A massive thank you to Daniel at the Las Americas shop for his helping booking and sorting out our trips on our holiday. We booked 3 trips with him , on the day of our dolphin and whale watching tour my daughter was unwell and at 8am Daniel was helping me to get the date changed so we didn’t miss it. 10/10 customer service from him. Thanks again , would recommend to anyone on holiday in Tenerife and I personally can’t wait to use Tenerife First Excursions again.

    Fantastic service from Danny and his team. Danny was able to organise Jet Skis at a extremely reasonable price to which we had an absolute ball. He was also able to set us up with Siam Park tickets. You really need to be prepared when going to Siam Park in regards to queues, lockers, etc... and Danny completely prepared us with information making sure we got the most out of the full day. Tenerife First was quick, cheap and professional. Thanks Danny.

    Booked my first excursion with Tenerife First Excursions and would 100% reccomend them to anyone. The booking process was simple from start to finish, communication was excellent even when last minute changes were needed. I booked online but had communication via WhatsApp. I have always used other booking agents but I will 100% use them next time I am in Tenerife. 🫶🩷 It 100% is blue skys palm trees and everything else in between and I absolutely love it. ❤️
