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.

    Amazing boat trip This was such a lovely boat ride! Patrick was an amazing guide and super pleasant to be around. We saw pilot whales and a few turtles. The boat does go quite slow, so something to keep in mind if you get sea sick easily as it was very bumpy!

    Awesome, WOW!! I booked through Sarah at the Los Christianos branch, she made the whole process of choosing which activities I wanted to do and then the actual booking so easy, this is my 3rd time of booking through this branch and I won't go through anyone else when I visit Tenerife now. They are always most helpful, friendly, and non-pushy for a sale company i have used. I've done the dolphins and whale watching before and this trip the Mustang tiede tour and 1000M paragliding experience and I want to do both again I loved it so much!! Just WOW! Thank you Sarah!

    Guter Quadeinsteigerkurs Alles ingesamt erfreulich. Wer noch keine Erfahrungen mit Quads hat, kann sich auf ein gutes Training freuen. Die Quads lassen sich leucht fahren, da sie automatisch schalten .. also einfach fahren. Dennoch unterschätzt die Sache nicht .. vorsichtig fahren .. 2 drei Stellen waren nicht ganz einfach für Anfänger. Lasst Euch nicht von Touristen ärgern, die behaupten, dass die Bikes Mist wären. Kleinere Benzinmotoren können schnell mal absaufen oder andres .. Wenns garnicht geht findet ihr mit den freundlichen Team sicher eine Lösung, dass ihr an einem andren Tag noch mal fahren dürf. Die Leute sind nett und bemüht. Mit nur meckern, wurde noch nie was erreicht.

    Dealt with Kim, five star service from the staff offering beverages organising excursions, they even booked us excursions they’ve never seen. Would highly recommend to anyone especially anyone from uk that’s not been to Tenerife before.
