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.

    Holiday trips Booked a catamaran trip and the sunset stargazing tour with mark,pickup from hotel for stargazing and a short walk to pickup point for the catamaran,boat ride went great drinks and lunch included,stopped to admire some pilot whales,great trip and experience,sadly the stargazing was called off due to cloud cover(apparently very uncommon,only 10 or so times a year it happens)it’s agreed that if this does happen you get half your money back and a money off voucher if you can’t rejoin it on another day.had to go back and spoke with Patricia,once we sorted out the booking day and found receipts Patricia sorted out the refund(voucher gets emailed)very promptly,all round a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again when I hopefully get to return to Tenerife.

    Buggy ride Went on the off road buggy experience and it was awesome 😀 very dusty as you're on dirt tracks but an amazing thrill. You have to drive on the roads to get there, then blast around the dirt tracks before driving around Las Americas on your way back to base. I highly recommend it for anyone of any age (I'm 55!) And not expensive either 😍

    Fun family day out on a catamaran Boat was huge and plenty of space to move around . Staff are so considerate and try to find Dolphins via radar and calling all other boats . They make sure you really do get to see a pod of dolphins or whales !

    We have been visiting Tenerife for over 25 years and thought we had done all the worthwhile trips - how wrong could we be! Kim at Tenerife first Excursions was brilliant when we spoke to her about an evening trip up Teide, and convinced us to try the buggy trip to watch the sunset on Teide. Wow wow wow!! If you love sunsets above clouds and mountains this is the trip to do. We had an amazing experience thanks to our fantastic guide with Buggy Canarias, plenty of photos taken of a beautiful part of the island at sunset.Thanks Kim and TFE - we would not have tried this if not for the amazing review you gave. We’ve shared our experience with family and will definitely be booking again when we are next out here next year 🩷

    Viking Tour Amazing service recommending which excursions would suit us best. The Viking tour was amazing fun we went on a quieter day and the staff were so lovely and accommodating. Much more exciting than a standard catamaran tour and a much smaller group so less overwhelming and crowded so actually able to enjoy the views and sea life.
