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.

    Popped into the las Americas office 2 days ago to book a couple of activities, quad bikes and the jet skis . Also Siam park which we got an amazing deal on all 3 , we was greeted by a guy called Daniel top guy helped us out with everything very polite . Unfortunately during our Siam park trip I broken my foot which had stopped me taking part in the other two activities, after speaking to Daniel after so short notice he personally issued me a partial refund which was very good of him as it was so short notice for me to cancel . Much appreciated I recommend 100% theses guy

    Booked a few excursions. But had an issue with one that didn’t quite give us the experience we were sold. How ever went back to the guys at First Excursions and they couldn’t have been more professional and helpful. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Wouldn’t book an excursion anywhere else. Top quality service!

    Pleasant boat ride Spacious boat, did not get seasick. Did see some whales. Fun getting in the water, but Tenerife isn’t really a snorkeling destination, so nothing to see. Lunch was substantial, not just snacks like other tour options. The captain was interesting lol. Very thick Italian accent and his voice does not project, so everyone had trouble hearing and/or understanding him, and he’d get progressively frustrated when he repeated himself. This is not to say he wasn’t nice, he still kept everyone’s glasses full and was helpful whenever anyone had questions.

    Amazing service from start to finish. Very good prices for very good trips. Roxie I dealt with for my trips and she was brilliant. Always kept me in line with all the information I needed and was only a text away if I needed her help. Well done guys, you've built yourself a great team and work place between you all. I will definitely book with you guys again in the future.
