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.

    SUNSET View and sunset was amazing! Nice and smooth quad bike drive up the mountain with multiple stops to talk about the mountain and the history of eruptions. Photographer took 500+ photos of everyone for all to download. Was the best experience of my life. If you get the chance do it!

    Full day guided tour of La Palma visiting the erupting volcano What a great day out. First thoughts was that it was a bit morbid viewing peoples misery when they have lost their homes . But in doing this tour, I feel we were able to assist the local economy which is being affected by the reduction in numbers of tourist due to the volcano eruption. The ship sailed promptly at 08:30 from los Christianos arriving at 10:15 at Santa Cruz. Stopped off at 2 great view points on the journey across the island heading to Tazacorte where we had a three course meal. The coach guide was very knowledgeable and pointing out things of interest. Eventually we arrived at the viewing point overlooking the volcano and lava streams. What a levelling experience, sadly seeing houses half covered in lava. Then off back to Santa Cruz for the ferry back to los Christianos arriving back at 19:15. This was a really enjoyable day out. We booked through Tenerife First excursions after seeing positive reviews. It was easy enough to do online. We were in touch with Kim who made everything feel no trouble at all. I would definitely use Tenerife first excursions again👍👍. They are very professional and know there stuff, thanks for your help Kim.

    The highlight of our trip This was such an incredible experience! Daniel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and geography of the island, and he and Rico were brilliant guides as we were on the quads. They tailored the trip based on the weather conditions and we were able to see the most beautiful sunset in a relatively private spot. Daniel also took some beautiful photos which were very reasonably priced. Honestly, this whole experience could have cost a lot more and still been worth the money. Once we got back down, Emily drove us back and was also lovely to chat to. Would definitely recommend!

    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.
