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.

    Kim was Amazing - would highly recommend you book through Kim at TFE! Where do I start! Kim was absolutely amazing. Upon arriving at the office we were made to feel very welcome. From the go we knew we had made the right choice booking with TFE. There was no pressure, all options were given to us and we were enabled to make the best decisions based of Kim’s knowledge and information of excursions on the island. We booked Siam Park VIP, a sunset boat cruise and the jet skis. Unfortunately a family member fell poorly in the day of the boat trip and we couldn’t make it - Kim was very kind and helped us rearrange same day no fussing. All 3 excursions were amazing and from start to finish Kim was a great help! When we come back, this will be our first stop on the island as we know Kim will take care of everything we need to make our time as special and enjoyable as possible! Thanks again Kim!

    Thank you to Kim Lory for helping me arrange our helicopter ride. she even let me pay in installments as it is one of the more expensive excursions but it was worth every penny!
    my children and I had the best time, the views were breath taking! we even took our Grandma's ashes so that she finally got her wish to fly in a helicopter, a very emotional and beautiful experience ❤️

    Best excursion place We always use these for all our excursions they’re brilliant used them the past two years now, mark and Dan at the los Cristianos shop are both amazing and helpful they always help us find the best things to do while over there, both friendly and always up for a chat too, we’ve booked jet skis, volcano buggy tour, paragliding, loro park, kayaks, quad volcano tour and loved every single one, we’ve also rented the e scooters which are cheaper than the ones you can use from around the island that are usually park and go, always give us a nice little deal if you book multiple trips at the same time too which is good, definitely recommend using this company for all your activities, hopefully see you next year guys too book more

    Top quality team. I would 100% recommend The team were professional and friendly and we felt like we were in safe hands. Everything was organised perfectly. We were picked up on time at the hotel by a friendly staff member and taken to the quads. We were given warm jackets and was explained everything in detail. I felt very safe on the drive which was a full 3 hours. I have to do a shout out to Rico who took us out on the quads. He was fun and really friendly giving us lots of local information. The views were just incredible. I highly recommend this company for the sunset drive. 5 star

    Best by far Great experience, Great boat, great host. We started out on the boat and was greeted by Richard the captain, he explained what we may or may not see and started to serve the drinks (all included). We had been going around half hour and then spotted some pilot whales, great to see these creatures in their environment. Also spotted dolphins whilst heading to a nice bay where we moored for some food.You could swim here jumping of the boat and the water was very warm.We were served chicken, rice and veg and it was very nice.After a while we set off back to our dock and the end of the trip.Richard is a top class host and captain......Thanks for a top class experience
