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.

    Informative and great value A fantastic experience. I was slightly concerned we would be cornered in to buying v expensive drinks and snacks but the cafe we stopped at was very reasonably priced. Drinks started at 1 euro and a slice of delicious cake was 2 euros. The trip was really informative and the stops were well paced. I took my two boys who are 8 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't get bored. We took a picnic and ye that at the longest stop. You do need warm clothes, plenty of layers but it wasn't too cold.

    myself and my family have stayed in los cristianos for 14 days.
    in those days we had booked a few excursions
    the water park
    the zoo
    a boat trip.
    we rented a double scooter as im heavily pregnant.

    everything we booked we dealt with dan, nothing was too much trouble.
    i had a few problems with the scooter which needed to be swapped 3 times, dan personally took the scooter to the provider to make sure the next one we got was in working order, as i say nothing was too much trouble.
    we highly recommend ‘TENERIFE FIRST EXCURSIONS’

    Self drive boat - 3 hour trip This is definitely worth booking! If we came back again to Tenerife we would definitely go again. The instructions for the boat are very easy to follow and the hosts were lovely people. They also provided a speaker, various swimming equipment (snorkels, flippers and underwater jet etc) as well as snacks, water and a cool box for your own use which we found was a very nice touch! Would definitely recommend buying and taking sea sickness tablets before you go however, as the sea is unpredictable especially in such a small boat. This is obviously no fault of the company and we still had fun none the less! Thank you guys!

    Jetski experience - an hour we'll remember for a long time! More memories made after a wonderful hour out on the water. Trip sorted by Kim at Tenerife First Excursions, who was great. Ski company reassured my nervous teen daughter today and she was absolutely buzzing after the experience, which helped tackle her concerns over being in open water too, as we jumped off half way through for a lovely swim. Took out 3 singles and were joined by a lovely couple on a double jetski. They fell off twice but they clambered back on and had a brilliant time. My son left me behind as I hung on for my life and feared I'd fall off. I got better as time went on but even my daughter had caught me up in the end and was turning with confidence. I worried about the experience but need not have done as we were put at ease and the session felt safe and well away from others on the water.

    Wow, what an experience Allan & I had today. Spoke to Sarah about my first dive and she booked our dive with an excellent company. Great instructors, very helpful and gave us lots of confidence. We’ve paid for photos and video, can’t wait to see them. Thank you again Sarah. Highly recommend Tenerife First Excursions. 🐠🐟

    Met Daniel and The MacMaster on a very windy December morning as they were on route for breakfast and ourselves to meet Kim. What a friendly bunch of people made us feel so welcome.
    Had a great chat with Kim who is very professional and certainly went out her way to help us. We booked the sunset tour with the star gazing for my 40+2 birthday on the Friday. what an experience. When we come back to Tenerife we will certainly be back for a catch up and rebook it again. Definitely a trip to do. I won’t give any spoilers on it but get it booked up.
