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.

    Highly recommend After seeing them in tiktok we decided to visit to book our trip and they were so helpful and friendly! Really welcoming and no pressure, happy to chat and give tips and ideas. Think it was Richie that helped us at the las americas branch and he was a lovely guy. Our coach was modern and clean and not too busy and all went smoothly on the journey and during our visit to loro parque

    2 hour jet ski safari Today we went on the 2 hour jet ski safari which was booked and arranged by Sarah she was absolutely brilliant organised pick up for us. When we arrived at flash jet ski we was kindly greeted by a lady unfortunately I didn’t get her name but she was so lovely and reassuring, the 2 gentlemen who took us out was great as well. Has a fabulous time!! Went on a double jet ski driving is definitely more fun than being on the back 🫣!!! Thank you so much Sarah for arranging this for us and thank you for arranging Siam park and freebird dolphin and whale watching experience!!
