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.

    Excellent service, excellent range of excursions and a very friendly, personal, bespoke vibe. Unlike many excursion operators, TFE only sell deals on the best quality tours which they have vetted personally so others might be a couple of Euros cheaper but you are taking the risk of encountering lower standards. You get what you pay for.Dan the amiable Irish owner takes his personal reputation very seriously and his staff are also excellent. They will do you a package deal discount if you book three or more trips. Couldn’t recommend them more.

    Great Boat, Great Day and Great Captain. We had a brilliant afternoon as a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 11 and 15. The boat is fab and as they limit the amount of people to 15 or 16, there is loads of room to have your own space. Our trip was full but as you can see from the photo it almost looks empty which to us eas the appeal and therefore don’t mind paying a bit extra. Drinks were free flowing and you could help yourself from the cooler. Lunch was also very tasty. The Captain was great fun, very knowledgeable and made sure we were looked after. I would definitely recommend this trip.

    Water fun galore! What an incredible experience from start to finish! We dealt with the lovely Laura who couldn’t have been more friendly and knowledgable on what we could do as a family during our time in Tenerife. Our younger boys loved the jet skis, adrenaline-fueled fun was had all around! We also booked Siam Park and a whale watching trip through Tenerife First Excursions. We come every year and now know who we can rely on for great service and the best excursions! Great company, and Laura is an incredible asset!
