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.

    Lovely boat trip and a fantastic experience We had a great trip on the Atlantic Star and saw two different family pods of Pilot whales, including a really large male swimming right next to the boat. The captain and our host were really knowledgeable and friendly. They made our 8year old feel really comfortable when feeling a little worried about the trip. We missed out on seeing any dolphins but that is just the chance that you take. We’d recommend the trip to everyone
