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.

    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.

    Memories for a lifetime with Night Skies Tenerife Night Skies Tenerife gave us the most amazing experience on Tenerife! You get so much more with this tour than you’d think from the Trip Advisor explanation - least of not is the energy of Craig and the knowledge of Kieran. Between dinner and star gazing we saw an amazing sunset over La Palma from the Corona forest, complete with Cava and photographs by Craig. Craig helped us learn all about the island on the way to the sunset spot and to the star gazing spot, which my husband and I loved. Once we arrived for star gazing, Kieran helped us learn all about our solar system, the life cycle of stars, and the constellations while allowing us to see what he was teaching through the microscope (we even got to see two deep space galaxies!)Do not miss this experience when you’re on the island, but do specifically book Night Skies. Their service and knowledge (including giving you the photos they take for free and not charging for them at the end of the night) cannot be beat.Thank you for adding this amazing experience to our honeymoon Kieran, Craig, and the full night skies crew!

    An amazing night in Tenerife with Stars & Ski Picked us up on time- The dinner was nice, simple Spanish food. They were very organised and everything was done properly, really appreciate their knowledge of stars and ski , felt so happy did this, something different and very interesting! Most importantly was freezing cold so glad they told us in advance to wear very warm clothing, please everyone who wants to do this remember to have few layers of cloths to able to enjoy the night otherwise it would be very uncomfortable. I would personally do this again in another visit to see the ski at another time of the year ,,, thank you so such an amazing experience, worth every penny!

    Tenerife First Excursions is First for a Reason! This is the ONLY company to go with if you are planning excursions in Tenerife as they put customers first! 👏 I booked the TEIDE+ICOD+GARACHICO tour to better know Tenerife and the customer service I received here from Kim and Kayleigh was exemplary!!! 👏They made sure I knew where I was going and even arranged a ride for me to the stop to catch the bus. Communication was excellent especially when I ran into a problem with the guide from Island tours that was leading this bus tour. The scenery was breathtaking so don’t miss out on what this volcanic island has to offer with Tenerife First Excursions!

    A brilliant well priced tour We booked the “ Premium All Inclusive Whale & Dolphin Watching Experience” with these guys and as soon as we had booked they were in communication detailing where to meet and what to bring. This was done by WhatsApp and email which worked really well.The yacht was lovely and we had around 11 people in our group so there was loads of room for us all to spread out.There are seats at the back of the yacht if you prefer or you can sit along the side and front to get the full experience.Our captain was wonderful, explained everything to us and we just chilled as we sailed out of the port.You definitely need sunscreen, you are provided with waters, sodas and beers with a sandwich if you want it.At first we were lucky enough to see dolphins which was amazing and then further out saw baby whales with their mom. Was incredible, I’ll never forget it.Then we sailed to a quiet cove where some people got in for a swim and we just caught some sun.Then a slow cruise back along the coast to port, all in all 3 hrs.Really recommend this cruise, was around €50 each and well worth the money.Will do another tour with them when we return to Tenerife.One thing; they were very clear at the start that We might not see everything and as it’s nature, that can’t be helped. Also you only stay near a group of animals for 5 mins before moving away which felt enough time to see them without it being too much.
