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.

    We were a group of 9 and wanted to do multiple activities. Lisa Fay was great to deal with and gave us good info on everything, Lisa took care of all our bookings which included whale watching, snorkelling, jet ski tour, mount teide stargazing and our favourite was Siam park. Would highly recommend these guys for a smooth and easy booking.

    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.

    Made our holiday The most amazing experience. Pick up was easy and on time, you then drive to the restaurant. Food is incredibly basic but you don’t go to an excursion like this for food. We then went up into the national parks before sunset to enjoy a glass of cava and take pictures above the cloud line. From there, we went up further to observe the night sky- no spoilers. Incredible experience, the best thing we did this holiday. The guys are so knowledgeable, answer any of your questions, and help you see through the telescopes. You can tell they are so passionate about their jobs, it is their hobby too. Don’t hesitate. Book this if you’re in Tenerife.

    A great booking experience. Easy booking process for Siam and Loro Park with a better deal on the boat trips than any other shop I had visited. Tenerife First Excursions made booking trips extremely easy and the most reasonably priced in the area.

    If you are wanting any general information or trips then give these guys a visit, they really know what they are doing! Thanks 😁
