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 have been visiting Tenerife for over 25 years and thought we had done all the worthwhile trips - how wrong could we be! Kim at Tenerife first Excursions was brilliant when we spoke to her about an evening trip up Teide, and convinced us to try the buggy trip to watch the sunset on Teide. Wow wow wow!! If you love sunsets above clouds and mountains this is the trip to do. We had an amazing experience thanks to our fantastic guide with Buggy Canarias, plenty of photos taken of a beautiful part of the island at sunset.Thanks Kim and TFE - we would not have tried this if not for the amazing review you gave. We’ve shared our experience with family and will definitely be booking again when we are next out here next year 🩷

    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

    Wonderful time Mattie was amazing he managed to fit me and my wife in a day before, kept us up to date when the booking had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions and slot us in again the next day. On the day of the quad bikes the staff there were very nice and spoke English which helped! The excursions itself was a very good experience and very informative. We really enjoyed the off road part of it. Also got mini pizzas at the end of it which was really nice. Thank you to everyone at Tenerife First Excursions!!

    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.
