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.

    Richie & top class customer experience We visited on our first couples holiday Sep 24 to the new shop next to chill box in playa de las americas. Richie was absolutely spot on. Didn’t have a tui rep in our hotel. First day here visited him and booked all our trips for the week, Siam park, loro park, helicopter tour and jet skis. Really looked after us with info and communication was class. Felt secure booking and a very trustworthy person/company as we always second guess the trips we book but reassured everything will be taken care of. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting to book through Richie/Tenerife First Excursions and will be back next time for sure. Thank you very much!

    We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim!
    I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday!
    It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us!
    We booked loads of different trips!
    3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s!
    Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it!
    10/10 service and friendliness

    Top quality team. I would 100% recommend The team were professional and friendly and we felt like we were in safe hands. Everything was organised perfectly. We were picked up on time at the hotel by a friendly staff member and taken to the quads. We were given warm jackets and was explained everything in detail. I felt very safe on the drive which was a full 3 hours. I have to do a shout out to Rico who took us out on the quads. He was fun and really friendly giving us lots of local information. The views were just incredible. I highly recommend this company for the sunset drive. 5 star

We took the boat out for 2 hours and did karting trev gave us a deal on both and was absolutely amazing. We actually ended up missing out bus to take us to karting and Trev went above and beyond to make sure we could still get there and do the activity! We had an amazing time all thanks to Tenerife first excursions🫶

    Excellent service I previously rated my jet skiing experience as poor but want to add this is through no fault of first excursions or the jet ski company and their customer service is second to none they do not accept your money and forget about you they are with you every step of the way to ensure your experience of excursions is 10/10. I have previously booked through them for sunset buggies, Siam park, boats, jet skis etc and have never had any issue all been brilliant. Tenerife first excursions is a friendly trusted reliable team to book through.
