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.

    Perfect service. Helpful in recommending activities and sorting them out at a great price. Quad Biking up Mount Teide at sunset was an incredible experience and one we wouldn't have done if not for Daniels' recommendation. Fantastic people and service.

    Best sunset tour I booked this tour with Tenerife first Excursions having read other people's reviews myself. They were not wrong. This tour was exceptional from beginning to end. Hannah sue and Andrea were so helpful with me booking for a large group and I felt totally confident paying online before my trip. The tour itself was just breath taking. I have never seen such a beautiful sunset. Julien and Marco at JLD Quads were such lovely friendly lads with a perfect balance of fun and safety. We felt totally confident on the quads, even on our way back in the dark. They have everything you could think of covered and the photos they did for us during the tour were amazing. They even went to the trouble of having suprise cake and bubbly for me on our return as I had mentioned that I was booking the tour as a 60th Birthday celebration with my adult kids. We all agreed after that it was one of the best family tours we have ever done. 5 stars. 10/10! Also these were one of the few companies offering a tranfer to and from the meeting point which was a major bonus and the tranfer was in a lovely comfortable air conditioned mini bus and pick up was exactly when they said it would be and very easy communication with the lovely driver.

    Really helpful Many hanks to Sarah who helped us with this trip. We needed a calm boat due to recent surgery so she suggested the catamaran. We plumped for the 4.5hr trip and were not disappointed. She also told us how to get there and back and where to get taxis and buses from as we were too late for their transport, but it wasn’t a problem. The trip itself was great. Beautiful scenery, pilot whales, dolphins and flying fish and a chance to swim in the sea.
