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.

    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

We booked with particia who was very helpful and knowledgeable, she gave us lots of information of other excursions that she had personally experienced and although we didn't have enough time left to book anything we will definitely book more excursions with her when we return to tenerife soon. Well done Patricia, a true 🌟

    Best boat trip I’ve done a few boat trips to see the whales & dolphins over the years and this has been my favourite. The boat is very stand out and there were only about 14 of us on it with plenty of room. The captain was very friendly and lots of fun. It felt more like a private charter than a packed tourist trip. Thank you

    The best customer service A massive thank you to Daniel at the Las Americas shop for his helping booking and sorting out our trips on our holiday. We booked 3 trips with him , on the day of our dolphin and whale watching tour my daughter was unwell and at 8am Daniel was helping me to get the date changed so we didn’t miss it. 10/10 customer service from him. Thanks again , would recommend to anyone on holiday in Tenerife and I personally can’t wait to use Tenerife First Excursions again.
