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.

    Water fun galore! What an incredible experience from start to finish! We dealt with the lovely Laura who couldn’t have been more friendly and knowledgable on what we could do as a family during our time in Tenerife. Our younger boys loved the jet skis, adrenaline-fueled fun was had all around! We also booked Siam Park and a whale watching trip through Tenerife First Excursions. We come every year and now know who we can rely on for great service and the best excursions! Great company, and Laura is an incredible asset!

    Booked jet skis, water park, and paragliding through first excursions. Great service and epic experiences. Unfortunately the paragliding was cancelled because of the wind but we’ll definitely do this next time we’re around! Highly recommended

    Service above and beyond As Daniel helped keep us sane through lockdown I thought it only fair to book my excursions with TFE. I am severely sight impaired so my options for excursions is a little limited but Mike in the LC branch went above and beyond to make sure my trips were the best experiance possible - checking and rechecking the best possible date for the Tiede by night trip so I could see as many stars as possible and sorting a most excellent jeep safari to Tiede and Masca. The level of service you get from TFE is second to none and I would never even think of using anyone else for my excursions. Thanks a million, guys ans Keep it Country!

    Uur jetskiën Opgehaald bij het hotel, leuke mensen! Op de jetski een korte efficiënte uitleg en daarna gelijk het water op, heerlijk zelf mogen varen. Mooie omgeving en een fantastische ervaring. Ook zijn we daarna weer netjes terug naar het hotel gebracht.

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.
    Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.
    Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!

    Fantastic Heb deze trip het laatste jaar al 4 x gedaan. Telkens met andere vrienden. Altijd heel leuke beleving. Altijd verschillende vissen gezien, dolfijnen, walvissen, schildpadden. De crew Letty en Fabricio zijn héél professioneel, heel vriendelijk en gedienstig…. Heel gezellige sfeer. De boot is ook super mooi, en wat voor mij een heel groot pluspunt is…. Max 12 personen. Heel aangenaam om zoveel ruimte te hebben. Echte aanrader 👍🏻👍🏻!
