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.

    Full day guided tour of La Palma visiting the erupting volcano What a great day out. First thoughts was that it was a bit morbid viewing peoples misery when they have lost their homes . But in doing this tour, I feel we were able to assist the local economy which is being affected by the reduction in numbers of tourist due to the volcano eruption. The ship sailed promptly at 08:30 from los Christianos arriving at 10:15 at Santa Cruz. Stopped off at 2 great view points on the journey across the island heading to Tazacorte where we had a three course meal. The coach guide was very knowledgeable and pointing out things of interest. Eventually we arrived at the viewing point overlooking the volcano and lava streams. What a levelling experience, sadly seeing houses half covered in lava. Then off back to Santa Cruz for the ferry back to los Christianos arriving back at 19:15. This was a really enjoyable day out. We booked through Tenerife First excursions after seeing positive reviews. It was easy enough to do online. We were in touch with Kim who made everything feel no trouble at all. I would definitely use Tenerife first excursions again👍👍. They are very professional and know there stuff, thanks for your help Kim.

    Amazing The yacht trip was amazing and totally worth it. Patrick was so friendly from the start and very knowledgable on the dolphins and whales. Patrick provided us with drinks (soft and alcoholic) throughout the trip, as well as preparing lunch. Given the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim at one of the local beaches. Overall very luxurious experience for an amazing price - would definitely recommend

    We booked a Boom Trike trip with Tenerife First Excursions in November 2021. Boom Trikes took us on a coastal run to Los Gigantes and inland into the mountains where we had wonderful views towards la Gomera and across to Tiede. We went to places we wouldn’t normally go made even better on the Boom trike bike. Would recommend this trip for the views and excitement of the bike. Take a jacket though! We booked through Kim at Tenerife First Excursions who arranged pick up from our Appartments. Kim was so helpful and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks Kim. 👍👍
