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.

    Experiencia inolvidable Patrick, el capitán, hizo que la experiencia fuese mucho más “exclusiva” ya que se encargó de tener todo tipo de detalles durante las tres horas a bordo de Galatea. Pudimos ver una familia de calderones y darnos un baño en el puertito, una zona con aguas cristalinas perfecta para hacer snorkel. ¡Totalmente recomendable!

    Fantastic whale watching trip Fantastic trip Unexpectedly had the boat to ourselves as a family of four. Friendly skipper who explained about the whales and other sea life. We saw a mother and young whale, and several others. Lovely refreshing swim in the hippy cove. Great views of the island and mountains on the way. Recommended.

    Absolutely amazing team, definitely recommend if you’re wanting to go on some excursions or do the water and animal parks while in Tenerife. Stress free go and book with Tenerife First Excursions, they give you all the details pay and then they sort everything out for you from their you just turn up. Had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Kim who was so welcoming and gave us all the information we needed when we told her what we was looking to do. Competitive prices compared to all the others you see and they definitely only work along side the best companies. We booked Jet skiing, Siam park and the monkey park. Even better that Siam park and the monkey park are open tickets so you can use them on whichever day you decide no deciding beforehand. When we’re back in Tenerife (which we will be as it’s our favourite destination) will definitely go back and book with any of the team as they are brilliant. Thank you to all the team but as I say especially Kim who we saw at booking.
