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.

    Fantastic experience & great staff Highly recommend this trip, as friends or especially as a couple! The King brothers were so friendly & informative about the volcano and sights. The quads are so fun & easy to drive. Emily was also fantastic & went over and above her call of duty to ensure my sister & I had a great experience. The views are stunning! Wear something super warm though as it’s freezing the higher up the mountain you go!

    Kim from Tenerife First Excursions helped me to arrange a surprise private charter boat trip for our holiday. She was incredibly helpful and gave loads of options. I changed plans last minute for the return transfer and she quickly worked to change the transfer.Cant ask for any better service. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Can't rate Tenerife First Excursions highly enough.

    Excellent customer service would definitely recommend . We booked 3 excursions with Kim who was lovely and very helpful.

    We booked a helicopter ride that was amazing best thing I have ever done well worth it . On the morning that we was due to go we was unable to get a taxi as all held up due to a accident on the motorway called up and mattie answered and offer to come and collect us and take us there so we didn’t missed ……… excellent customer service.

    We also did Siam park and a boat trip which both was really good and at a really good price

    Will definitely be back to book again when next on the island

    Nicht 08/15 Das Boot war sehr gepflegt. Die Aufteilung, das Platzverhältnis mit den anderen Touristen war sehr gut und nicht beengend. Das Essen( Paella und Hähnchenbrust) war noch warm und sehr lecker. Zudem gab es gekühlte Getränke alkoholisch und alkoholfrei nach Wahl und soviel man mochte. ein tolles Highlight neben den gesehenen Delphinen war das Schwimmen im Meer! Die Reise / das Event ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.
