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.

    Top quality team. I would 100% recommend The team were professional and friendly and we felt like we were in safe hands. Everything was organised perfectly. We were picked up on time at the hotel by a friendly staff member and taken to the quads. We were given warm jackets and was explained everything in detail. I felt very safe on the drive which was a full 3 hours. I have to do a shout out to Rico who took us out on the quads. He was fun and really friendly giving us lots of local information. The views were just incredible. I highly recommend this company for the sunset drive. 5 star

    We booked a 4.5h whale + dolphin watching tour through TFE, and Sue was very helpful with all the details. The tour ended up happening via Freebird catamarans (dunno if directly or using their boats), and I was a little skeptical since there were old reviews of bad experiences, but our trip was very pleasant. We managed to snag one of the first sunbeds (first come basis when you board the boat for 25EUR, very much recommend this), so we got to enjoy a beautiful view of the island and Los Gigantes, and a ride on the waves. The captain said the ride is a bit choppy, but it didnt seem too bad - all our stuff stayed in place, just make sure to put something heavy on your towels if you get up so the wind doesnt blow them away. We were served a nice rice+chicken lunch, and had access to free drinks. The crew entertained us with excellent music selection, and on the way back we managed to watch pilot whales for about 20 minutes, quite close at times (captn said 99% chance of seeing whales when we went in November). Our only "complaint" is that we wish more time was spent with the animals, but I think we just need a different tour for that - this was 90% relaxing, sightseeing, and swimming (which we still thoroughly recommend)

    Echt een aanrader. Een prachtige ervaring. Het duurt drie uur, eerst gingen we de zee in en zagen al meteen een paar dolfijnen die met ons mee zwommen. Daarna de walvissen gezien. Wel op afstand, want die lagen te slapen. Helaas konden we de schildpad die in een net verwikkeld was niet redden. De bemanning had wel zijn best gedaan. Een pluim voor deze geweldige jongens.

    What can I say I contacted this company last minute after watching a few of their YouTube videos. At short notice kim was able to arrange a whole 3 day jam packed with excursions for us! I would highly recommend this excursion company over any other due to the level of customer service I received from late night messages to arranging scooter hire within 10mins of me messaging! Will most certainly be using you again please keep up the good work!
