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.

    15 pilot whales and 4 dolphines Our skipper, Patrick has plenty of sea experience after 25 years fishing in Alaska :-) He knows the habitat very well and navigated us to see dolphins and whales from very close! This is a sailboat, but it runs on an engine. There are comfortable places to sit. You get modern full-face masks for snorkeling. We stopped in a small bay and we saw a lot of fish (they enjoy feeding).Be aware that the waves are high even with moderate wind.

    Came across them by chance on the way to the beach but Matty was extremely helpful and organised jet skiing for us on short notice.

    Would definitely use them again if we were to come back to Tenerife.

    Superb and humbling whale watching experience Maco Yacht whale watching cruise from Porta Colon captained by Alex was a FANTASTIC experience. 8 of us and we kept away from the big noisy catamarans and had wonderful close up viewing of Pilot Whales and their young with no engines at close range. Alex was v knowledgable and we thoroughly enjoyed 3 hours at sea with him. Highly recommend this small boat experience.
