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

    Trustworthy, competitive pricing, honest Brilliant customer service, they don’t push anything on you, open and honest about everything.Listen to what you’re after and then make suggestions,We booked - Banana boats, Tiede 5 hour night sky star gazing with a meal, Ragnarok Viking ship, Siam park and Loro Parque, very competitive and reasonable prices.Even when a mistake was made they solved instantly and it did not affect our holiday! This is difference booking with a rogue company and one with a good reputation and staff!Dan you and your staff are brilliant! We will be back next year!

    Absolute Empfehlung!! Wenn ihr was buchen wollt, kommt unbedingt hier her! Wir wurden echt top beraten, Angebot ist top und die Preise sind echt fair. Unsere private Segeltour z.B. war der Hammer - es war soooo schön, diese wunderschönen Wale aus nächster Nähe zu sehen, ohne sich das Boot mit 50 anderen Touris teilen zu müssen. On top: leider habe ich mir das Bein im Urlaub gebrochen und wir konnten die Hälfte unserer gebuchten Aktivitäten nicht mehr antreten - wir haben 100% Geld zurück bekommen, das ist mehr als fair. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder :) Danke für alles, Kim <3

    Best experience Cannot recommend this company enough! We were offered great promotions and discounts at the time of booking. We booked a number of activities with Lisa who made sure we had an amazing time in Tenerife. Her activity recommendations have made our trip the best experience so far. I can truly say that the staff are really there for their customers even outside of business hours. We unfortunately lost our tickets for one of the activities and realized it only last minute, Lisa has went above and beyond to get us our tickets outside of business hours and on her day off!! Not many other companies or staff would give such an outstanding service. Would highly recommend booking your activities with Lisa, shes really helpful and really cares for her customers.
