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.

    !!!Merece la pena!!! Hemos pasado unas horas magníficas hoy 5/10/21 en esta excursión de avistamiento de ballenas y delfines.!Que gran conducción de Xabi.Nos permitió "sentir" ese balanceo grato y el juego de ver las olas q se hacían más grandes a nuestro paso.Era la sensación perfecta para sentirte en vacaciones.Aunque la excursión durara 3 horas.Todo estaba preparado con calma.Y el con su actitud,su información precisa,entretenida,nos ayudaba más a vivir esta sensación.Capte q el único barco cercano...cuando llegamos a la zona de familias de ballenas...que apagó hasta el motor,fue el nuestro.Eso hizo q al poco se dejaran ver con más frecuencia las ballenas.!Genial!Nos encantó la calma de la excursión.La mayoría del grupo se lanzó al agua...y regresaron con calma para comer lo que nos ofrecían como Tour(oportuno,sencillo y sandwiches sabrosos).Pudimos navegar ratos y a la par sentir que el tiempo pasaba con calma!! Repetiremos con familia q vive en Bélgica a fines de Abril ...y no pudieron esta vez,por la inquietud de erupción Volcan de La Palma.GRACIAS.Ximena y Luis

    Perfect end to our holiday Amazing boat trip, so worth the money! We saw plenty of whales, dolphins and even turtles. Our lovely boat driver knew exactly where to look and seemed just as excited as us himself. We even got to go for a swim in a shallower part of the sea. Was a really lovely relaxed trip with a plentiful supply of soft drinks and beers. Unfortunately the vegan option was just a box of (very very) plain salad. But that wasn’t a big part of the trip so just make sure you don’t get on the boat starving if you’re vegan!

    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.

    An amazing night in Tenerife with Stars & Ski Picked us up on time- The dinner was nice, simple Spanish food. They were very organised and everything was done properly, really appreciate their knowledge of stars and ski , felt so happy did this, something different and very interesting! Most importantly was freezing cold so glad they told us in advance to wear very warm clothing, please everyone who wants to do this remember to have few layers of cloths to able to enjoy the night otherwise it would be very uncomfortable. I would personally do this again in another visit to see the ski at another time of the year ,,, thank you so such an amazing experience, worth every penny!
