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.

    Mike and Ross at Tenerife First Excursions are absolutely fantastic - they are both friendly and professional.

    Both Mike and Ross speak perfect English and Spanish. They really do their best to find fun activities at fair prices. I'm delighted with the customer service experience.

    I'd also like to give a special mention to Matty for being a great manager. Matty always prioritises customer satisfied, so I am confident that if you book an activity through Mike, Ross or Matty, you will have a lot of fun at a fair price with a positive customer experience.

    I will definitely come back to Tenerife First Excursions when I am back in Tenerife!

    A fantastic boat trip out to see whales We were interested in taking some excursions but didn’t really know what we wanted. Daniel went through options thoroughly ggwithout being pushy and we settled on a whale and dolphin boat trip. It was a wonderful experience. Just 9 of us on the boat in total. We saw whales and sea turtles and then stopped for a swim near a lovely little beach. A perfect addition to any holiday and definitely worth every penny.

    Great boat trip - we saw the whales & dolphins We had a lovely time in the Opera 60, unlike other boat trips there was loads of space and only about 14 guests. We got to see the whales & dolphins and swim in a lovely bay. The Captain was knowledgeable and a little eccentric, he provided drinks and served a lovely lunch of chicken, rice & salad. Having done other boat trips in Tenerife, this is my favourite due to it being so intimate - other boats can pack you in like sardines. This boat on the choppy waves did make some a little sea sick! I’d do this trip again and again :0)
