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.

    Awesome, WOW!! I booked through Sarah at the Los Christianos branch, she made the whole process of choosing which activities I wanted to do and then the actual booking so easy, this is my 3rd time of booking through this branch and I won't go through anyone else when I visit Tenerife now. They are always most helpful, friendly, and non-pushy for a sale company i have used. I've done the dolphins and whale watching before and this trip the Mustang tiede tour and 1000M paragliding experience and I want to do both again I loved it so much!! Just WOW! Thank you Sarah!

    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!

    I popped into their Pueblo Canario branch and spoke to Mattie, we brought 5 excursions for our party of 4, decent chunk of our budget but we was advised what things were like and we were allowed to form our own opinion, nothing forced down our throat.

    Great customer service, would highly recommend!

    Thanks

    Informative and great value A fantastic experience. I was slightly concerned we would be cornered in to buying v expensive drinks and snacks but the cafe we stopped at was very reasonably priced. Drinks started at 1 euro and a slice of delicious cake was 2 euros. The trip was really informative and the stops were well paced. I took my two boys who are 8 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't get bored. We took a picnic and ye that at the longest stop. You do need warm clothes, plenty of layers but it wasn't too cold.
