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.

    YOU MUST DO THE SUNSET TOUR!!! We used first excursions to book jet ski’s and the sunset experience on the buggies. The company is very organised and communicates really well, we got picked up from our hotel for the sunset experience and the driver arrived on time. It is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO, you will not regret it. We were worried as it was cloudy on the day we had this booked but once you are above the clouds the sky is unreal. I have never done anything like this before it is so worth the money. But take a jacket/jumper as it is so cold when you go through the clouds, they didn’t tell us this and we were freezing!! You can take snacks and drinks with you but they do provide water. You can buy the neck covers there for €5.

    Fun family day out on a catamaran Boat was huge and plenty of space to move around . Staff are so considerate and try to find Dolphins via radar and calling all other boats . They make sure you really do get to see a pod of dolphins or whales !

    Amazing experience. Great staff and sight is wondeful Amazing experience! Patrick’s boat Galatea took us about 4 miles off the coast with various stops to enjoy the sight of dolphins, local whales, and (if you’re luck as we were) migrating whales as well. The captain was great and provided us with sandwiches, chips and drinks to have during the 40 mins break in Playa Diego Hernandez, in which you can swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water. Very recommended.
