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.

    Amazing boat trip via the lovely Laura! Heard about TFE from seeing Mattie on TikTok. As we were in Tenerife at the same time as a few of our friends, we decided to charter a boat & of course, TFE were our 1st choice. We were lucky to be in contact with the wonderful Laura, who we initially dealt with via WhatsApp but then met in person once we arrived. She was so friendly, kind & knowledgeable & gave me some great advice as I was worried about going on a boat as I get seasick. The boat trip itself was brilliant - there were 16 of us on the boat, ranging from aged 11 to 55 looked after by the lovely Santhi who kept us constantly supplied with drinks. The food was also fab. We got to see loads of whales & dolphins and then fish when we stopped to snorkel. After following Laura’s advice I didn’t feel at all seasick. I would 100% recommend TFE - they listen to exactly what you want & make you feel important, even though they must deal with so many people.
