Whale and Dolphin Watching Yacht Trip – 3 Hours from Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje

While on a well earned holiday, heading to the sea for a whale-watching excursion sounds like the perfect getaway. It’s so therapeutic to be out on the water and enjoying tasty food and drink. Pilot whales inhabit the temperate waters feeding off giant squid, but bigger whales and some dolphins and turtles pass through too. After this experience, your yacht will take you to a remote bay for delicious food and drinks before taking you deep into crystal clear waters for an invigorating swim, snorkel & amazing photo opertunities.

    Very friendly and easy communication We went to Tenerife for the second time this week gone and we booked Kayaking and also a Catamaran trip via Mark at Tenerife First. He was great to deal with, not pushy at all and very happy to answer any questions about the activities. The Kayaking had to be rescheduled due to bad weather and Mark sorted that for us as well. Really friendly and easy going atmosphere, would book again. The activities were great, such a nice way to end our holiday. Thanks!

    Brilliant Firstly a huge thank you to Lisa for sorting.Would highly recommend going on the Buggy Safari, the views driving to Teide was breath taking. My husband loved the off roading along the way. Finished off with a lovely tapas and wine tasting.

    Came across them by chance on the way to the beach but Matty was extremely helpful and organised jet skiing for us on short notice.

    Would definitely use them again if we were to come back to Tenerife.
