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.

    Met Daniel and The MacMaster on a very windy December morning as they were on route for breakfast and ourselves to meet Kim. What a friendly bunch of people made us feel so welcome.
    Had a great chat with Kim who is very professional and certainly went out her way to help us. We booked the sunset tour with the star gazing for my 40+2 birthday on the Friday. what an experience. When we come back to Tenerife we will certainly be back for a catch up and rebook it again. Definitely a trip to do. I won’t give any spoilers on it but get it booked up.

    We booked and enjoyed the 4.5 hour boat trip Los Gigantes / Masca Bay tour. It was a wonderful excursion, numerous whales and dolphins were to be seen. Everything worked out great, there was a great opportunity for a refreshing swim. This was not our first booking with Tenerife First Excursions and definitely not the last!

    Thoroughly enjoyed the jet ski tour!! I was concerned that the jet ski tour would be a little to much for my grand daughter but Laura, the lady that arranged it for us, assured us she would be fine and looked after us. Thank you very much.

    Returning customer! A massive thank you to Lindsay who helped book our excursion on the boat. I’ve booked twice within the last month. Once with my beautiful partner and again with close family. Both trips were seamless and a fantastic experience for everyone. The coach was a perfect addition for my mother as it was door to door. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It’s a great day out with sun, sea, sangria and ocean waves. Thanks again Lindsay! M Sammon
