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.

    Amazing, fun and exciting experience Absolutely amazing experience, it was kind of scary at the start but unbelievable when we got the hang of it, I 100% recommend this jet ski experience! Staff were friendly and nice, they also take professional photos of everyone on their jetski that you can buy once you're finished which is cool! I'd definitely go again!

    The best and only company I would ever booked for any excursions in Tenerife ! I would 1000% recommend to anyone to book any excursions with TFE ! From when Mattie , Trev and Now Richard sorting out is with the 2hr rental boat , jet ski and the para sailing for such a good price ! Can’t thank TFE enough for making my brother’s 21st an absolute blast! I will certainly be booking with you guys again when I’m staying in March ! As a bonus every excursion you booked with TFE , you get 20% off chillbox (which for us adults it’s the best alcoholic slushie ever) ! ❤️😊

    Tenerife, I absolutely love it. We went on the buggy trail up to the volcano on the sunset tour it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I will be recommending it to absolutely everybody not only that I’ll be recommending Tenerife first excursions because this wasn’t the only excursion that we booked we also went on the medieval night and one hour jet car we booked in the Los Cris office with Mark instead of trying to sell me things he listen to what I wanted and got straight on with booking there was no upsell just what I wanted and had asked for. he was kind and friendly and made you feel at ease not only that when it got round to pick up everything went smoothly just as it should’ve done I wouldn’t use any other excursion company in Tenerife apart from these guys.Tenerife, I absolutely love it🏝️☀️🏝️🌋

    Awesome can’t recommend enough! Booked all of our excursions through LisaFay who was absolutely amazing. We booked Siam Park, the jet cars, the sunset quad trip and she chucked in free monkey park tickets which was brilliant as we was planning on going anyway! Can’t thank Lisa and the team enough we lost our tickets and she was amazing reassuring us that we could still complete the excursions and assured us that the tour providers were aware we would have photos of the tickets rather than the physical ticket. The sunset quad tour was absolutely breathtaking, we got picked up from our hotel fully safety briefed on driving the quads which was really helpful as we were both a little anxious due to never driving one before. As we drove up towards mount Teidi we stopped off at various different view points and were given water and snacks and then non-alcoholic Prosecco to watch the sunset. The guys that took us up who worked for Tenerife first quads were awesome giving us facts about the surroundings as we stopped. Can’t recommend this excursion enough to anyone visiting Tenerife. Thank you so much to the team at Tenerife first excursions enough for being so brilliant and will 1000 percent use them the next time we visit Tenerife!
