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 We booked 4 trips with Lisa Fay and she was so helpful! We booked the 3 hour buggy ride up the volcano with tapas and wine tasting. We booked Loro park and Siam park and we also booked the 3 hour Catamaran trip. Lisa was so helpful and informative about all of the trips we had to offer and she also allowed us time to think about what we wanted to do, she gave us leaflets to have a look at so that we could go back the next day and book all of the trips with her. All 4 of the trips were incredible and stress free after booking with Tenerife first excursions. Thankyou very much Lisa.

    Lisa Fay Best Customer Representative For Excursions I can highly recommend Teneriffe First Excursions but would like to highlight their customer service representative Lisa Fay! Teneriffe is packed with various companies trying to sell you excursion packages on the street so we spoke to quite a few whilst walking around, but stopped when Lisa started speaking to us. From the initial introduction of what they have to offer to us making payment of the boat we decided to rent we felt comfortable throughout the process. No hard sales tactics but extremely informative, slight negotiation but definitely to our benefit in comparison to others, extremely professional but fun at the same time. If I ever go back I would definitely contact Lisa again and recommend anyone looking to book a boat ride, volcano tour, quad or buggy rally etc with her. Five stars throughout ***** Thank you from us again
