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.

    We booked a 4.5h whale + dolphin watching tour through TFE, and Sue was very helpful with all the details. The tour ended up happening via Freebird catamarans (dunno if directly or using their boats), and I was a little skeptical since there were old reviews of bad experiences, but our trip was very pleasant. We managed to snag one of the first sunbeds (first come basis when you board the boat for 25EUR, very much recommend this), so we got to enjoy a beautiful view of the island and Los Gigantes, and a ride on the waves. The captain said the ride is a bit choppy, but it didnt seem too bad - all our stuff stayed in place, just make sure to put something heavy on your towels if you get up so the wind doesnt blow them away. We were served a nice rice+chicken lunch, and had access to free drinks. The crew entertained us with excellent music selection, and on the way back we managed to watch pilot whales for about 20 minutes, quite close at times (captn said 99% chance of seeing whales when we went in November). Our only "complaint" is that we wish more time was spent with the animals, but I think we just need a different tour for that - this was 90% relaxing, sightseeing, and swimming (which we still thoroughly recommend)

    Amazingly easy We went to Tenerife as a family to visit my brother. My little guy is 4! My brother booked all our trips with first excursion's, using Linda. We had the best time. Visiting all the parks, and having an amazing boat tour. Everything was well planned and easy to navigate.

    A big thank you to Tenerife First Excursions and a special mention to Lisa Fay for being absolutely brilliant in helping us book our activities! From start to finish, Lisa was very attentive and knowledgable- not just about the activities but the whole island itself! We instantly felt very comfortable and confident with the bookings we made! She reiterated that if we had any issues with our activities, Tenerife First Excursions would do whatever they can to find a resolution which was very much appreciated! The best surprise was that we booked the same boat trip on the same day as Lisa!- and so the party and fun continued and we had the best day with Lisa and her family. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Tenerife! ❤️❤️

    Great experience and a very organised company to book with! Really great organised company to book with. They are a little more expensive than any jet ski’s I have done before, I do think it would be nice to have the pictures included in the price rather than charger a further €25 given you can’t take your phones so no opportunity to get your own pictures. Other than that we found the location following the instructions provided, the area where you wait and get your life jackets was clean and the girl was really nice and explained all of the rules to the group. It was a great experience we had so much fun and got the opportunity to swap drivers half way through. I would recommend!!

    Thank you Mark and Dominika! We did the Whale and Dolphin Watching afternoon boat trip which was fab. The staff and crew were lovely and the boat was big enough, not overcrowded. A massive thanks to Mark and Dominika from the Los Cristianos office who helped us book the trip and was so helpful and knowledgeable about all the trips. When we come back, we'll be booking with you again!
