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.

    Myself and my partner booked two excursions with Lisa. Herself and Daniel were down to earth and definitely knowledgeable about the island. Wouldn't hesitate to book with again and recommend them to anybody wanting to undertake a excursion.

    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.

    A great booking experience. Easy booking process for Siam and Loro Park with a better deal on the boat trips than any other shop I had visited. Tenerife First Excursions made booking trips extremely easy and the most reasonably priced in the area.

    If you are wanting any general information or trips then give these guys a visit, they really know what they are doing! Thanks 😁
