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.

    Couldn’t recommend more! We booked the night skys Tenerife star gazing and the Freebird with Tenerife first excursions. Both experiences were amazing and just as described by Mark. Mark and all the team were so helpful in our bookings and made sure we chose the rights things for our budget and what we wanted to do. Couldn’t recommend them more. We will definitely be back next time to book our activities.

    We wanted to see the dolphins but didn't know which boat to take as there are many options. Both Lea and Danny spent over 30 minutes with us answering our questions and listening to what we wanted to recommend the best option for us, they even checked the weather on the day of our trip to make sure that we would have a pleasant trip, and indeed it was. Thanks!
