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.

    The best excursions Linda from the Costa Adeje branch was a great 10/10 star, Linda had a difficult job from us wanting to do 1 hour jet skis, the 3hr sunset buggies & 3hr whale watching boat trip on the last three days of our trip but pulled it out the bag and got us sorted on each excursion anf we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Tenerife first excursions and everyone go see Linda. Be back soon

    I could not recommend these guys enough ✨ We did this on one of our last days just to spread all our excursions out! It was absolutely amazing! The tour guides were so lovely and made sure we were safe but enjoying it at the same time. The views were breath taking! I would recommend to anyone going to Tenerife! We also had 3 other excursions booked (self hire boat, sun set tour and clear kayaking) with the team and they were all amazing! Dan booked us in for them all and he was so lovely! Made sure they were all worth our while! We had one excursion cancelled due to the weather and the team were amazing made sure we had our money back straight away and offered other excursions! The whole team are so helpful and active on socials if you needed to contact them. I can not recommend Tenerife first excursion enough! (Especially Dan in Los Cristos) Thank you so much we will definitely be using you guys again on our next trip to Tenerife ✨

    The Valkyrie boat trip we went on was the most fabulous boat trip I have been on.Booked through the fantastic Tenerife First Excursions Kim was an amazing representative guiding us to the best trip to suit our requirements even going above and beyond to accommodate my wife with gluten free pizza because of her intolerance.From the arrival on the boat we were welcomed by the wonderful crew with wine and beers to start our journey. After asking what type of trip we wanted relaxing or lively or active we set off for our beautiful little bay where we swam snorkelled went paddle boarding and well we ate some beautiful pizza and other food it was amazing highly recommended for anyone the most relaxing trip I have ever enjoyed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
