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.

Would highly recommend these guys for a smooth and easy booking.

    It was always our plan to purchase from Tenerife First Excursions after watching The Craicmaster since he very first started on YouTube. We popped down to Los Cris yesterday and we’re seen to by the lovely Sarah who done us a fab deal on 2 excursions. We left a deposit and came back today to pay the rest and to our surprise, look who we bumped into. The big man himself and not forgetting lovely Matty, safe to say this made our day and what a lovely genuine guy he is and all the staff are fab. We had a great chat and banter with everyone. Thank you everyone, it was great to meet you all!!!
