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.

    Amazing experience. Great staff and sight is wondeful Amazing experience! Patrick’s boat Galatea took us about 4 miles off the coast with various stops to enjoy the sight of dolphins, local whales, and (if you’re luck as we were) migrating whales as well. The captain was great and provided us with sandwiches, chips and drinks to have during the 40 mins break in Playa Diego Hernandez, in which you can swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water. Very recommended.

    Fab experience, great communication with the guys too!!! Much appreciated ☺️ So so SO good, the captain was fab and very accommodating! Safe trip even though the sea was verryyy choppy (which made us feel abit sick). I just also want to give a MASSIVE thank you to the guys for waiting and great communication on WhatsApp! We were running late due to being delayed on another activity, however the guys were fab at talking and letting us jump on board even when we ran late!! Very much appreciated 🥰 overall, an amazing experience seeing loads of dolphins and the snorkelling was great fun! 10/10 would recommend

    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!

    Uur jetskiën Opgehaald bij het hotel, leuke mensen! Op de jetski een korte efficiënte uitleg en daarna gelijk het water op, heerlijk zelf mogen varen. Mooie omgeving en een fantastische ervaring. Ook zijn we daarna weer netjes terug naar het hotel gebracht.

    CANARY KAYAK TENERIFE Had a brilliant time, instructors were lovely, safety conscious and very informative. Snorkelling with the fish and seeing the wildlife made this trip extra special. We can’t recommend this company enough. Thank you
