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.

    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.

    Came across them by chance on the way to the beach but Matty was extremely helpful and organised jet skiing for us on short notice.

    Would definitely use them again if we were to come back to Tenerife.

    Excellent, stress free! First visit to tenerife and was keen to do some of the excursions, walked straight into the shop and was helped by the wonderful kim. Gave us multiple choices as to excursions and what they involve. Kim wasn’t pushy and catered to our needs, booked the catarmaran, jet ski, siam park, and sunset quad tour. All excursions were so easy to access and stress free, extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to tenerife to visit here for any of excursions or advice.Thanks again Kim!
