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.

    we wanted to leave a separate note towards kim as she is absolutely amazing, we saw this excursion hut on tik tok & came over to see if for ourselves, we booked night star gazing & the royal delfin, she didn’t bribe us like some of the other excursion huts do, she treats us like friends not customers, she knows how to have a laugh & we will without doubt be recommending this & returning potentially this holiday, there’s no pressure or anything, the most welcoming excursion hut i know, thank you kim we love you, from tia number one, tia number two, & jody :)

    Awesome, WOW!! I booked through Sarah at the Los Christianos branch, she made the whole process of choosing which activities I wanted to do and then the actual booking so easy, this is my 3rd time of booking through this branch and I won't go through anyone else when I visit Tenerife now. They are always most helpful, friendly, and non-pushy for a sale company i have used. I've done the dolphins and whale watching before and this trip the Mustang tiede tour and 1000M paragliding experience and I want to do both again I loved it so much!! Just WOW! Thank you Sarah!
