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.

    Buggy ride Went on the off road buggy experience and it was awesome 😀 very dusty as you're on dirt tracks but an amazing thrill. You have to drive on the roads to get there, then blast around the dirt tracks before driving around Las Americas on your way back to base. I highly recommend it for anyone of any age (I'm 55!) And not expensive either 😍

    Great night underneath the stars We had a great night with Killian and the team and could see some fantastic objects through the scope. Besides the explanations the team also took good care of us with drinks (cava for sunset, hot chocolate to warm up after standing in the cold) and professional pictures which were included in the tour price. All in all a wonderful experience which I can only recommend.

    Très bonne excursion en quad au teide, le coucher de soleil est superbe. Superbe excursion au teide en quad, très bien encadrée. Le coucher de soleil est magnifique et la conduite en quad est agréable. Le petit goûter, les photos et le service de taxi sont un plus appréciable. Petite pensée à Federico, merci pour ta bonne humeur mon ami, très professionnel et on a pu bien rigoler avec toi. Je recommande fortement
