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.

With a maximum of 11 guests per yacht, this intimate shared experience allows you to enjoy personal attention and a relaxed pace.

    Excellent customer service would definitely recommend . We booked 3 excursions with Kim who was lovely and very helpful.

    We booked a helicopter ride that was amazing best thing I have ever done well worth it . On the morning that we was due to go we was unable to get a taxi as all held up due to a accident on the motorway called up and mattie answered and offer to come and collect us and take us there so we didn’t missed ……… excellent customer service.

    We also did Siam park and a boat trip which both was really good and at a really good price

    Will definitely be back to book again when next on the island

    Tenerife mejor que ver las ballenas Tenerife es único. Si no tuviera la vida echa en otra parte, aquí me venía a vivir. Y la gente estupenda, simpática, amables abiertos. Las ballenas bueno fue una experiencia de tres horas, las vimos a lo lejos, pero mo vimos nada más. Te Dan una pulga de bocadillo y una vbebida al empezar y casi al acabar.

    FANTASTIC company to deal with. Absolutely fantastic customer service from lisafay today. We saw multiple TikTok’s before we arrived in Tenerife and thought we would give these guys a try, I’m so glad we did. We booked multiple excursions with these guys and got everything we wanted at fantastic prices. We was gifted free monkey park tickets and a 20% voucher for chill box (which is also a fantastic place with fantastic staff. It’s a must, the drinks are to die for). We met mattie in person and the guy behind the camera Colin, great guys. I would highly recommend using Tenerife first excursions and will definitely use them when we visit the island again. Thank you so much guys. (We absolutely love it) 😜😜

    Personne super sympa qui nous a filé des tuyaux pour le parc aquatique SIAM PARC.En fait, il nous a déconseillé de prendre leur bus car ils font pas mal d'arrêt & du coup on arrive tard alors que le parc ouvre avant l'heure indiquée. Et on a fait un peu la queue, mais franchement c'était assez rapide car on a acheté les billets chez Tenerife First Excursions puis on a pris un taxi près de l'église, genre 8€ la course. Pour le retour, ne faites pas la queue pour un taxi car il y a foule!!! il y a des bus si vous marchez genre 15min en sortant du parc, prenez vers la droite & traversez le pont, vous verrez une station de bus & pour 1€ on était à Los Cristianos.
