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.

    Kim was Amazing - would highly recommend you book through Kim at TFE! Where do I start! Kim was absolutely amazing. Upon arriving at the office we were made to feel very welcome. From the go we knew we had made the right choice booking with TFE. There was no pressure, all options were given to us and we were enabled to make the best decisions based of Kim’s knowledge and information of excursions on the island. We booked Siam Park VIP, a sunset boat cruise and the jet skis. Unfortunately a family member fell poorly in the day of the boat trip and we couldn’t make it - Kim was very kind and helped us rearrange same day no fussing. All 3 excursions were amazing and from start to finish Kim was a great help! When we come back, this will be our first stop on the island as we know Kim will take care of everything we need to make our time as special and enjoyable as possible! Thanks again Kim!

    I popped into their Pueblo Canario branch and spoke to Mattie, we brought 5 excursions for our party of 4, decent chunk of our budget but we was advised what things were like and we were allowed to form our own opinion, nothing forced down our throat.

    Great customer service, would highly recommend!

    Thanks

    Excellent service from Sarah today in Los Cris. She looked after the 5 of us on the excursions we wanted. Done us a good deal as Daniel always promised everyone on YouTube. Shame we didn’t get to see the big Irishman, hopefully before the end of the holiday. Thanks guys. #KeepItCountry #TenerifeFirstExcursions
