Description

3h Whale Watching Catamaran in Costa Adeje

This fantastic excursion departs daily from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, Tenerife. The 3-hour catamaran tour sails each day, searching for whales and dolphins along the Costa Adeje coast.

The Experience

Pick-up is available from designated locations in select areas of Tenerife, including Golf del Sur, Los Gigantes, and the main south coast. Alternatively, you can choose to meet directly at Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje.

Your 3-hour Catamaran excursion sets off from Puerto Colón, giving you the chance to enjoy one of the most popular experiences in Costa Adeje: whale and dolphin watching in their natural habitat. As the catamaran glides along the coastline, the knowledgeable crew will share interesting insights about the different species of cetaceans found in these waters, including their behaviours, feeding habits, and migration patterns.

Keep your eyes on the sea, as pilot whales, common bottlenose dolphins, and spotted dolphins often swim alongside the catamaran, sometimes close enough to feel like they’re saying hello! After experiencing these incredible animals, the journey continues toward the far west end of Costa Adeje, where the catamaran stops for you to relax. Here, you can sunbathe, enjoy a refreshing swim, take in the breathtaking coastal views, and savour a light lunch served on board.

At the end of the cruise, you’ll return to Puerto Colón. If you selected the transport option, you’ll be taken back to your designated drop-off point near your accommodation, leaving you relaxed and full of unforgettable memories from a magical day at sea.

    Best excursion place We always use these for all our excursions they’re brilliant used them the past two years now, mark and Dan at the los Cristianos shop are both amazing and helpful they always help us find the best things to do while over there, both friendly and always up for a chat too, we’ve booked jet skis, volcano buggy tour, paragliding, loro park, kayaks, quad volcano tour and loved every single one, we’ve also rented the e scooters which are cheaper than the ones you can use from around the island that are usually park and go, always give us a nice little deal if you book multiple trips at the same time too which is good, definitely recommend using this company for all your activities, hopefully see you next year guys too book more

    FALTÓ LA SUERTE PERO LO INTENTÓ HASTA EL FINAL Hicimos una excursión de avistamiento con ellos de 3 horas, y estuvo todo perfecto salvo que este día los animalitos no estaban por la labor de mostrarse.Excursión en velero, nosotros éramos 11 personas en total, el velero tiene una zona en la popa junto al capitán de bancos cubiertos por un toldo y también puedes ir en proa al aire libre sentado en la cubierta.Prácticamente al salir te llevan a una cala donde puedes tomar un baño y hacer snorkel, y a la vez sirven la comida que consiste en unas porciones de baguette con jamón, queso, tomate y lechuga, correctos sin más, sirven para alimentarte y si no eres de ir en barco mejor no comer mucho por los mareos. También te ofrecen refrescos y cervezas libremente.Nuestro capitán se pasó las 3 h (menos el tiempo del almuerzo) buscando las ballenas pero ese día no hubo suerte, a pesar de estar comunicado con los compañeros y estar todos barriendo la zona en su busca, este día no se quisieron mostrar, una lástima pero al menos disfrutamos del paseo en barco.Nos comentó que no es lo habitual así que animaos a hacerlo, mucho mejor verlos aquí en libertad que en una piscina de un parque.

    Brilliant service and great prices We heard about this place through TikTok and wanted to check it out, needless to say it is definitely worth the good reviews. Coming as a couple abroad for the first time, Kim was amazing at talking us through the activities we wanted to book and she was so detailed throughout the service. Such a wonderful lady, will be returning in the future! Thank you Kim ❤️

    Absolutely fantastic experience and advice from Tenerife First Excursions. Daniel and any of his team I met were absolutely lovely. Through them, on two trips now, I went paragliding (for first time), Taide star gazing experience, rented mopeds, took an afternoon whale & dolphin cruise, and had wonderful food and nightlife recommendations.

    Best by far Great experience, Great boat, great host. We started out on the boat and was greeted by Richard the captain, he explained what we may or may not see and started to serve the drinks (all included). We had been going around half hour and then spotted some pilot whales, great to see these creatures in their environment. Also spotted dolphins whilst heading to a nice bay where we moored for some food.You could swim here jumping of the boat and the water was very warm.We were served chicken, rice and veg and it was very nice.After a while we set off back to our dock and the end of the trip.Richard is a top class host and captain......Thanks for a top class experience
