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.

    Everything was so well organised! We were picked up from our hotel and taken to meet the other groups, given a clear introduction on how to drive the buggies, and then off we went. The guides were fantastic – funny, friendly, and always making sure we were safe on the foreign roads. I noticed some very concerned drivers around us, but the guides managed all the junctions, exits, and routes perfectly. It was thrilling, so much fun, and the views were simply breathtaking. An unforgettable experience!

    Wir haben eine 3h Wal- und Delphin-Tour an der Costa Adeje mit "Tnerife First Excursions" gemacht und wir können dieses Unternehmen zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Von der Buchung, über die Kommunikation der Abholung beim Hotel bis hin zum Ausflug selber hat alles Reibungslos geklappt.Tolles Boot, tolles Personal, Tolle Organisation, was will man mehr?(Das es ein wunderschöner Tag war und wir Neben jede Menge Delphinen auch Wale beobachten konnten, hat natürlich auch zum gelungenen Ausflug beigetragen.)

    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 😍

    Absolutely amazing Staff It's was absolutely amazing. The boat hat around 12 people on we first we Set off from the docks where we met our host, Fabrizio he was amazing explaining everything to us in detail we were lucky to see some dolphins and by the end of the trip you get a meal that mostly concludes of amazingly seasoned chicken thigh, Veggie rice and Roat potato. After that me and my brothers got out the boat and went for a small swim (recommend wearing shorts/swimming costume under your clothes) Life Jackets are provided for the little ones. All and all an amazing experience, my first time on a boat and definitely not my last !
