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.

    A fantastic experience! This was incredible! Captain Jesus we salute you! There was only one other couple on the boat so the whole experience felt like a private charter. We saw lots of dolphins, they come very close to the boat and Jesus managed to follow them perfectly. Heading a little bit further out we saw 3 pilot whales with their calf’s. Once we had seen these we sailed back towards an idyllic swimming spot where we saw a turtle. It’s also a lovely looking boat so makes for some great photographs with stunning views looking back towards Tenerife. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

    Definitely the place to buy excursions Ross, in Los Cristianos, is a star! He knows his stuff and made booking the trip a breeze. He responds to WhatsApp messages extremely quickly and is super helpful. He also made several restaurant and bar recommendations. He is a real credit to the company.We loved our star gazing on Mount Teide. Thanks, Ross.
