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.

    The most amazing and understanding service! I booked a surprise private boat excursion for myself & my husband for his birthday! Unfortunately due to me becoming pregnant & having awful sickness we couldn’t fly out to Tenerife! I contacted the lady I had booked with and she was very understanding & issued a full refund immediately! I can’t thank this. I can’t thank enough & when we can get over to Tenerife I will 💯 be booking any excursions with this company! Many Thanks again for your wonderful & understanding service xxx

    Discovering the gorgeous island of Tenerife Wow oh wow! What a time we had in Tenerife. Such a gorgeous island to explore and discover the local culture. On one of the days, we decided we had to see the island from the water - as our European forefathers once did as they discovered the beautiful island of Tenerife. I am a bit nervous about boating, but Patricia was so so helpful. She explained everything to us in detail so we would know what to expect and this helped my nerves. She clearly has an excellent knowledge of the excursions and the terrific island of Tenerife. A splendid day was had !!
