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.

    Great advice from Lindsay and a excellent visit to Siam Nights Lindsay at the Golf Del Sur Office was great in explaining the various options of Siam Park. Based on her recommendations we opted for Siam Nights , our teenage daughters loved it and we would recommend it so as not to have to queue up for the rides in direct sunlight, it wasn’t too busy and in just a couple of hours we went on over 10 rides without any fast passes.

    Fantastic Customer Service! We came across an issue whilst on the island (which wasn’t the fault of the business or owner). The owner reached out and was not only professional but very welcoming. He was able to put us at ease and ensure that our remaining time on the island was enjoyed. My family and I can’t thank him enough for his kindness and we look forward to booking lots of excursions when we return to the island. Keep up the FAB work Daniel and the team!!

    Got my tickets yesterday. Thanks!

    Tenerife First were so easy to deal with, really nice people and helpful.

    I wouldn't go anywhere else for tickets. We travelled from Playa Paraíso to the Las Américas store to use Tenerife First.

    Matty, keep those videos coming, and I absolutely love it!
