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.

    Brilliant night Excellent evening. Pick-up was easy and the dinner was great. We also got a lovely view of the sunset. The star of the show (if you’ll pardon the pun) was the stargazing, saw some breathtaking sights through the telescope. Still can’t quite believe Saturn! Craig the tour guide was engaging and informative throughout. Thanks for a great evening.

    Kim was Amazing - would highly recommend you book through Kim at TFE! Where do I start! Kim was absolutely amazing. Upon arriving at the office we were made to feel very welcome. From the go we knew we had made the right choice booking with TFE. There was no pressure, all options were given to us and we were enabled to make the best decisions based of Kim’s knowledge and information of excursions on the island. We booked Siam Park VIP, a sunset boat cruise and the jet skis. Unfortunately a family member fell poorly in the day of the boat trip and we couldn’t make it - Kim was very kind and helped us rearrange same day no fussing. All 3 excursions were amazing and from start to finish Kim was a great help! When we come back, this will be our first stop on the island as we know Kim will take care of everything we need to make our time as special and enjoyable as possible! Thanks again Kim!

    FANTASTIC company to deal with. Absolutely fantastic customer service from lisafay today. We saw multiple TikTok’s before we arrived in Tenerife and thought we would give these guys a try, I’m so glad we did. We booked multiple excursions with these guys and got everything we wanted at fantastic prices. We was gifted free monkey park tickets and a 20% voucher for chill box (which is also a fantastic place with fantastic staff. It’s a must, the drinks are to die for). We met mattie in person and the guy behind the camera Colin, great guys. I would highly recommend using Tenerife first excursions and will definitely use them when we visit the island again. Thank you so much guys. (We absolutely love it) 😜😜
