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.

    Only place i go to book excursions!Used these guys twice on my vacation and they give the best deals and everyone that works there is so lovely and welcoming! Can stay for hours chatting! Our first vacation we dealt with Matt and the second vacation we dealt with Lisa. Big thank you! We booked a lot of activity’s, think this year we did 7! As we where return customers they did us a deal which was fab! They know what there talking about and they are all clued up on each excursion! Answered all our questions and recommended exactly what we where looking for! Gave us lots of tips and advise when booking certain things. One thing I love is that they don’t scream at you when you are walking past! Like all the other excursion company’s. We even met the owner who is awesome! Had some YouTube vids up of some of the excursions which is nice to be able to see what there like. We have done pretty much every excursion with these guys and each one was spectacular and I would highly recommend! 💎
