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.

    Book this trip! This trip was great value for money, with beer and a sandwich included. We saw wales, unfortunately no dolphins but we came across a hammerhead shark. We also stopped to swim in a bay… 100% worth the money, if in doubt book the trip!

    Full day guided tour of La Palma visiting the erupting volcano What a great day out. First thoughts was that it was a bit morbid viewing peoples misery when they have lost their homes . But in doing this tour, I feel we were able to assist the local economy which is being affected by the reduction in numbers of tourist due to the volcano eruption. The ship sailed promptly at 08:30 from los Christianos arriving at 10:15 at Santa Cruz. Stopped off at 2 great view points on the journey across the island heading to Tazacorte where we had a three course meal. The coach guide was very knowledgeable and pointing out things of interest. Eventually we arrived at the viewing point overlooking the volcano and lava streams. What a levelling experience, sadly seeing houses half covered in lava. Then off back to Santa Cruz for the ferry back to los Christianos arriving back at 19:15. This was a really enjoyable day out. We booked through Tenerife First excursions after seeing positive reviews. It was easy enough to do online. We were in touch with Kim who made everything feel no trouble at all. I would definitely use Tenerife first excursions again👍👍. They are very professional and know there stuff, thanks for your help Kim.

    Amazing week in Tenerife, thanks to Sarah and her team ❤️ We booked all of our trips with Sarah. She was super friendly and felt like a friend. Because we booked quite a few activities we had a lot of money knocked off aswel. LORO PARQUE We did Loro Parque with coach transfer from Los Cristianos. The coach was about an hour and a half. The park itself was amazing. Our main reason for the visit was to see the Orca whales. They didn't disappoint. Beautiful animals. 😍 Note...the park doesn't sell bottles of anything, all drinks are in cans. SIAM PARK NIGHT We queued an hour for the new ride and then rode the lazy river and rapids for an hour. Spent an hour on the beach in the wave machines. Still extremely busy but not hot. Could see some children shivering. We left around 11pm and jumped straight into a taxi. KAYAK TOUR Both instructors were lovely. They take photos and videos and send them for free to your email. It's a long way to paddle to the fish farm but it was totally worth it! We saw turtles and about 15 dolphins swimming past us. Truly amazing. You get to snorkel in a cove which was fun, but the water is very choppy. Definitely take water and suncream. PARASCENDING We loved this! You get taken in a little motor boat to the boat in the ocean. You can't take anything with you for safety but it's all kept in lockers. They take photos which you can purchase for €20 afterwards. 10 minutes flying time and get dipped in the ocean on you way back in. It was so much fun. 15 year old son wanted to do this again! PARAGLIDING Amazing. I had the loveliest guy who talked me through everything. You have to wait at the top of the mountain for a while until the wind is in the right direction. Then you have to run (this was so funny) once you take flight you sit back and relax and take in the view. Again, they take photos and videos of you which you can purchase at the end (€45) The team were lovely and always available by WhatsApp if you have any questions. Thankyou so so much. We had an amazing week in Tenerife. We will book with you next time 🥰

    Aanrader! Echt een aanrader om te doen! Naast het sterrenkijken ook zeer interessant om het eiland te verkennen en de leuke weetjes te leren kennen. Helaas hadden wij het op onze dag niet erg getroffen met het weer, waardoor het erg bewolkt was en we uiteindelijk niet de zonsondergang konden zien en heel weinig sterren. Daarnaast deden ze we wel alles aan om een plek op de bergen te vinden waar het minder bewolkt was, alleen helaas geen geluk. Maar alsnog zeker een aanrader om te doen!

    These girls are worth their weight in gold. They helped me before I had even flown to Tenerife and every day I have been here. They are amazing and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my excursions.
    Massive shout out to the girls at HQ who have had my back throughout this amazing holiday.
    All I can say is listen to the girls and take their advice and you won’t be sorry, they are amazing through and through.
    Thank you to you all. Love to all.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
