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.

    We have visited Tenerife twice this year, in June and October. We contacted Kim from Tenerife First Excursions back in June who organized the Catamarran whale and dolphin trip for our family and friends. The trip was amazing ! the whales and dolphins showed off in front of the boat to oohs and ahhs from us all. We enjoyed it so much that we contacted Kim again this month and she booked the trip for us a 2nd time. Thank you Kim ! we absolutely loved the trip and can't thank you enough for all your knowledge of the island and all the advice you gave us on all the trips ! We will be returning as soon as we are back !

    I booked two trips with first excursions tenerife. A boat trip to see whales and dolphins and kayaking to see dolphins and turtles both trip where fantastic well organised and excellently ran events. Daniel is friendly, professional and very honest. He pointed out that seeing the wildlife was not a guarantee. Thankfully he was wrong, both trips delivered on the dolphins, whales and turtles. I can't recommend Frist Excursions Tenerife and his advice and trips highly enough. 10/10 to Daniel and his team.

    Wow! Fantastic experience :) What an experience is all I can say! Delighted to have chosen to do the jet skis through Tenerife First Excursions. Great to deal with and they offer really good prices. The jet ski company, Extreme Skis Tenerife whom we did the tour with had brand new jet skis and only 4 jet skis per tour which allowed for lots of room to have fun and to go fast! You get to stop off for a lovely swim too. They also take photos and send them to you afterwards without an added cost :) Will definitely book a future tour/activity with you guys. Thanks for a great time!

    Perfect trip An amazing excursion. Such good value, fantastic communication from the booking agent, very clear. The captain Patrick was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip very special. He arranged certificates for my boys and let them steer the boat. We saw lots of whales and they came very close to the boat of their own choice. The lunch stop was great and the snorkeling was fab.
