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.

    Brilliant service and amazing staff Can’t recommend this company enough. We went it to book a boat excursion to see the whales, we were greeted by Lisa who sat us down and went through all of our options. Initially we were looking at a catamaran but after Lisa showed us an alternative smaller boat (Opera 60) we opted for that. She clearly explained the benefits of this against the larger boats. The trip we had was amazing, the boat, staff, food were more than we expected and to top it all off we saw the whales, and lots of the too. I’m really happy with TFE and the recommendation Lisa gave us, I can’t fault her or the company at all. We even went back the next day as I wanted to thank her personally but she was off work so I went back a couple days later and caught her to say thanks. I know there are a lot of excursion company’s around in the resorts but this one stands head and shoulders above them all. Check them out - you won’t be disappointed, that’s a guarantee.

    I did 4 excursions with Tenerife first excursions. I booked parascending, paragliding, half day teide and stargazing. All excursions were done very professionally, and were breathtaking. Kim and Daniel looked after you and made booking a excursion so easy and effortless. If you ever need an excursion, I 100% highly agree using Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your stay on Tenerife enjoyable and one you will always remember. I wished I could give more than 5 stars as they deserve a 10.
