About this activity
Set sail from Puerto Colón on a 3-hour catamaran to encounter pilot whales, dolphins, and potentially larger cetaceans in their natural Atlantic habitat off Costa Adeje. Expert guides share insights on these marine mammals' behaviour and ecology while you swim, sunbathe, and enjoy refreshments in Tenerife's warm waters.
This great excursion leaves every day from Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje (Tenerife). The 3-hour Catamaran boat leaves daily and sails, looking for whales and dolphins in the coastal area of Costa Adeje. On this Dolphin and Whale watching Tour, the catamaran crew will inform you about the characteristics of the cetacean species in their natural environment. You'll learn about their species, food migrations etc. Once you have had the chance to appreciate the cetaceans you can relax and sunbathe or just get a swim in the warm Atlantic Ocean. Finally return to Puerto Colon.
You'll almost certainly get to see pilot whales on your boat trip. They inhabit the warm waters around the boat, maximizing the likelihood that you'll spot them. You may even get lucky and spot some bigger whales, dolphins, or turtles too.
Please note sun beds are extra and are on a first come first served basis!
