Whale Watching Catamaran in Costa Adeje
Sail the Atlantic in search of pilot whales, dolphins, and turtles off the coast of Tenerife
This whale watching catamaran in Costa Adeje offers a three-hour voyage from Puerto Colón into some of the most cetacean-rich waters in the Canary Islands. Guided by specialists in marine wildlife, this tour combines authentic nature observation with a relaxed sailing experience on the warm Atlantic Ocean.
Departing daily from Puerto Colón, the catamaran navigates the coastal waters of Costa Adeje where pilot whales are permanent residents, making sightings highly reliable throughout the year. The onboard team, trained in cetacean behavior, provides detailed commentary on species identification, feeding habits, and migration patterns as encounters unfold.
Beyond the wildlife observation, guests have the opportunity to swim in the open ocean once the tour has concluded its cetacean search. The combination of educational content and leisure time on the water makes this an accessible and well-rounded outing for a wide range of travelers.
A free bus transfer is included from various pickup points in south Tenerife, and the vessel accommodates dietary requirements including vegetarian and celiac menus upon request. Sun beds are available onboard on a first-come, first-served basis and carry an additional charge.
