The Experience

Your experience Set sail on a 3-hour eco-friendly catamaran cruise, spotting whales and dolphins along Tenerife’s south coast. Getting Started You will be picked up from your accommodation in South Tenerife and driven to Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. After check-in, board the modern catamaran and receive a short briefing from the crew on safety, wildlife behavior, and the planned route. Settle into shaded or open seating areas as the vessel departs the harbor and heads toward the Teno-Rasca protected marine area. What to Expect Your cruise explores one of the richest marine zones in the Canary Islands, known for its stable populations of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins. The crew offers real-time commentary about species behavior, migration patterns, and conservation efforts. The catamaran follows a steady route along the coastline, giving you clear views of volcanic cliffs, open ocean, and coastal rock formations. Features Whale and dolphin watching: Spot resident whale and dolphin species in the Teno-Rasca protected area, supported by crew commentary that highlights conservation and marine ecology. Onboard refreshments: Snacks and beverages are served during the cruise so you can relax and enjoy the experience while on deck. Crew assistance: The crew remains available throughout the cruise to guide you, assist with equipment, and answer questions about the region's wildlife. Scenic sailing: Take in Tenerife’s rugged south coast, volcanic formations, and long stretches of open ocean as you move through calm marine waters. Wrapping Up At the end of the cruise, return to Puerto Colón and board your transfer vehicle back to your hotel in South Tenerife.
