About this tour
Spot whales and dolphins in their natural waters off Tenerife aboard an intimate sailboat carrying a maximum of 11 passengers. This three-hour excursion departs from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, offering a genuine encounter with marine life rather than a crowded tour experience. The boat comes crewed, provisioned with light refreshments, and fuel included—you show up ready to watch.

What to expect
You'll board at Dock 8 in Puerto Colón and head into deeper waters where cetaceans hunt and move. The three-hour loop gives genuine time to locate pods and observe behaviour rather than rush past. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and realistic expectations about wildlife sightings—you're watching animals on their schedule, not yours. The skipper handles navigation while you scan the horizon; snacks and water keep energy steady. Children travel free until age two and must stay with adults throughout.
Good to know
Towels and snorkel gear aren't supplied as standard (request and pay separately if needed). Transport to the dock isn't included—public options exist nearby, or arrange your own. Infants sit on a guardian's lap. All fitness levels welcome; the boat does rock in swell, so check your sea legs beforehand.
