Whale Watch Tenerife
A company specialising in whale and dolphin watching excursions off Costa Adeje, departing from Pontoon 3 at Puerto Colón Marina. Trips last two hours, take a maximum of ten guests and are accompanied by biologists who work in English and Spanish. The boat is an eight-metre rigid inflatable with cushioned seats and a canopy for shade, and a hydrophone on board lets passengers listen to the animals underwater.
Whale Watch Tenerife specialises in cetacean watching excursions off Costa Adeje and holds the authorisations regulated by the Spanish ministry and the Government of the Canary Islands to approach pilot whale and dolphin populations respectfully. The team is made up of biologists with local certification who guide in English and Spanish, and the company donates the photographs, recordings and sighting information from its trips to cetacean research and conservation organisations. It presents itself as a Blue Flag certified whale watching organisation in Tenerife and sails year round.
Trips last two hours and come as a shared group outing or a private one, always with a maximum of ten guests, leaving from Pontoon 3 at Puerto Colón Marina. The vessel is an eight-metre rigid inflatable boat with cushioned seats and a canopy, carrying life jackets for children and adults. Guests should arrive fifteen minutes beforehand at the pontoon entrance; there is no hotel pick-up and no swimming stop, since swimming with cetaceans is not permitted in Spain, and the activity is not suitable for pregnant women, for people who have recently had neck or back surgery, or for people with reduced mobility. If no cetaceans are sighted during the trip, the company invites guests to join another outing on a later date, subject to availability. Photographs taken on the trip are shared with guests afterwards. Booking is done online, by phone or through WhatsApp.
