Whale and Dolphin Watching in Costa Adeje

Context Costa Adeje, located on Tenerife, offers a privileged marine environment for whale and dolphin watching due to its stable climate and clear waters. Species such as pilot whales and dolphins reside here year-round and can be observed throughout the year. The striking contrast between the deep blue ocean and the volcanic cliffs of Los Gigantes creates a unique visual backdrop for this activity.

The experience Departing from Puerto de Colón, you’ll board a boat, catamaran, or sailing yacht for a journey lasting between 2 and 5 hours. Throughout the trip, expert guides will assist you in identifying and understanding the behavior of cetaceans as they swim and leap near the vessel. The fresh sea breeze and warm sun enhance the experience, while the distinctive sounds of animals breathing at the surface blend with the rhythm of the waves.

For whom This activity is suitable for families with children from age 3, nature lovers, and individuals with limited mobility who can board the vessel without difficulty. It is not recommended for those prone to severe seasickness or unable to board boats safely.

Local context The local community of Costa Adeje maintains a close relationship with the sea, blending traditional fishing practices with sustainable tourism. Partial protection of the marine area supports biodiversity conservation and enables respectful, low-impact encounters with marine wildlife.
