Whale Watching Atlantic Cruise, 3-hour departure from Puerto Colon
About this experience
Enjoy a unique whale and dolphin watching experience in Europe’s premier whale-watching capital. On this 3-hour cruise, our Royal Delfin catamaran departs from Puerto Colón (Costa Adeje) and sails along the coast from Playa de las Américas to Diego Hernández Beach. There, we will anchor in the bay for a swim and serve a complimentary lunch. Drinks are included throughout the entire journey.
Our catamaran holds the "Blue Boat" certification, authorizing us to conduct sightings, and we are proud members of Tenerife’s Whale Watching Sustainability Charter. Our excursions strictly adhere to all responsible tourism standards.
Following the regulations set by our certifications, we maintain a minimum distance of 60 meters with a maximum viewing time of 30 minutes. We navigate at reduced speeds and always parallel to the animals' path, never crossing in front of their bow or behind their stern. Furthermore, we avoid overcrowding with other vessels and will leave the area if we notice any changes in the cetaceans' behavior.
The boat has been specifically designed for enjoyment both above and below the water's surface, as it is the only vessel with underwater viewing windows in Puerto Colón. The lower deck is climate-controlled and offers plenty of space to observe these marine mammals in total comfort.
