Tenerife Whale and Dolphin Watching Eco-Catamaran Tour

Set sail from Costa Adeje's stunning coastline on a modern eco-catamaran designed for responsible marine wildlife observation. This three-hour cruise takes you into the Atlantic waters off Tenerife's southern coast, where resident populations of pilot whales and dolphins gather year-round. The catamaran features underwater audio equipment that lets you listen to the fascinating vocalisations of these intelligent marine mammals as they socialise and hunt around the boat.

Your knowledgeable crew shares insights about Tenerife's marine ecosystem whilst you watch dolphins play and pilot whales interact in their natural habitat. The tour includes a swimming and snorkelling stop in crystal-clear Atlantic waters, where you can observe smaller marine life up close. The boat's eco-friendly design ensures minimal environmental impact whilst providing comfortable seating areas, both shaded and open deck spaces, and panoramic views of Tenerife's volcanic landscape.

  • 3-hour eco-catamaran cruise along Tenerife's southern coast
  • Underwater audio equipment for listening to whale and dolphin vocalisations
  • Knowledgeable crew commentary about marine wildlife
  • Complimentary sandwiches and beverages served on board

Good to Know

The tour lasts 3 hours and departs from Costa Adeje. You must bring your own snorkelling equipment and towels if you plan to swim. The catamaran is not wheelchair accessible, and you should arrive at the meeting point before departure time. Sandwiches and drinks are provided, though you may bring additional light snacks if desired.

Tour duration may vary by date - some departures offer 5-hour options instead of the standard 3-hour cruise. Check your selected date carefully when booking to ensure you get your preferred duration. The eco-catamaran operates with respect for local marine life, practising responsible wildlife watching at all times.

If you're exploring more of Tenerife's natural wonders, consider combining this marine adventure with a visit to Teide National Park to experience the island's volcanic landscapes from land.
