A relaxed catamaran tour off the south of Tenerife

Discover the whales and dolphins off the coast of Tenerife! You will be picked up from your hotel (only available in the south of the island) and then taken to Puerto Colón. Once you get there, you will step on board a medium-sized catamaran - small enough to offer you an exclusive trip, but with enough space for you to see the whales and dolphins from every side. Once we leave the harbour, we will set course for the open Atlantic Ocean.

Booking option: 3 hour catamaran tour

Enjoy the popular 3-hour boat trip out on the Atlantic Ocean. The tour starts in Puerto Colón. You will sail out to sea and have the chance to see whales and dolphins off the coast. During the trip we will drop anchor for swimming and snorkelling (equipment included). During the boat trip you will be served sandwiches and drinks (sangria, beer, wine, water), which are also included.

A wonderful catamaran excursion off the south of Tenerife

Enjoy great views of Tenerife and most importantly the tranquillity of the open sea during the catamaran tour. With a bit of luck you will soon be able to watch some of the different species of dolphins and whales very close to the boat. The catamaran is well-known for its great crew on board and the exceptionally attentive service. The catamaran tour includes a stop for swimming and snorkelling - you can also use this break to enjoy a snack or a bit of lunch on board the boat. Drinks are included in both the short catamaran tour and the longer trip.

The catamaran tour starts Puerto Colón. A transfer from different places in the southern area is provided for the drive down to the coast. The crew members of this catamaran trip off Tenerife have been trained to observe whales and dolphins. They will make every effort to get you as close as possible to these wonderful animals, whilst at the same time respecting the animals’ needs by not getting too close. In fact, there is no guarantee that you will actually see a whale, dolphin or one of the pretty turtles on your trip - but the probability of this is high in their habitat on the south coast of Tenerife.

Conditions

Attention: reservation is required! The reservation can be made through sunbonoo as part of the booking process or later by contacting the tour operator directly via phone or email.

a pleasant experience but not the best whale and dolphin tour

The catamaran tour was a pleasant way to spend half a day in Tenerife. The crew was friendly, and the views were beautiful. We did see dolphins, but no whales this time. The swim stop was refreshing, and the included snacks and drinks were decent. Overall, it was enjoyable, but I've had more exciting wildlife experiences elsewhere.

Fantastic

The catamaran excursion was an unforgettable experience for my family. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in Tenerife South, everything was impeccable. The staff on board were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure we had drinks and snacks throughout the trip. Although there is no guarantee of seeing whales or dolphins, we were lucky enough to see several species up close. The swimming and snorkelling time was a perfect touch - highly recommended!

Fantástico

La excursión en catamarán fue una experiencia inolvidable para mi familia. Desde el momento en que nos recogieron en nuestro hotel en Tenerife Sur, todo fue impecable. El personal a bordo era excepcionalmente amable y atento, asegurándose de que tuviéramos bebidas y bocadillos durante el viaje. Aunque no hay garantía de ver ballenas o delfines, tuvimos la suerte de observar varias especies de cerca. El tiempo para nadar y bucear fue un toque perfecto. ¡Altamente recomendado!
