Who the Costa Adeje Whale Watching Catamaran Tour Is Not For

Wheelchair users, people who want lunch and anyone hoping to swim with dolphins should book differently.

Costa Adeje Whale Watching Catamaran Tour FAQ

The operator promises another ticket free if there is no sighting, so you can go again on another day. Ask the crew how to claim it before you leave the boat. A sighting is likely anyway: Turismo de Tenerife reports whales or dolphins on about 8 out of 10 days.

Choose 3 hours if you want to swim: that option adds a swim and snorkel stop of about 30 minutes, with snorkel gear included. Choose 2 hours if you only want the whales and dolphins, or if you travel with young children who tire quickly on a boat.

Yes. Water, soft drinks and beer are free on board on every option. Food is not listed, so eat before you go or bring a snack. If you want sandwiches included, the Costa Adeje eco-cruise from the same harbor serves them from €47.

Up to 50 people, according to the operator's page. A recent reviewer says the catamaran is a good size and didn't feel crowded. If you want fewer people, the 11-guest sailing tour from Costa Adeje caps the group at 11, from €55.

About 15 minutes with the same group of whales, according to the operator. That is half of the 30 minutes the Canary Islands rules allow, and every licensed boat must keep at least 60 m from the animals. The crew then moves on to look for other groups.

It leaves from Pier 4 in Puerto Colón, the marina of Costa Adeje, on the boat named "Eden Catamaran". The listing gives no check-in time, so arrive early. If you stay in Los Cristianos or Los Gigantes, a trip from your own harbor saves the transfer.

Not reliably. The operator lists transport to the pier, but the GetYourGuide listing does not mark it as a pickup trip, so check the option at checkout before you rely on it. If you need a confirmed pickup, choose a trip that is marked as one, such as the buffet-and-drinks trip from Costa Adeje.

English and Spanish, according to the listing. If your group needs French, German or Italian, the no-chase catamaran from Los Cristianos has guides in 5 languages, from €28 for 1.5 hours. Ask the operator before you book if you need another language.
