See Whales in Exclusive Yacht Tour with Swim and Lunch

Our Full Review of This Yacht Trip

The yacht trip at a glance

See whales in Tenerife: exclusive yacht tour with swim and lunch sails from Costa Adeje (Puerto Colón) and lasts 3 hours. The listing sells three options: “food, drinks and swimming in the sea, 10.00 am direct to the pier” from €58, “food, drinks and swimming in the sea, 1:00 pm direct to the pier” from €58 and “lunch, drinks and swim in the sea at 10.00 am, including pick-up” from €67. On the options we checked for 15 October 2026, boats left at 10:00 and 13:00. The listing does not state a maximum group size, so expect a shared deck. The crew guides in German, English, Spanish, Italian and French.

Prices start at €58 per person, checked on 23 Sep 2026. Of the 27 per-person trips from Costa Adeje, 14 cost less and twelve more; the middle price here is €55. By rating it is tenth of the 25 boats from this port with twenty or more reviews (★ 4.7 from 354 reviews).

A motor yacht is the comfortable version of a small boat: cushioned seats, some shade, a smaller group than a catamaran and usually a swim platform at the stern.

Who this yacht trip suits

The listing sets no minimum age. Three-hour trips are long for small children; the family guide lists the shorter boats.

The operator lists it as not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility; the accessibility guide names the boats that do take wheelchairs.

If you are prone to seasickness, sit low and in the middle of the boat, watch the horizon, eat lightly beforehand and take a remedy before you board, not once you feel unwell.

What the operator promises, and what we can check

In the operator’s own words, the trip offers: “Sail on an exclusive yacht for 20 passengers with plenty of space”, “Enjoy a responsible tour with Blue Flag certification”, “Swim in crystal-clear waters off the coast of Tenerife” and “Enjoy a full lunch with drinks included”.

We cannot check every promise from a desk, but we can set it against the other 35 listings from Costa Adeje: at 3 hours it is as long as the typical three-hour trip from Costa Adeje, it is one of the 31 boats from this port that include a swim or snorkel stop and it is not among the seven trips from here with hotel pickup. Every licensed boat follows the same rules near the animals — 60 metres, 30 minutes, 4 knots — so a promise to respect the whales is a floor, not an extra (the rules).

What €58 buys on this yacht trip

According to the listing the price includes trip on an exclusive yacht with a maximum of 20 passengers, offering an intimate and comfortable atmosphere throughout the experience, stop to swim and relax in the crystal-clear waters off the coast of Tenerife, the perfect moment to cool off and enjoy the ocean and a professional multilingual guide who will provide you with information and support at all times.

The price is per person; children’s prices, where the operator offers them, show in the calendar once you choose the number of people. Free cancellation runs up to 24 hours before the start, with a full refund — the same terms as every boat on this site. The price in the calendar for your date is the one that counts; ours is a snapshot.

Two mention whales, one mentions dolphins, one mentions turtles, two mention the crew or the guide, one mentions the swim and one mentions seasickness.

How this yacht trip compares with the other boats from Costa Adeje

36 whale watching boats sell trips from Costa Adeje (see them all). The most reviewed is Whale & Dolphin Eco-Cruise with Snacks & Drinks (5,795 reviews), the best rated with twenty or more reviews is Puerto Colon: Dolphin and Whale Watching Speedboat Cruise (★ 5.0 from 34 reviews) and the cheapest with a hundred reviews or more is Whale & Dolphin-Watching Cruise with Swim at €26.40. From here the run to deep water takes about 25 minutes (our estimate from operator descriptions); Los Gigantes is the shortest on the island.

Besides this one, Costa Adeje has nine private boats (from €300 per boat), eight motor boats (from €30), seven sailboats (from €55) and five catamarans (from €35). Island-wide, 28 of the 57 per-person trips cost less, and by number of reviews it is number 27 of 72 (the full list).

The one real drawback we found is the price — from €58, against €26.40 for the cheapest well-rated boat from Costa Adeje. If that matters to you, look at Whale & Dolphin-Watching Cruise with Swim: Whale & Dolphin-Watching Cruise with Swim costs €26.40. Everything else about the two trips — the whales, the rules, the free cancellation — is the same.

Getting to the yacht trip

The meeting point, as the listing gives it: The meeting point varies with the option: the shared trips go direct to the pier; the partner page shows the exact point for each. Puerto Colón lies at 28°04′07″N 16°44′02″W. From Las Américas it is 2.6 km / 7 min by road, and bus 467 stops nearby.

The listing does not say how early to arrive; allow a quarter of an hour to find the right pontoon. Bring hat, change of clothes and beachwear, as the listing advises. From Puerto de la Cruz it is 67 km, about 62 minutes, to Costa Adeje (bus 343).

The best month and time for this yacht trip

The pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins live off this coast all year, and operators report sightings on about 99 % of trips (operator data), so the month changes the weather, not the animals. For the swim stop, the sea is warmest in September (23.8 °C) and coolest in March (19.2 °C).

July and August are the windiest months and September and October the calmest (month by month). In the windy months the morning departures (10:00) are the calmer choice; the afternoon ones (13:00) meet the stronger trade wind.

Our verdict on this yacht trip

Book this yacht trip if you want lunch on board as part of the trip, you want the choice of hotel pickup or meeting at the pier or you want a swim in a cove after the whales.

Skip it if you need step-free boarding (see the accessibility guide) or you only want the whales, not the extras (Whale & Dolphin-Watching Cruise with Swim costs €26.40).
