Sunset Catamaran Tour with Transfer, Buffet & Drinks

Our Full Review of This Catamaran Trip

The catamaran trip at a glance

Sunset Catamaran Tour with Transfer, Buffet & Drinks sails from Costa Adeje (Puerto Colón) and lasts 3 hours. The listing sells one option: “Sunset Catamaran Tour with Transfer, Food & Drinks” from €64. On the options we checked for 15 October 2026, boats left at 17:00. The listing does not state a maximum group size, so expect a shared deck. The crew guides in English and Spanish.

Prices start at €64 per person, checked on 23 Sep 2026. Of the 27 per-person trips from Costa Adeje, 20 cost less and six more; the middle price here is €55. By rating it is ninth of the 25 boats from this port with twenty or more reviews (★ 4.7 from 946 reviews).

A catamaran rests on two hulls, which keeps it level and makes it the steadiest choice after the purpose-built eco-yachts. Most have a shaded deck and room to move about, and many have nets at the bow — the best seats when dolphins ride the bow wave.

Who this catamaran trip suits

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

The listing says nothing about wheelchairs; ask the operator through the partner page before booking.

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: “Try to spot whales and dolphins”, “Enjoy alcohol on board” and “Try a selection of local tapas”.

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 not among the 31 boats from this port that include a swim or snorkel stop and it is one of 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 €64 buys on this catamaran trip

According to the listing the price includes hotel transfer, buffet, local selection of tapas, unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, fruit and sweets, all safety equipment and 3 crew.

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.

What travellers say after the catamaran trip

946 travellers have reviewed this trip on GetYourGuide, for an average of ★ 4.67 out of 5. They score guide 4.8, transport 4.8 and value for money 4.7. The average value-for-money score across the established boats from Costa Adeje is 4.6, so this one is above the port average.

We read the four most recent reviews (from 2 Sep 2026 to 21 Sep 2026), which average ★ 4.8. Three mention whales, one mentions dolphins, two mention the crew or the guide and one mentions the food or drinks. Four reviews are a sample, not a verdict — the average above covers everyone.

How this catamaran 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 four catamarans (from €35). Island-wide, 37 of the 57 per-person trips cost less, and by number of reviews it is number 19 of 72 (the full list).

The one real drawback we found is the price — from €64, 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 catamaran trip

The meeting point, as the listing gives it: Hotel pickup from the south of the island — exact time and spot after booking. 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. With hotel pickup the operator confirms the time and place after you book; pickups cover the south of the island.

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

The best month and time for this catamaran 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. The sea runs from 19.2 °C in March to 23.8 °C in September; on a trip without a swim it only decides how warm the spray feels.

July and August are the windiest months and September and October the calmest (month by month). Departures on this listing leave in the afternoon, when the summer trade wind is at its strongest; in July and August pick a calm day or a steadier boat. As a sunset trip its start time moves with the light — sunset falls between 18:14 and 21:06 through the year.

Our verdict on this catamaran trip

Book this catamaran trip if you want a meal on board as part of the trip, you want hotel pickup and no driving or you want the evening light on the water.

Skip it if you only want the whales, not the extras (Whale & Dolphin-Watching Cruise with Swim costs €26.40).
