Experience whale and dolphin watching on a catamaran in Costa Adeje, South Tenerife
One of the best ways to check out the South coast of the island and soak in the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean is by hopping on the Maxicat catamaran tour: sailing, whale and dolphinswatching, snorkeling, and epic views—could you ask for anything better?
Whale watching on a catamaran in Costa Adeje, South Tenerife
This awesome experience lets you explore the coastline from Costa Adeje to Los Gigantes and spot dolphins and pilot whales, a resident species you can see all year round in the marine area between Tenerife and the island of La Gomera.
The activity kicks off and wraps up in Puerto Colón (super close to Duque Nest Hostel), and it not only includes food and drinks, but it also offers a free pick-up service from various locations in both the North and South. Depending on how much time you want to spend on the water, you can pick between the 3-hour and 5-hour excursion.
A highlight of this tour is the snorkeling stop near the beach of Masca, right by the stunning “Acantilados de Los Gigantes.” These jaw-dropping vertical cliffs, formed by volcanic activity, soar up to 600 meters high and are some of the tallest in the world. You’ll definitely want to check this out!
On the way back, the ecological catamaran cruises along the stunning beaches of La Caleta, Playa de la Enramada, Playa del Veril, Playa del Duque, Playa Fañabé, Playa Torviscas, and Playa la Pinta, giving you the chance to snap some incredible pictures of the diverse landscape.

Among the tour operators offering boat trips for whale watching in Tenerife, Maxicat is one of the most popular and highly rated options. With affordable prices and a peaceful sailing experience compared to speedboats, you’re in for a treat. Are you ready to hop on this adventure?
Catamarans are eco-friendly. Whales don’t suffer from this, and dolphins, which are very social with humans, often come close to the boat, curious and wanting to be photographed.
What should you wear for whale watching?
It really depends on the weather and the time of year, but it’s always a good idea to have a windproof jacket with you or something heavier to pack.
