Choose the eco-catamaran option from Puerto Colón for a three-hour whale-watching cruise with refreshments and swimming time

Overview

This three-hour eco-catamaran cruise leaves Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje for whale and dolphin watching along Tenerife’s south-west coast. The package includes assorted sandwiches and drinks, live guiding in English and Spanish, underwater listening equipment used to hear cetacean sounds, and time for swimming when sea conditions allow. The current maximum group size is 64. Snorkeling equipment and towels are not included. It is a good fit for travellers who want a larger shared catamaran with a distinctive marine-listening feature rather than a small-group yacht.

About the attraction
Choose this cruise if the eco-catamaran format and underwater listening element appeal to you. The three-hour duration is easy to fit into a resort day, refreshments are already included, and the boat is large enough for travellers who prefer more deck space than a 10- or 12-person vessel. The wildlife-search route remains the focus, with swimming added when conditions are suitable.
Who is it for
Best for travellers staying in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas or nearby southern resorts who want a shared catamaran, refreshments and a swim stop in one three-hour outing. It also suits anyone curious about hearing cetacean sounds through the onboard underwater audio equipment. Live guiding is currently in English and Spanish.
Who should skip it
Choose a small-group catamaran if a low passenger count and quieter atmosphere matter more than the eco-catamaran format. Choose a longer Los Gigantes route if dramatic west-coast scenery is a priority. Skip this ticket if flexible cancellation is essential, or if wheelchair accessibility is required, because the current experience is not listed as wheelchair accessible.
What to expect
Check in at the White Tenerife office at Puerto Colón, Avenida de Colón 5, for the current 10:30 departure.

The catamaran sails into Tenerife’s south-western whale-watching waters in search of whales and dolphins. English- and Spanish-speaking guides provide commentary, while underwater sound equipment and speakers are used to listen for cetacean vocalisations when possible.

Assorted sandwiches and drinks are included. The itinerary also allows time for swimming when sea and safety conditions permit. Snorkeling equipment and towels are not provided, so bring your own towel and any personal snorkel gear you want to use.
