Why book this activity
Choose Maxicat if you want most of the logistics bundled into one half-day outing. Lunch, drinks and selected resort transfers are included, and the itinerary combines wildlife watching with time in the water rather than ending immediately after the cetacean search. It is especially convenient for visitors staying in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos and other supported southern pickup areas.
Who is it for
Best for couples, families and groups staying in south Tenerife who want a straightforward three-hour cruise with most practical extras included. It suits travellers who prefer a larger catamaran, want lunch and drinks onboard, appreciate hotel-area pickup and would like time to swim after the wildlife-watching section.
Who should skip it
Choose a smaller yacht or small-group catamaran if passenger numbers and a quieter atmosphere matter most. Choose a longer Los Gigantes route if dramatic cliff scenery is a priority. This product is not currently listed as wheelchair accessible, and snorkeling equipment is not included.
What to expect
Use the pickup option shown with your booking or make your own way to Puerto Colón, Pontoon 9.

After boarding, the crew gives a safety briefing and the catamaran heads into Tenerife’s south-west whale-watching waters in search of whales, dolphins and other marine life. A live guide in English or Spanish provides commentary. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Lunch and drinks are included. The current onboard menu includes a Canarian-style adult option, a children’s meal and a vegetarian/vegan alternative; tell the supplier in advance about allergies or dietary requirements.

The route continues to Diego Hernández Bay for swimming and snorkeling when sea and safety conditions allow. Bring your own snorkeling equipment if you want to snorkel.

The cruise returns along the Costa Adeje coastline to Puerto Colón, followed by the included transfer for passengers who booked pickup.
