About This Excursion

Sail the Adeje Coast, Watch Whales and Dolphins, and Swim in a Quiet Bay. Food, Drinks and Snorkel Included

Three hours. A sailing boat. Maximum 11 guests. The Adeje coastline, open water, and the best whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife. At a price that makes it one of the smartest choices you can make on this holiday.

Depart from Puerto Colón Gate 1 and head out along the coast. Pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles are regularly encountered in these waters. The boat operates a strict no-chase policy, which means the wildlife comes to you on its own terms. That is how you get the good encounters.

When the wildlife watching is done, the boat pulls into a quiet bay for a swim-and-snorkel stop. The water is clear, the snorkel gear is ready, and there is no rush.

Back on board, the bar is open. Beer, wine, soft drinks, water and juices are all included. Sandwiches and snacks are served throughout. Eleven guests maximum means space, comfort and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere from start to finish.

Want the boat entirely for your group? The private charter takes up to 11 people for €400. Perfect for a birthday, a family day out, or a group that wants their own space on the water without the luxury yacht price tag. Three departure times daily at 10:00, 13:00 and 16:00. Arrive at Puerto Colón Gate 1 at least 15 minutes before departure. Babies aged 0 to 2 sail free. Secure your spot with a deposit and pay the rest on the day.

Common Questions About This Tour

The waters off the Adeje coast are home to resident pilot whale populations year-round, with bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles regularly spotted in the same area. The boat operates a strict no-chase policy, meaning the crew never pursues wildlife and allows animals to approach naturally. This is both the most responsible and the most effective way to get genuine, unhurried encounters. Sightings can never be guaranteed with wild animals, but the conditions along this stretch of coastline are as reliable as anywhere in the world.

Both options use the same sailing boat with the same crew, the same open bar, snacks, snorkel stop and wildlife watching. The shared trip places you alongside a maximum of 10 other guests, which already makes for a relaxed and personal experience. The private charter at €400 gives your entire group the boat to yourselves for three hours. Up to 11 people, no other guests, and the freedom to enjoy the day entirely on your terms. At €400 for a group it works out exceptional value and is perfect for families, birthdays or a group of friends who want their own space on the water.

The open bar runs throughout the trip and includes beer, wine, soft drinks, water and juices. Sandwiches and snacks are also served on board. Everything is included in the ticket price with no extras to pay on the day. If anyone in your group has dietary requirements or allergies, let us know at the time of booking and we will pass that on. Babies aged 0 to 2 sail entirely free of charge.

Very little. Food, drinks and snorkelling equipment are all included. Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. A light layer is worth having for the sea breeze, particularly on the early morning and late afternoon departures. Arrive at Puerto Colón Gate 1 at least 15 minutes before your chosen departure time. The boat follows a strict timetable and cannot wait for late arrivals. Parking is available inside the harbour at around €1.20 per hour if you are driving.

A deposit of €30 per adult and €15 per child secures your places. The balance is paid on the day before departure. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure and receive a full refund of your deposit. If sea conditions make it unsafe to go out on your chosen day, you will be offered a rescheduled date or a full refund. Three departure times run daily at 10:00, 13:00 and 16:00. Book early to secure your preferred slot as the boat is limited to 11 guests per departure.

We always do our best to secure the exact excursion you've booked. In the unlikely event that the tour operator can't fulfil your booking request, we'll contact you as soon as possible with the best available alternatives, whether that's a different date, departure time or a similar excursion.

If none of the alternatives are suitable, we'll process a full refund immediately.

At Proper Excursion, we're committed to making booking excursions in Tenerife simple and stress-free. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and work with you to find the best possible solution.
