Whale watching in Costa Adeje ranks among Tenerife’s most rewarding activities. The calm waters off the southwest coast create ideal conditions for spotting marine life year-round. A handful of operators offer distinct experiences: The 3-hour catamaran trips include lunch and snorkeling – perfect for families. I especially recommend the private tours, which avoid crowds and provide more intimate wildlife encounters. For photography buffs, the glass-bottom boats deliver unique viewing angles of these magnificent creatures. The longer 5-8 hour charters, while pricier, offer the best chances to observe sperm whales and pilot whales in their element. Let’s explore the top whale watching options in Costa Adeje.
