The best way to spot the dolphins and whales that frolic in the waters surrounding Tenerife is on a cruise. And this three-hour trip by catamaran to La Caleta does just that, and even throws in a refreshing swim before you head back to the port.

Cast off on this cruise around Costa Adeje, and you'll enjoy a different perspective on the dramatic terrain of the island. While sunning yourself and feeling a cool breeze wash over you, your captain will sail into waters known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales. With luck, you'll get to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Over three hours, you'll make waves around La Caleta, keeping your eyes peeled for signs of activity. What's more, you'll learn all about their habits, migration and food, and have time to contemplate their majestic beauty before enjoying a swim of your own. Then it'll be time to head back to Porto Colon while soaking up the sun.

The sunbeds were an excellent add on and definitely made the trip a lot more enjoyable in having your own area to relax. We had 2 at the front and had excellent views of the Pilot Whales and Dolphins.

En riktigt bra båtutflykt för att spana efter valar och delfiner! Jag uppskattade särskilt besättningens kunskap och respekt för djuren. De stängde av musiken när vi närmade oss djuren, höll avstånd och stannade inte för länge. Personligen hade jag gärna varit utan musik under hela turen, men helhetsupplevelsen var fantastisk. En utflykt jag varmt rekommenderar!

Fabulous - really good value and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Alles war super. Die Anlage vielleicht ein wenig zu groß, aber trotzdem wurde alles bewältigt. Sicherlich hat auch dieses Hotel unter Personalmangel zu leiden

The water park Siam was frustrating to say the least too much queuing up for long periods and the paragliding today with Yan and the boys was absolutely brilliant , they were so professional and great fun , really nice experience would highly recommend , the boat trip was very relaxing

Firstly, l would like to thank the team that looked after us during our trip, such fantastic happy bunnies!!! We enjoyed our trip, sang, danced, you name it, we did it. We saw the sharks as we anticipated and it was such a wonderful experience. Thank you, this is something l would definitely recommend.
