Climb aboard the Royal Delfín catamaran and discover the southwest coast of Tenerife with whale and dolphin watching and an exclusive underwater viewing area.
✨ About the experience
The Royal Delfín catamaran excursion is one of the most complete ways to experience the sea in southern Tenerife. Setting sail from Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje, this boat takes you to the waters where pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins live year-round, with a high chance of sightings throughout the year.
What really sets it apart is the underwater viewing: a glass-panelled area below the waterline from which you can peek at the seabed without getting wet, an ideal experience for families and for anyone who wants to see marine life from a different perspective.
You can choose between three durations. The 2-hour option focuses on the cruise and whale and dolphin watching. The 3-hour one sails to Playa de Diego Hernández with a swimming stop, free lunch and drinks included. The 4.5-hour one runs along the west coast from Costa Adeje to Los Gigantes, with a stop at Masca Bay to swim and enjoy lunch on board.
With multilingual guides, transport included and every comfort, it’s an excursion designed for you to enjoy whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife without a worry.
🧭 How the experience works
🚌 Pick-up and boarding at Puerto Colón
Round-trip transport from the south is included. Once at Puerto Colón, the crew welcomes you and settles you aboard the Royal Delfín catamaran before setting sail.
🐋 Sailing and whale and dolphin watching
The boat heads for the protected waters where dolphins and pilot whales live. With the help of the guides, you’ll enjoy the whale and dolphin watching while always keeping a safe distance from the animals.
🔭 Underwater viewing below the sea
Head down to the underwater viewing area to observe the seabed through its glass windows, a unique perspective on the world beneath the water.
🏊 Swimming stop and lunch (3h and 4h30)
On the 3h and 4h30 options, the catamaran anchors in a quiet cove (Playa de Diego Hernández or Masca Bay) so you can take a swim and enjoy the free lunch with drinks included.
⛵ Return to port
After the experience, the catamaran returns to Puerto Colón, from where the included transport takes you back to your pick-up point in the south.
