Whale and Dolphin Catamaran Experience
Whale and Dolphin Catamaran Experience
At the selected time, we'll meet at the port of Colon, located on Costa Adeje. We'll board the eco-catamaran boat, which has a capacity for up to 60 people, and set off in the search for these elusive sea creatures!
Due to the marine currents that circulate the Canary Islands, we'll witness a variety of large cetacean creatures such as pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins. What you see on the day of your trip will depend on the weather conditions.
Not only will we see them swimming very close to us, but we'll also learn to understand their behavior by listening to them. These animals emit a diverse range of characteristic sounds as a way of communicating. Their language is so complicated that many experts recognize it as a ‘dialect’.
Halfway through our journey, we'll pause on our route so that you can also take a dip in the middle of the ocean. You can also recharge your batteries on board with the selection of some sandwiches and aperitifs including beer, soft drinks and mineral water. What's more, you'll have a chance to take a tip in the ocean as well.
Lastly, after three hours, we'll head back to the departure port, ending this incredible and unique experience.
