About this experience
Set sail from Puerto Colón and cruise along Tenerife’s south coast in search of dolphins and pilot whales, always respecting their natural habitat. We hold the official “Blue Boat” certification and follow strict responsible tourism guidelines as members of Tenerife’s Whale Watching Sustainability Charter. We maintain a minimum distance of 60 meters, limit sightings to 30 minutes, and navigate at low speed, always parallel to the animals without crossing their path. We also avoid overcrowding and leave the area if their behavior changes. Our catamaran is the only vessel in Puerto Colón with underwater viewing windows. The spacious, air-conditioned lower deck offers a unique and comfortable way to observe marine life.

A Tenerife must do
Really good trip. Boat was fully booked and albeit all seats taken on the upper deck there was still room to get by and down to lower decks. The 1st leg to Los Gigantes was really good and amazing to see so many flying fish and the distance they fly. Once at the bay where we stopped for a much needed cooling down by swimming in the bay below the stunning volcanic cliffs. Felt very safe and no strong tidal currents in the bay. Lunch was served and we were pleasantly surprised at how tasty lunch was. Homemade red cabbage slaw, veg rice and chicken meatballs. Free flowing soft drinks, beers and sangria during the day. To top off an amazing day we saw two separate pods of short pilot whales with mum and babies often breaching to take in air. Boat stayed with the family (in silence) enough time for everyone to see and take pics before moving on and finding a second smaller pod. In all we had a fantastic day and to see the whales made it extra special.

Far too overcrowded
Was far too overcrowded, everyone squashed and no space to relax. People should be given a seat and made to feel comfortable

Definitely worth it!
We really enjoyed our trip, staff really friendly and helpful! Unfortunately our swim stop was cut short as someone spot ill on the boat, and we didn’t have time to go back. But other than that, we had an amazing time and highly recommend. We saw dolphins and whales during our trip. Bottomless drinks available and food provided was really lovely! They even brought round some local honey rum to finish off the trip, stunning!

What a brilliant day
Just wow , what a wonderful experience we saw lots of pilot whales and seas up so close .beautiful scenery and the chance to take a swim . The staff were fantastic friendly and the guide was informative. The food wasn’t to my taste but I am pretty fussy and I still managed to get by . Lots of drinks on tap ( self serve) toilets were clean with enough to mean no queues . I’ve been on a few of these excursions and this by far beats them all hands down . I highly recommend

A nice experience
A nice experience, we could see the caldoneros and the dolphins. But the boat was full of people and the food was nit the best.

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.
Is 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hour whale & dolphin watching mini cruise from Puerto Colón start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, Group Surfing Lesson at Playa de las Américas, Tenerife, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tenerife?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tenerife?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
