If you’ve ever dreamed of locking eyes with a wild whale, Costa Adeje might just make that dream come true. Here, the ocean is alive with majestic fins, playful splashes, and the thrill of never knowing what might surface next.
C osta Adeje is nestled in the Canary Islands and serves as a top-tier base for whale watching on Tenerife. Most tours set sail from Puerto Colón, a lively marina lined with cafés, shops, and the salty scent of the Atlantic. The waters between Tenerife and nearby La Gomera create a kind of natural open-air aquarium, offering frequent sightings of pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, and even cheeky short-finned pilot whales almost year-round. From Puerto Colón, you can choose between sleek sailboats for a tranquil cruise or spacious catamarans with sun decks perfect for soaking in the views. Don’t forget your camera—but brace yourself, because no photo can fully capture that heart-stopping moment when a whale arches through the waves and disappears into the blue.
One moment you’re leaving Puerto Colón, the next you’re face to face with the wild heart of the ocean. Out here, wonder is just a wave away.
