Located off the southern coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Costa Adeje provides a rare blend of dramatic volcanic coastline, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life that draws outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. White Tenerife offers a distinctive way to engage with this environment through their exclusive 3-hour sailing adventure focused on whale and dolphin watching.
This small-group experience limits participants to 11 guests aboard a sleek, comfortable sailboat designed for smooth navigation and generous deck space. The vessel departs from Marina Puerto Colón, where guests set off to the rich Atlantic waters frequented by podding dolphins and migrating whales, including species like pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins commonly found in this region.
What sets White Tenerife apart is the seamless combination of wildlife observation, active engagement, and relaxation. Guests get the chance to pause and snorkel in secluded coves with remarkably clear water. Here, the underwater world unfolds with local marine flora and multicolored fish darting around volcanic rocks. Onboard, varied snacks, refreshing drinks, and even beers complement the sun-soaked deck time.
This outing strikes a balance between adventure and leisure, ideal for families and wildlife lovers who want an intimate, safe, and eco-conscious encounter with Tenerife’s ocean giants. The experienced captain ensures not only a secure trip but also guides guests to maximize sightings while minimizing environmental impact.

Trips are available in 3-hour and 5-hour formats, combining wildlife observation with snorkeling, swimming in clear coves, and onboard catering such as snacks and drinks. On the three-hour experiences guests can expect focused wildlife watching, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and comfortable deck space for relaxation. The five-hour eco catamaran expands the route to include the dramatic cliffs of Los Gigantes and the bay of Masca, adding more time for swimming and scenic cruising.

Amenities described for these trips include glass-bottom viewing, underwater sound experiences for listening to marine life, complimentary catering on some departures, and safety-focused operations on the exclusive sailing option.
