Your Experience

Getting Started
You will be picked up from your accommodation in South Tenerife and driven to Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. After check-in, board the modern catamaran and receive a short briefing from the crew on safety, wildlife behavior, and the planned route. Settle into shaded or open seating areas as the vessel departs the harbor and heads toward the Teno-Rasca protected marine area.

The crew offers real-time commentary about species behavior, migration patterns, and conservation efforts. The catamaran follows a steady route along the coastline, giving you clear views of volcanic cliffs, open ocean, and coastal rock formations.
