Set sail from Puerto Colón on a three-hour catamaran that balances easy relaxation with active snorkeling and frequent whale- and dolphin-spotting opportunities. Expect calm southern seas, stops at quiet coves for a swim, and panoramic views of Teide and the Fañabé and Torviscas beaches.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips out of Puerto Colón with the south coast of Tenerife peeling away into blue: cliffs, black lava sand beaches and Teide’s summit keeping watch on the horizon. Salt and sunscreen mingle on the breeze, and the deck hums with easy chatter as the boat finds a steady rhythm. The Atlantic dares you to dive; the current pushes the hull onward toward hidden coves.
