Kalima Kat Tenerife, Small Group Whale And Dolphin Watching From Puerto Colón
Join the Kalima Kat for a 3-hour shared whale and dolphin watching trip from Puerto Colón. Two things set this one apart. It carries a maximum of 22 people, which is a fraction of what the big boats from the same harbour take. And you are fed properly: paella with chicken, tortilla and bread, plus drinks and snorkelling gear, all included. So 49€ is what the day costs, not the starting point. You sail out to where the resident pilot whales and dolphins are, anchor in a cove for a swim and a snorkel, then cruise back along the coast with Teide behind you. Three departures daily, booked with a 14€ deposit. This is the shared, per-person trip. Want the whole boat? See the Private Kalima Kat Charter.
Reserve with just 14€ and pay the rest at the harbour, so you are not laying out the full amount months ahead. Groups of 4 or more get an automatic discount. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, or 48 hours for groups. A real local team on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00, answering in English, Spanish, Dutch and more, so if the weather turns or your plans move you have someone to talk to. Pay however you like, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut, iDEAL and Bancontact. Backed by the Club Canary Best Price Guarantee. Club Canary is an official ticket seller, the boat is run by its licensed operator.
Adults 49€, children 2 to 12 40€, under 2 free. Food, drinks and snorkel gear included. Groups of 4 or more save automatically.

🏁 Blue Boat certified. The Kalima Kat holds the Blaues Schiff certification under Decree 178/2000 of the Canary Islands Government, the regional rules covering maritime activity.
The operator states this guarantees their excursions respect marine life and its natural habitat. Not every boat leaving Puerto Colón carries it, so if watching wildlife responsibly matters to you, it is worth knowing which boat you are stepping onto.
Kalima Kat Walbeobachtung ab Puerto Colón
The Kalima Kat is one of the nicer small boats leaving Puerto Colón to watch whales and dolphins. The whole thing runs on a simple idea: fewer people, better trip. With a cap of 22 Gäste, you are not queuing for the rail or watching through somebody's phone screen. It is a medium sized catamaran with a friendly multilingual crew, sunbathing space, shade, and a swim stop in a bay along the way.
What You Are Actually Looking For
The waters off Costa Adeje hold resident pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins all year round, which is why this stretch of coast is one of the more reliable places in Europe to see them. No boat can promise sightings, and we will not pretend otherwise, but the odds here are good and the crew knows where to look.
Kalima Kat Prices And Group Savings
Per person pricing, with savings that kick in automatically once you book 4 or more adults. No codes, no fake discounts, the selector just shows you the lower price.
Group savings, applied automatically.
4 or more adults: 10 € Rabatt auf die Gesamtsumme. 8 or more: 20€ off. 12 or more: 30€ off. 16 or more: 40€ off.
That brings a group of 4 or more down to roughly 46,50€ each, on a boat that only takes 22 people in the first place. If you are 8 or more, you are getting close to filling the deck, so it is worth asking us whether the Privatflug works out better for you.
Was passiert auf der Reise?
Three hours along the Costa Adeje coast, out to where the whales and dolphins are, then a stop to swim before heading back. Relaxed rather than rushed, and easy with kids.
Abreise: from Puerto Colón, Gate 4. Be there 15 minutes early so the crew can get everyone aboard on time.
Out to the whales: the crew heads for the stretch of water where pilot whales and dolphins are usually found. Engines drop when something is spotted, so you get proper time to watch rather than a drive-by. Turtles and rays turn up more often than people expect.
The swim stop: the boat anchors in a cove near Playa del Veril so you can swim and snorkel. All the gear is on board and it is included.
Food, served on board: paella with chicken, a piece of Spanish tortilla and bread. Not a bag of crisps, an actual plate of food, and it is in the ticket price.
Drinks, also included: soft drinks (Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Sprite, Fanta), San Miguel beer, white wine, cava and water.
The way back: a slow cruise along the coast past Fañabé and Torviscas, with Teide standing behind the island the whole way. This is the stretch people take their photos on.
On deck: sunbathing space, shaded seating, a toilet and a changing room. The crew is a captain and a sailor, both multilingual, and genuinely good with families.
Shared Trip Or Private Charter, Which One?
Same boat, two ways to book it. Here is the honest split so you pick the right one rather than finding out on the pontoon.
Take the shared trip if: you are 1 to 6 people and want a good value 3-hour trip with a small group. At 49€ a head it is one of the better value boats leaving Puerto Colón.
Take the shared trip if: you do not mind sharing with a handful of other guests and would rather put the money into something else on your holiday.
Consider the private charter if: you are 8 or more. Once you are that many, the ganzes Boot starts to make sense, and it comes with food and drinks included.
Consider the private charter if: it is a birthday, a stag or hen group, or you simply want nobody else on board.
Being honest about busy days: in peak summer a full boat of 22 feels busy, and that is just what a shared trip is. Book a quieter season or an earlier departure and you will have more room.

- Club Canary does not profit from a late cancellation. The charge covers what the boat loses.
- If your plans are uncertain, cancel early. It costs you nothing more than 24 hours out.

- Whales and dolphins are wild animals. The crew knows where they usually are and sightings are common on this stretch of coast, but no sighting can be guaranteed and no refund is given if they do not appear.
Am Tag
- Raise anything directly with the Kalima Kat crew, as Club Canary is not on board and cannot judge a situation at sea.
- Arriving after departure counts as a no-show. The boat cannot wait, it has two more trips that day.
Kalima Kat Whale Watching, Common Questions
How many people are on the Kalima Kat whale watching trip?
Ein Maximum von 22 Gäste, and that cap is the whole point of this boat. It is a shared trip, so you will have other guests on board, but never a crowd. You are not queuing for a spot at the rail or watching a pilot whale over somebody else's phone screen. Children and babies count towards the 22, so if your group is large, tell the Club Canary team and we will check the space before you book.
What food and drinks are included on the Kalima Kat trip?
Real food, not a bag of crisps. You get paella with chicken, a piece of Spanish tortilla and bread, served on board. Drinks are included too: soft drinks (Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Sprite, Fanta), San Miguel beer, white wine, cava and water. All the Schnorchelausrüstung is provided as well, for the swim stop in a cove near Playa del Veril. It is all in the ticket price, so 49€ is what the day costs rather than a starting point. If anyone in your group has an allergy or a dietary need, tell Club Canary when you book so we can pass it to the crew in advance.
Warum sollte man die „Kalima Kat“ mit Club Canary buchen?
A few practical reasons. You reserve with just a 14 € Pfand and pay the rest at the harbour, so you are not laying out the full amount months ahead. Groups of 4 or more get an automatic discount. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before, or 48 hours for groups. You can pay however you like, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut, iDEAL and Bancontact. And if the weather turns or your plans move, there is a real local team on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00 answering in English, Spanish, Dutch and more, rather than a form that replies in three days. Everything is backed by the Club Canary Best Price Guarantee, and you can book the rest of your trip in the same place. See all whale watching trips in Tenerife.
Is there a group discount for the Kalima Kat trip?
Yes, and it applies automatically in the booking selector, no code needed. 4 or more adults save 10€, 8 or more save 20€, 12 or more save 30€ und 16 or more save 40€ off the total. That brings a group of four down to around 46,50€ each. If you are 8 or more, it is worth asking whether the Private Kalima Kat Charter works out better, because at that size you are close to filling a 22-seat boat anyway.
What happens if I need to cancel my Kalima Kat trip?
Abbrechen more than 24 hours before departure and it is free, with a full refund of your deposit. Groups of 4 or more get a longer 48 hour free window. Between 12 und 24 Stunden the deposit is not refunded and there is nothing further to pay. Between 3 and 12 hours the deposit is not refunded plus 20€ per person. Under 3 Stunden or a no-show, the deposit is not refunded plus 30€ per adult and 25€ per child. The boat only takes 22 people, so a late cancellation is a large share of a departure that cannot be resold the same afternoon. Cancel through Club Canary by email to office@clubcanary.com or on WhatsApp, not with the boat directly, so the seats are released properly.
Should I book the shared trip or the private Kalima Kat charter?
It comes down to numbers. The shared trip at 49€ a head is the right call for 1 to 6 people who want good value and do not mind a handful of other guests on board. The Private Kalima Kat Charter gives you the whole boat, runs 3 or 6 hours instead of 3, and includes a full food menu and drinks. Once you are 8 or more it starts to make real sense, and by 12 or more it usually wins outright. Message the Club Canary team with your group size and we will do the maths for you honestly, even when the answer is the cheaper one.
Will I definitely see whales and dolphins on the Kalima Kat trip?
Nobody can promise you a sighting, and any boat that does is selling you something. What we can tell you is that the water off Costa Adeje has resident pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins all year round, which is why this stretch of coast is one of the more reliable places in Europe to look for them. It is not a seasonal migration you might miss. The crew knows where the pods usually are and drops the engines when something is spotted, so you get proper time to watch rather than a drive-by. Turtles and rays turn up more often than people expect. Because these are wild animals, no refund is given if they do not appear, and that applies to every whale watching boat in Tenerife, not just this one.
Where do I meet the Kalima Kat, and is there parking at Puerto Colón?
Treffen bei Puerto Colón, Gate 4, in Costa Adeje, an der Vorderseite des Hafens. Kommen Sie mindestens 15 Minuten before your departure time so the crew can board everyone without rushing. The boat cannot wait, because it runs three trips a day and has to keep to the schedule, so arriving after departure counts as a no-show. Parking at Puerto Colón is around 1.201 TP1268T pro Stunde and there is usually space, though it fills up in peak summer, so leave yourself a few extra minutes. Öffnen Sie den Treffpunkt auf Google Maps. If you cannot find it on the day, message the Club Canary team on WhatsApp and we will point you straight there.

Die Ehrliche Meinung von Club Canary
Ehrliche Worte von eurem lokalen Team von den Kanarischen Inseln
If you want to see whales and dolphins in Tenerife without paying VIP money, this is one we are comfortable recommending. The cap of 22 people is the whole point. Plenty of boats leaving Puerto Colón carry three or four times that, and the difference between watching a pilot whale from a quiet deck and watching it over fifty phone screens is enormous.
The honest bit: it is good value, not luxury. On a full summer departure it feels busy, and no boat can promise you a sighting. What we can tell you is that this stretch of coast has resident pilot whales and dolphins year round, so the odds are genuinely good, and the boat holds the Blaues Schiff certification, so the crew keeps a legal distance rather than chasing pods.
Two money points. Paella with chicken, tortilla, bread, drinks and snorkel gear are all in the 49€, which is not true of every boat at this price, so check what you are actually comparing. And groups of 4 or more save automatically, bringing it to around 46,50€ a head. If you are 8 or more, ask us about the private charter, because at that size the whole boat can work out better.
Small boat, fair price, swim stop included. Book with 14€ and pay the rest at the harbour.
