What to do and see in Adeje, Canary Islands: The Best Sightseeing Tours

January 23, 2022 Brandee Mangan

With the dramatic backdrop of 12,200-foot Mount Teide towering behind the resort, Adeje makes an unforgettable vacation destination. Adeje is less than two miles from the boisterous nightlife of Playa de las Americas, allowing visitors to choose whether to take it easy or to party. Bake in the sun on black volcanic sands before cooling down at a water park, such as popular Siam Park, or out windsurfing. Barranco del Infierno, Hell's Gorge, is a lush oasis, perfect for hiking.

Mt Teide and Masca Valley are both spectacular and well worth it. Samuel was a knowledgable guide and relayed information in Spanish, German and English. Los Gigantes, said to be included on Wednesdays on this on TripAdvisor booking, was not on the agenda of the firm operating it. After some discussion, they eventually included a photo opportunity of it though.

The “must do” for every tourist is a whale and dolphin watching trip on Tenerife. In one of the most popular places in the world you can experience a wonderful adventure. You are in company with whales and dolphins nearly face to face in the crystal clear blue water. The area around the Canary Islands has petitioned to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and even without the official certification, you will soon discover why this part of the world is so beloved. Look out for dolphins and pilot whales playing joyfully in the wake of your ship, and look up for the bird life high above. This is nature at its best, and your captain will be sure to point out the most populated dolphin and whale spots along the way. If you have never had a chance to experience these magnificent creatures up close, it is an experience you will never forget.

Inclusions: Alcoholic Beverages, Bottled water, Snacks, Soda/Pop, Use of Snorkelling equipment

In this guided tour, our monitors with more than 30 years of experience in water and underwater activities as well as biologist and geologist explain to the client the orography of Tenerife both in the outer part near the coast and in the submerged part that they can see with their own eyes. Pictures and videos will be taken during the whole excursion and at the end of the activity they will be given as a present to each of the participants. And this excursion is also special because the visitor to the island will be able to see how the island was formed both on the outside and inside as a result of the volcanic activity.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Use of Snorkelling equipment, Photos and videos

I chose this company randomly for our very first scuba diving experience, only a 2-hour "try dive" event for completely beginners to make our last days in Tenerife memorable...and what a great decision! Giorgia, their coordinator was super helpful, responded very fast and managed to organize a tour within days we want just for two of us, starting even after their regular working hours. Paco, the diving instructor was also fantastic, I have a kind of hypervigilant personality and some fear of deep water, and actually a first-time dive can be a bit scary for anybody but his expertise and calmness made me feel completely safe during the whole session in the sea. He also had a great sense of humor. After an online training in advance, he told us all the basic information about diving and the required equipment we need to know (everything was provided for us), showed us some nice rocks while cruising with his boat to the diving area, then he managed to bring us a couple of meters down in the water and took some funny pictures. It was a great introductory experience for a very reasonable price. Thank you!

We had a great day on the water with the team from Atlantic Eco Experience. David and Higinio took us to two large groups of pilot whales during our 3 hour tour, showed us dolphins and turtles and gave us lots of additional information. The animals came very close to the boat. During the tour plastic garbage is collected from the sea, to keep the ocean clean. It was an unforgettable day! Thank you very much for this wonderful experience! I can absolutely recommend the tour with the sustainable approach with this operator.

Amazing! I am very happy that we chose this company/boat! The marine biologists taught us about the animals we saw & it was great to see that they care enough to for example stop and pull a plastic box out of the ocean. After the tour they even send you some pictures, so you can enjoy the ride and not worry about taking pictures. Even the ride was quite fun - the boat can go quite fast and is quite light and therefore can nearly "jump" on waves. Would come back any time!

In a pleasant environment we will sail in a comfortable and safe sailboat with 11 places available, having information at all times of what we will see if they wish. I will tell you the history of each beach, animals and building that we will find. We will go in some paradisiacal bays and we will anchor to discover the fauna species that live in them. We will eat different tapas, accompanied by cold drinks. Then we will leave for the port of departure, coasting to appreciate the charm of the coves accessible only by boat. In complete relaxation, the trip will end discovering the secrets of the most beautiful area in the south of Tenerife. For the little ones there will be a memory of the journey! Captain Max
