Freebird Puerto de la Cruz – Whale Watching Boat Trip with Pick-Up
Looking for a boat trip Puerto de la Cruz that actually works without you planning a whole expedition? This is the classic Freebird catamaran experience with a pick-up option from Puerto de la Cruz (North Tenerife), taking you down to Puerto Colón for a proper Tenerife whale watching boat trip. Freebird is one of the most well-known catamarans in Tenerife and has been running whale watching trips in Tenerife for many years. Most people already know the boat. They book it because it’s reliable, spacious, professionally run, and the route is a solid one: whales and dolphins first, then the coastline flex with Los Gigantes and Masca.
Paadiretked Põhja-Tenerife
Your day starts with the Freebird Puerto de la Cruz pick-up. Pick-ups can be early (sometimes around 11:15) to avoid traffic, so you arrive relaxed in the south. Once you’re in Puerto Colón, the Freebird departs from gate 10 or gate 15 (both near the end of the harbour by the fuel station). The trip is the 4.5-hour Freebird whale watching excursion, usually from 13:15 to 17:45. If you’re early in Puerto Colón, that’s not a problem. Grab a coffee, walk around the harbour, and be ready when the boat returns from the morning trip. That way you can be among the first onboard and you’ll have the best chance to get the Freebird Gold sunbeds (they can’t be reserved in advance).

It’s one of the best organized options if you want a whale watching Puerto de la Cruz experience with pick-up included.
Food & Drinks (Same as the Freebird 4.5h Trip)
