Freebird Catamaran, Quick Facts
The Whale Watching Classic, Booked The Smart Way
Most people already know the Freebird: it is the big, comfortable catamaran that has been doing licensed whale and dolphin trips from Puerto Colón for years. Watch the Freebird video and see the boat before you book, no sales pitch needed.
Honest expectations: in high season the boat feels lively and busy, some people love that atmosphere, others prefer smaller groups. Outside the summer months it is one of our favourite trips on the island, spacious, comfortable and relaxed. Staying in the north? You can also book the Freebird from Puerto de la Cruz.
3-Hour Classic Or 4.5-Hour Los Gigantes Cruise?
Same boat, same licensed crew, two very different days. Pick your pace.
- The compact classic: sail the south coast and search the whale and dolphin area with a licensed crew.
- Light refreshments included: a sandwich plus beer, soft drinks and water.
- Ideal if you want real whale watching without spending half your day at sea.
- The full cruise: extended whale and dolphin spotting, then along the Los Gigantes cliffs to Masca Bay.
- Lunch included: Huertano rice, bread and Canarian banana, plus beer, soft drinks, water and sangria. Special menus for celiacs and vegans on request.
- Scenery, swimming time and a more relaxed pace.
Freebird Gold Zone, The Front Sunbeds
One of the biggest reasons people choose the Freebird: the sunbeds at the front of the boat. They are never reservable in advance, they are arranged directly on board, first come, first served. A bed fits 2 people and costs 15€ on the 3-hour trip or 25€ on the 4.5-hour cruise. Board early, claim your spot, and the front row of the Atlantic is yours.

Freebird Questions (FAQ)
The questions people ask us most about the Freebird catamaran. Still unsure? Chat with our local team on WhatsApp, we help fast.
Mis on Freebird Catamaran Tenerifel?
Freebird on üks tuntumaid katamaraane Tenerifel ja on juba aastaid korraldanud vaala- ja delfiinivaatlusreise. Enamik külastajaid tunneb laeva juba enne broneerimist. See on populaarne, sest see on usaldusväärne, ruumikas, professionaalselt juhitud ja seda juhib kogenud kohalik meeskond.
Mis vahe on 3-tunnise ja 4,5-tunnise Freebird reisi vahel?
3-tunnine reis keskendub peamiselt vaalade ja delfiinide vaatlemisele Tenerife lõunarannikul, kusjuures pardal on aega lõõgastumiseks ja tavaliselt tehakse lühike ujumispeatus, kui mereolud seda võimaldavad. 4,5-tunnine reis on pikem ja hõlmab vaalade ja delfiinide vaatlemist ning purjetamist kaljude Los Gigantes suunas ja ujumispeatust Masca lahes, mis teeb sellest pigem poolepäevase kogemuse.
Millised toidud ja joogid on Freebird Catamaran pardal?
3-tunnisel reisil on kaasas võileivavaheleib koos õlle, karastusjookide ja veega. 4,5-tunnisel reisil on lõunasöök, mis koosneb Huertano riisist, leivast ja kanaari banaanist koos õlle, karastusjookide, vee ja sangriaga. Eelneva taotluse korral on saadaval spetsiaalsed menüüd keliaakikutele ja veganitele.
Kas Freebird Katamaraanil On VIP Või Päevitustoolide Ala?
Jah, Freebird-l on katamaraani esiosas VIP-solariaal. Päikesevoodeid ei saa ette broneerida ja neid korraldatakse ainult reisi päeval põhimõttel "kes ees, see mees". Hind on tavaliselt 15€ ühe lamamistooli kohta 3-tunnisel reisil ja 25€ ühe lamamistooli kohta 4,5-tunnisel reisil. Iga päevituslaud mahutab kaks inimest.
Kas Freebird Catamaran pakub hotelli pealevõtmist?
Jah, hotellist pealevõtt on saadaval Tenerife lõunaosa peamistes turismipiirkondades, kuid see ei ole pileti hinnas sisaldatud. Pärast broneeringu tegemist saadame sulle selge ülevaate täpsest summast, mis tuleb kohapeal tasuda, kui valid pealevõtuteenuse. Sisesta broneeringu tegemisel lihtsalt oma hotelli nimi ja pealevõtu andmed kuvatakse sinu Club Canary piletil. Saare põhjaosas viibivad külalised peaksid broneerima hoopis Freebird Puerto de la Cruzi variandi.
Kas Freebird Katamaraan On Saadaval Puerto De La Cruzist?
Jah, Puerto de la Cruz'is peatuvatele külalistele on olemas spetsiaalne valik Freebird. See versioon sisaldab transporti Tenerife põhjaosast ja seda saab broneerida Freebird Puerto de la Cruzi lehekülje Club Canary kaudu.
Kust Väljub Freebird Katamaraan?
Freebird Catamaran väljub Puerto Colón sadamast Costa Adeje. Sõltuvalt päevast toimub pardaleminek tavaliselt väravast 10 või väravast 15, mis asuvad mõlemad sadama lõpus asuva tankla lähedal.
Kui vara ma peaksin kohale jõudma, kui ma ise sadamasse lähen?
Saabuda tuleks vähemalt 10 minutit enne väljumist. Kui soovid suurema tõenäosusega päevituslauda saada, on varajane saabumine kasulik, sest päevituslauad eraldatakse pärast katamaraani sisenemist.
Mida ma peaksin Freebird Catamaran reisile kaasa võtma?
Teil on vaja kaasa võtta ainult oma Club Canary pilet, ujumisriided, rätik ja päikesekaitsekreem. Kõik muu, sealhulgas toit, joogid ja turvavarustus, on pardal olemas.
Kas Freebird Catamaran sobib, kui ma olen merehaige?
Freebird on suur ja stabiilne katamaraan, mis vähendab liikumist võrreldes väiksemate paatidega. Kui olete siiski merehaiguse suhtes tundlik, on soovitatav enne pardaleminekut süüa ja võtta merehaiguse tablett umbes 30 minutit enne väljumist.
Kas Freebird Catamaran sobib lastega peredele?
Jah, Freebird sobib peredele ja lapsed osalevad nendel reisidel regulaarselt. Lastel peab olema kaasas täiskasvanu ning katamaraanil on tualetid, varjulised istekohad ja palju ruumi liikumiseks.
Kas Freebird Catamaran on ratastooliga ligipääsetav?
Freebird Catamaran ei ole täielikult ligipääsetav ratastooliga. Liikumispuudega külastajad peaksid enne broneerimist võtma ühendust Club Canary, et saaksime anda nõu, kas reis on sobiv.
Kus Peaksin Broneerima Freebird Katamaraani Tenerifel?
Freebird Catamaran saate broneerida otse Club Canary, mis on Freebird ametlik partner. Kogemus laevas on täpselt sama, kuid broneerimine Club Canary kaudu on tavaliselt kiirem ja paindlikum kui broneerimine hotellidest või juhuslikest reisibüroodest.
Broneerite viimasel minutil või tundub, et kuupäev on täis? Kontrollige alati meie käest enne tegelikku saadavust, me saame teid sageli ikkagi paigutada.

Freebird catamarans are beautiful, trusted and operated by one of the most experienced whale watching teams in Tenerife. In the off-season this is honestly one of our favourite trips, all that space, comfort and a relaxed vibe with the whales doing their thing off the bow.

A Tenerife classic, done right, especially when you know exactly what to expect.
