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, Me autamme nopeasti.
Mikä on Freebird Catamaran Teneriffalla?
Freebird on yksi Teneriffan tunnetuimmista katamaraaneista, ja se on tehnyt valaan- ja delfiininbongausmatkoja jo vuosien ajan. Useimmat vierailijat tuntevat veneen jo ennen varausta. Se on suosittu, koska se on luotettava, tilava, ammattimaisesti hoidettu ja kokeneen paikallisen miehistön operoima.
Mitä eroa on 3 tunnin ja 4,5 tunnin Freebird-matkoilla?
Kolmen tunnin matka keskittyy pääasiassa valaiden ja delfiinien tarkkailuun Teneriffan etelärannikolla, ja aluksella on aikaa rentoutua ja yleensä lyhyt uimapysähdys, jos meriolosuhteet sallivat. Neljän ja puolen tunnin matka on pidempi, ja siihen sisältyy valaiden ja delfiinien tarkkailua sekä purjehdus kohti Los Gigantes-kallioita ja uimapysähdys Masca-lahdella, joten se on enemmänkin puolipäiväinen kokemus.
Mitä ruokia ja juomia sisältyy Freebird Catamaran-matkustukseen?
Kolmen tunnin matkan aikana tarjoillaan voileipävälipala sekä olutta, virvoitusjuomia ja vettä. 4,5 tunnin matkalla lounas sisältyy hintaan, ja se koostuu Huertano-riisistä, leivästä ja kanarialaisesta banaanista sekä oluesta, virvoitusjuomista, vedestä ja sangriasta. Keliaakikoille ja vegaaneille on saatavilla erityismenuja, jos niitä pyydetään etukäteen.
Onko Freebird Katamaraanilla VIP- Tai Aurinkotuolialue?
Kyllä, Freebird:ssä on VIP-aurinkotuolialue katamaraanin etuosassa. Aurinkotuoleja ei voi varata etukäteen, vaan ne järjestetään vasta matkapäivänä saapumisjärjestyksessä. Hinta on yleensä 15€ aurinkotuolia kohti 3 tunnin matkalla ja 25€ aurinkotuolia kohti 4,5 tunnin matkalla. Kuhunkin aurinkotuoliin mahtuu kaksi henkilöä.
Tarjoaako Freebird Catamaran noutoa hotellista?
Kyllä, hotellin nouto on saatavilla Etelä-Teneriffan tärkeimmillä turistikierrosalueilla, mutta se ei sisälly lipun hintaan. Varauksesi jälkeen annamme sinulle selkeän yleiskatsauksen tarkasta summasta, joka tulee maksaa saapuessasi, jos valitset noutopalvelun. Syötä vain hotellisi nimi varauksen yhteydessä, ja noutotiedot näytetään Club Canary lipussasi. Saarella pohjoisosassa majoittuvien tulisi sen sijaan varata Freebird Puerto de la Cruz -vaihtoehto.
Onko Freebird Katamaraani Saatavilla Puerto De La Cruzista?
Kyllä, Puerto de la Cruzissa majoittuville asiakkaille on tarjolla erityinen Freebird-vaihtoehto. Tämä versio sisältää kuljetuksen Teneriffan pohjoisosasta, ja sen voi varata Freebird Puerto de la Cruz -sivun Club Canary kautta.
Mistä Freebird Katamaraani Lähtee?
Freebird Catamaran lähtee Puerto Colón-satamasta Costa Adeje:ssä. Kyytiin noustaan päivästä riippuen yleensä portilta 10 tai 15, jotka molemmat sijaitsevat sataman päässä sijaitsevan polttoaineaseman lähellä.
Kuinka aikaisin minun pitäisi saapua, jos menen itse satamaan?
Sinun tulisi saapua paikalle vähintään 10 minuuttia ennen lähtöä. Jos haluat paremmat mahdollisuudet saada aurinkotuolin, kannattaa saapua ajoissa, sillä aurinkotuolit jaetaan, kun ihmiset nousevat katamaraanille.
Mitä minun pitäisi ottaa mukaan matkalle Freebird Catamaran?
Sinun tarvitsee ottaa mukaan vain Club Canary-lippusi, uimahousut, pyyhe ja aurinkovoide. Kaikki muu, mukaan lukien ruoka, juomat ja turvavarusteet, tarjotaan aluksella.
Onko Freebird Catamaran sopiva, jos tulen merisairaaksi?
Freebird on suuri ja vakaa katamaraani, joka vähentää liikettä pienempiin veneisiin verrattuna. Jos kuitenkin olet herkkä merisairaudelle, on suositeltavaa syödä ennen laivaan nousua ja ottaa merisairaustabletti noin 30 minuuttia ennen lähtöä.
Sopiiko Freebird Catamaran lapsiperheille?
Kyllä, Freebird sopii perheille, ja lapset osallistuvat säännöllisesti näille matkoille. Lasten mukana on oltava aikuinen, ja katamaraanilla on käymälät, varjoisia istuimia ja runsaasti tilaa liikkua.
Pääseekö Freebird Catamaran pyörätuolilla?
Freebird Catamaran ei ole täysin esteetön pyörätuolilla. Liikuntarajoitteisten asiakkaiden on otettava yhteyttä Club Canary:hen ennen varauksen tekemistä, jotta voimme neuvoa, onko matka sopiva.
Mistä Minun Pitäisi Varata Freebird Katamaraani Teneriffalla?
Voit varata Freebird Catamaran:n suoraan Club Canary:ltä, joka on Freebird:n virallinen kumppani. Kokemus laivalla on täsmälleen sama, mutta varaaminen Club Canary:n kautta on yleensä nopeampaa ja joustavampaa kuin varaaminen hotelleista tai satunnaisista matkatoimistoista.
Varaatko viime tingassa tai näyttääkö päivä täynnä? Tarkista aina ensin todellinen saatavuus meiltä, voimme usein silti järjestää sinulle ajan.

Club Canaryn Rehellinen Mielipide
Rehellistä puhetta paikalliselta tiimiltä Kanariansaarilta
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.
In high season the boats can feel busy: some people love that atmosphere, others prefer smaller groups, and both are valid. Booking with Club Canary, the official partner, gets you fast confirmation, local support, group discounts and an easy way to combine the Freebird with your other Tenerife plans.
A Tenerife classic, done right, especially when you know exactly what to expect.
