Local tip, sunbed edition: the Gold Zone front sunbeds are first come, first served on the boat. Using the transfer? Go straight to the boarding gate when you arrive. Coming yourself? Get to Puerto Colón before the bus does. Early boarding wins the beds.

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.

The Freebird Catamaran Tenerife, bookable through official partner Club Canary, runs two licensed whale and dolphin watching trips from Puerto Colón: a 3-hour classic at 10:00 with a sandwich and drinks included, and a 4.5-hour Los Gigantes cruise at 13:15 with a full lunch, sangria, swimming time and the Masca Bay coastline.

3-Hour Classic Or 4.5-Hour Los Gigantes Cruise?

Same boat, same licensed crew, two very different days. Pick your pace.

3-Hour Whale Watching, 10:00
  • 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.
4.5-Hour Los Gigantes, 13:15
  • 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 helpen snel.

Wat is de Freebird Catamaran in Tenerife?

Freebird is een van de bekendste catamarans op Tenerife en verzorgt al vele jaren walvis- en dolfijnobservatietochten. De meeste bezoekers kennen de boot al voordat ze boeken. Hij is populair omdat hij betrouwbaar, ruim en professioneel wordt gerund door een ervaren lokale bemanning.

Wat is het verschil tussen de 3 uur durende en 4,5 uur durende Freebird reizen?

De 3 uur durende tocht concentreert zich voornamelijk op walvissen en dolfijnen kijken langs de zuidkust van Tenerife, met tijd om te ontspannen aan boord en meestal een korte zwemstop als de zeeomstandigheden het toelaten. De 4,5 uur durende tocht is langer en omvat walvissen en dolfijnen kijken plus zeilen naar de Los Gigantes kliffen en een zwemstop in Masca Bay, waardoor het meer een halve dag ervaring is.

Welk eten en drinken is inbegrepen op de Freebird Catamaran?

Op de 3 uur durende tocht is een broodjes snack inbegrepen, samen met bier, frisdrank en water. Tijdens de 4,5 uur durende tocht is de lunch inbegrepen. Deze bestaat uit Huertano rijst, brood en Canarische banaan, samen met bier, frisdrank, water en sangria. Speciale menu's voor coeliakiepatiënten en veganisten zijn beschikbaar op aanvraag.

Is Er Een VIP- Of Ligbedzone Op De Freebird Catamaran?

Ja, Freebird heeft een VIP-zonnebankzone aan de voorkant van de catamaran. Zonnebedden kunnen niet van tevoren worden gereserveerd en worden alleen geregeld op de dag van de tocht op basis van wie het eerst komt, het eerst maalt. De prijs is meestal 15€ per ligbed op de 3-uur durende tocht en 25€ per ligbed op de 4,5-uur durende tocht. Op elke zonnebank passen twee personen.

Biedt de Freebird Catamaran de mogelijkheid om een hotel op te halen?

Ja, hotelafhaling is beschikbaar in de belangrijkste toeristische gebieden van Zuid-Tenerife, maar is niet inbegrepen in de ticketprijs. Na uw boeking geven wij u een duidelijk overzicht van het exacte bedrag dat ter plaatse betaald moet worden, indien u gebruik wenst te maken van de ophaalservice. Voer simpelweg uw hotelnaam in tijdens het boeken, en uw afhaalgegevens worden weergegeven op uw Club Canary ticket. Gasten die in het noorden van het eiland verblijven, dienen in plaats daarvan de Freebird Puerto de la Cruz optie te boeken.

Is De Freebird Catamaran Beschikbaar Van Puerto De La Cruz?

Ja, er is een speciale Freebird optie voor gasten die verblijven in Puerto de la Cruz. Deze versie is inclusief vervoer vanaf het noorden van Tenerife en kan geboekt worden via de Freebird Puerto de la Cruz pagina op Club Canary.

Waar Vertrekt De Freebird Catamaran?

De Freebird Catamaran vertrekt vanuit jachthaven Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. Afhankelijk van de dag vindt de inscheping meestal plaats bij Gate 10 of Gate 15, beide gelegen in de buurt van het tankstation aan het einde van de haven.

Hoe vroeg moet ik aankomen als ik zelf naar de haven ga?

Je moet ten minste 10 minuten voor vertrek aanwezig zijn. Als je meer kans wilt maken op een ligbed, helpt vroeg komen, want de ligbedden worden toegewezen zodra mensen aan boord van de catamaran gaan.

Wat moet ik meenemen op de Freebird Catamaran reis?

Je hoeft alleen je Club Canary ticket, zwemkleding, een handdoek en zonnebrandcrème mee te nemen. Al het andere, inclusief eten, drinken en veiligheidsuitrusting, is aan boord aanwezig.

Is de Freebird Catamaran geschikt als ik zeeziek word?

Freebird is een grote en stabiele catamaran, die minder bewegingen maakt dan kleinere boten. Toch, als je gevoelig bent voor zeeziekte, is het aan te raden om te eten voordat je aan boord gaat en ongeveer 30 minuten voor vertrek een zeeziektepilletje in te nemen.

Is de Freebird Catamaran geschikt voor gezinnen met kinderen?

Ja, Freebird is geschikt voor gezinnen en er gaan regelmatig kinderen mee op deze tochten. Kinderen moeten worden begeleid door een volwassene en de catamaran heeft toiletten, schaduwrijke zitplaatsen en veel bewegingsruimte.

Is de Freebird Catamaran rolstoeltoegankelijk?

De Freebird Catamaran is niet volledig rolstoeltoegankelijk. Gasten met beperkte mobiliteit moeten contact opnemen met Club Canary voordat ze boeken, zodat we kunnen adviseren of de reis geschikt is.

Waar Moet Ik De Freebird Catamaran In Tenerife Boeken?

Je kunt de Freebird Catamaran rechtstreeks boeken bij Club Canary, een officiële partner van Freebird. De ervaring op de boot is precies hetzelfde, maar boeken via Club Canary is meestal sneller en flexibeler dan boeken bij hotels of willekeurige tourbureaus.

Boekt u last minute of ziet de datum er vol uit? Controleer altijd eerst de actuele beschikbaarheid bij ons, we kunnen u vaak nog wel inpassen.

De Eerlijke Mening van Club Canary

Eerlijk gesproken van uw lokale team op de Canarische Eilanden

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.
