About This Excursion

Sail the Southwest Coast, Watch Whales and Dolphins, and Swim in the Open Atlantic.

Three hours or four and a half. The Freebird One catamaran is the largest in Europe at 28 metres. The southwest coast of Tenerife, the open Atlantic, and some of the best whale and dolphin watching waters in the world. Sit back and let the crew take care of everything.

The 3-hour tour departs daily at 10:00 from Puerto Colón. The catamaran heads out along the Costa Adeje coastline in search of pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins. A specialist cetacean guide is on board throughout, sharing fascinating insights into the behaviour, diet and habits of the marine life you encounter. Sandwiches, soft drinks, water and beer are all included.

The 4.5-hour tour departs at 13:15 and goes further. Much further. The catamaran sails all the way to the dramatic cliffs of Los Gigantes and the stunning Masca Bay, one of the most breathtaking stretches of coastline in the Canary Islands. More time on the water, more marine life, a swim stop, and a full hot meal of chicken and Canarian potatoes included on board.

Both tours include a swim stop, a specialist guide, and drinks throughout. Both give you an excellent chance of encountering wild whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. The Freebird One has a VIP sun deck, a shaded indoor lounge area with bar, and a second viewing deck for spotting cetaceans from above. Sunbeds are available on board on a first-come, first-served basis.

Children aged 5 to 11 travel at a reduced price. Children under 4 sail free. Hotel pickup is included from Los Cristianos, Las Américas, Costa Adeje, Callao Salvaje, Playa Paraíso, El Médano and Golf del Sur, with pickup times confirmed after booking depending on your location.

Common Questions About This Tour

Both tours depart from Puerto Colón and include whale and dolphin watching with a specialist cetacean guide, a swim stop, and drinks throughout. The 3-hour tour departs at 10:00 and covers the Costa Adeje coastline, with a sandwich and snacks included. It is the ideal option if you want a complete experience without taking up the whole day. The 4.5-hour tour departs at 13:15 and sails all the way to the dramatic Los Gigantes cliffs and Masca Bay, one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the Canary Islands. It includes a full hot meal of chicken and Canarian potatoes on board. If you have the time, the 4.5-hour tour is an exceptional way to spend an afternoon on the water.

Tenerife's southwest coast is home to resident populations of pilot whales year-round, and bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins are regularly encountered in the same waters. The Freebird One is a member of the Whale Watching Quality Charter of Tourism of Tenerife, which means the crew follows strict guidelines for responsible, respectful wildlife observation. A specialist cetacean guide is on board throughout both tours, sharing knowledge about the species you encounter and their behaviour in the wild. While sightings can never be guaranteed with wild animals, the Freebird catamaran has an outstanding sighting record on both tour options.

Absolutely. The Freebird One is one of the most family-friendly excursions available in Tenerife. The catamaran is large and stable at 28 metres, with a spacious indoor lounge area for younger children who need shade or a rest, and open decks for those who want to watch the ocean. Children aged 5 to 11 travel at a reduced price and children under 4 sail entirely free. The crew are experienced with families and the specialist guide has a natural ability to bring the marine life to life for younger guests. Both tour durations work well for families, though the 3-hour option tends to suit younger children better.

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and comfortable clothing. Food and drinks are included on both tours so there is no need to bring anything for the journey. If you are prone to seasickness, it is worth taking preventative medication before departure as the Atlantic can be choppy on some days. Wheelchairs cannot be accommodated on board due to the nature of the vessel, so some mobility is required for boarding. Sunbeds are available on a first-come first-served basis on the day and cannot be reserved in advance. Ice cream is available to purchase on board but is not included in the tour price.

Tenerife has some of the most reliable weather in Europe and the vast majority of tours run as planned. If sea conditions make it unsafe to depart, you will be offered a rescheduled date or a full refund. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. Most bookings only require a small deposit upfront with the balance paid on the day, so you can secure your spot with complete peace of mind and adjust if your plans change.

We always do our best to secure the exact excursion you've booked. In the unlikely event that the tour operator can't fulfil your booking request, we'll contact you as soon as possible with the best available alternatives, whether that's a different date, departure time or a similar excursion.

If none of the alternatives are suitable, we'll process a full refund immediately.

At Proper Excursion, we're committed to making booking excursions in Tenerife simple and stress-free. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and work with you to find the best possible solution.
