Freebird catamaran cruise

Freebird catamaran cruise with dolphin and whale watching (Costa Adeje, 3h)

This is a longer catamaran cruise from Puerto Colón for people who want not only to sail out onto the ocean, but also to have more time to relax, enjoy the coastline, and unwind on board.

The cruise takes place along the coast of Costa Adeje, in an area where dolphins and pilot whales are most often spotted. During the trip, the crew explains the species living in these waters — their habits, movement, feeding methods, and natural behaviour. The animals most commonly seen are pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, and Atlantic spotted dolphins.

After the wildlife watching part of the cruise, the catamaran heads towards Diego Hernández beach, near La Caleta. This is the more relaxing part of the trip — there is time to rest, enjoy the views, soak up the sun and, if conditions allow, swim in the ocean.

At the end of the cruise, the catamaran returns to Puerto Colón. One of the advantages of this option is also the pickup service from selected areas in the south of Tenerife, so there is no need to organize your own transport to the port.
