Freebird Sailing (Tenerife)

We regularly visit Tenerife during Summer and we have always fancied trying the Freebird sailing, so we decided to book into a 3 hour trip to hopefully see some dolphins and whales. We booked our trip through the rep at our hotel we were staying at but i believe it is very easy to just book a trip if you walk along the beach front, to be honest i think you would be far cheaper booking at the beach. Never the less we were happy to pay the extra for a bus to pick us up at the hotel and take us to the harbour ready for our trip with dolphins. Because it was so so hot it is really essential to bring your sun tan lotion as you can burn very easily on a ...  Read the complete review

This was my first experience on the 'Whale and Dolphin Safari' that Tenerife is now synonymous with. I would advise you to arrive early as the boat has 2 wonderful mesh decks at the front of the boat and numbers are strictly limited - however the view is awesome and being so close to the water it feels like you could reach out and touch a dolphin!

I have always wanted to sea whales and dolphine in their own enviroment not where they react to a whisle or a gesture. Freebird Sailing (Tenerife) seemed like i great way to do that.

Freebird One – A Luxury Adventure *** WHAT IS IT? ***** This summer (2007), my family and I holidayed on the island of Tenerife. We wanted to experience a bit more than the hotel facilities, so after attending the Rep’s welcome meeting, I decided to book the Freebird One Experience. Freebird Sailing was founded in 1994, specialising in cruises aboard a luxury 30-seater catamaran. They proud themselves with the title of being “the largest catamaran service in the Canary Islands” and whilst in Tenerife I witnessed no other catamaran passing us on the Solent. There is also a Freebird 2 and a 3. The Freebird Two is about 25 metres ...  Read the complete review
