A popular whale and dolphin catamaran cruise - choose a 3-hour trip or the 4.5-hour Masca & Los Gigantes tour.
From
Join one of Tenerife's most popular whale and dolphin watching tours aboard the spacious Freebird Catamaran. Departing from Puerto Colón, this relaxing cruise takes you into the protected waters between Tenerife and La Gomera, home to a resident population of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, giving you an excellent chance of seeing these incredible animals in their natural environment.
Choose the 3-hour Whale & Dolphin Watching Tour if you’re looking for the perfect half-day excursion. As you cruise along the Costa Adeje coastline, your specialist guide will help you spot whales and dolphins while sharing fascinating information about the marine life found in the Canary Islands. During the trip, you’ll enjoy drinks and a light snack while relaxing on board.
For a longer adventure, the 4.5-hour Masca & Los Gigantes Tour sails further along Tenerife’s spectacular west coast. After searching for whales and dolphins, you’ll continue to the impressive Los Gigantes Cliffs, where towering volcanic walls rise hundreds of metres above the Atlantic Ocean. The boat then anchors in the beautiful Masca Bay, where you’ll have time to swim, snorkel or simply relax while enjoying lunch and drinks on board.
Whether you choose the shorter cruise or the extended Masca Bay excursion, the Freebird Catamaran offers a fantastic day at sea, combining incredible marine wildlife, breathtaking coastal scenery and one of the best whale watching experiences in Tenerife.

The 3-hour Freebird Catamaran Tour is perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing whale and dolphin watching experience with drinks and a light snack included. If you’d like to spend more time at sea, the 4.5-hour Masca Tour is the best option, as it includes a cruise to Los Gigantes Cliffs, a swim stop in Masca Bay, lunch on board and even more opportunities to spot whales and dolphins. Both excursions depart from Puerto Colón and include hotel pickup from South Tenerife.
Tenerife is one of the best places in Europe for whale and dolphin watching, thanks to the resident population of pilot whales that live in the waters between Tenerife and La Gomera throughout the year. Although sightings can never be guaranteed because the animals live freely in their natural habitat, the Freebird Catamaran has an excellent success rate, and it’s also common to spot bottlenose dolphins and other marine life during the excursion.

If you choose the 4.5-hour Masca Tour, you’ll stop in the beautiful Masca Bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim in the clear Atlantic waters beneath the spectacular Los Gigantes Cliffs.
