Freebird Catamaran

My husband and I were so looking forward to this, having been on several boat trips before but I'm sorry to say that it was pretty disappointing. We'd booked the 3 hr trip and it was disappointing for several reasons....The sandwiches that were included were only ham and cheese. My husband and I are vegan but, despite the booking info saying they could cater for different dietary requirements and my husband emailing ahead to inform them of ours, we were not provided with an alternative to the ham and cheese. There were unlimited drinks (albeit in tiny cups) but there was only full sugar coke and sprite available. There didn't seem to be any other snacks or anything available to purchase either. As we got onto the boat the crew were selling the opportunity to sit on a lounger at the front of the catamaran. We weren't interested in this and thank goodness! Those who paid €15 for a lounger essentially had the privilege of paying to get wet and cold in the biting wind and ocean spray. What a cheek to charge folks to sit in the worst seats on the boat! Whilst the weather wasn't great for our trip, I can't imagine the experience would be much better if the sun was out - replace feeling cold with getting sunburn. Because the weather wasn't great, the sea got very choppy. To the point where I felt it was a bit dangerous and I'm surprised folks weren't sick. The trip was supposed to be 3 hours long but it left the marina late and returned early so was probably only about 2.5 hours in total. To be honest, I was glad when it was over but very annoyed that we'd not got what we paid for. On return to the marina, the crew then had the cheek to ask for a tip, despite non-existent customer service from the crew. In addition to this, the toilets were pretty grubby and smelly and other passengers were smoking everywhere which, as a non-smoker, I can't bear. So all in all, a disappointing and expensive trip. We've been on much more pleasurable boat trips which have cost less than this one. So I'd avoid this operator.

An amazing experience. From the very start with the pick up from our hotel to the drop off it was perfect and professional. Nice air condition coach both ways, drop off right next to the Catamaran and prompt boarding. We did the morning 3 hour dolphin and whales trip, it was perfect. Extremely friendly staff, boat was very clean and well equipped, free drinks, nice sunbeds to lounge on. We were very lucky to see both pilot whales and bottle nose dolphins. It was a perfect experience and great value for money. I would recommend to anyone to do it.

It was a very good day out & I think the 3 hour boat trip is about the right amount of time for this trip. We saw plenty of dolphins and whales & the crew were very helpful in pointing out where they were in the ocean. All the crew members were polite & made you feel welcomed when you were a board the catamaran. They spoke in several languages, so all the passengers knew what was happening. Plenty of liquid refreshments were at hand, which consisted of beer, fizzy pop & water. The only downside was you only got 1 cheese & ham roll to eat for the trip, so if you don't like ham & cheese you went peckish. All in all it was worth the money & I would recommend it & I would do it again at a later date.

Amazing trip, people where lovely vibes where amazing a few people sick but that's to be expected. The sights are gorgeous. We got lucky and saw whales. And the swim was needed after a long trip in the hot sun. I was feeling ill with a sore throat but the sea air cured it right up, amazing trip and crew!!!

What an absolutely brilliant trip from start to finish. Captain Lucas and his crew was very friendly and entertaining. Food was great and drinking supplied plenty. The views was spectacular along the coast, witnessing millions of years of volcanic rock forming the island of Tenerife, and I dip in the sea next to the hundreds of meters high volcanic cliff faces. And on the return journey their brilliant knowledge got us up and close to some Pilot whales, and being true professional switching of their engines so all good enjoy nature at its purest and respect to the animals. It's a must for anyone you will not be disappointed
