Catamaran Freebird

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.

C'était une très bonne journée et je pense que les 3 heures de bateau sont à peu près suffisantes pour cette excursion. Nous avons vu beaucoup de dauphins et de baleines et l'équipage nous a beaucoup aidés en nous indiquant où ils se trouvaient dans l'océan. Tous les membres de l'équipage étaient polis et nous ont fait sentir les bienvenus à bord du catamaran. Ils parlaient en plusieurs langues, de sorte que tous les passagers savaient ce qui se passait. De nombreux rafraîchissements étaient disponibles, notamment de la bière, des boissons gazeuses et de l'eau. Le seul inconvénient est qu'il n'y a qu'un seul petit pain au fromage et au jambon à manger pour le voyage, donc si vous n'aimez pas le jambon et le fromage, vous aurez un petit creux. Dans l'ensemble, le voyage en valait la peine, je le recommande et je le referai à une date ultérieure.

Voyage extraordinaire, les gens étaient adorables, les vibrations étaient incroyables, quelques personnes malades mais c'est à prévoir. Les paysages sont magnifiques. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des baleines. Et la baignade était nécessaire après un long voyage sous un soleil de plomb. Je me sentais malade avec un mal de gorge mais l'air de la mer l'a guéri immédiatement.

Un voyage absolument génial du début à la fin. Le capitaine Lucas et son équipage étaient très sympathiques et divertissants. La nourriture était excellente et les boissons abondantes. Les vues étaient spectaculaires le long de la côte, témoins de millions d'années de roches volcaniques formant l'île de Tenerife, et je me suis baigné dans la mer à côté des falaises volcaniques de plusieurs centaines de mètres de haut. Et sur le chemin du retour, leurs brillantes connaissances nous ont permis d'approcher des baleines pilotes, et en tant que vrais professionnels, ils ont éteint leurs moteurs pour que tout le monde puisse profiter de la nature à l'état pur et respecter les animaux. C'est un must pour tout le monde, vous ne serez pas déçus.
