  • You'll also enjoy amazing views of the dramatic coast of Tenerife
  • The convenience of drinks and lunch on board means a hassle free trip
What to expect

The calm coastal waters around Tenerife are home to an incredible array of marine life. On this exclusive adults-only cruise, you'll have a chance to spot pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins as they leap and frolic in their natural North Atlantic habitat.

Take in Tenerife's dramatic coastal terrain, all while sunning yourself and feeling the cool breeze as you lounge on deck – for your comfort, the boat is a quarter under capacity. Your captain will sail into waters known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales. With luck, you'll get to spot these magnificent creatures. You'll even have time to take a swim.

And to top it all off, you'll be pampered by the crew. There'll be complimentary drinks at the shaded bar, and you'll lunch on board. It's a great morning or afternoon searching for some of Mother Nature's most interesting creatures while chilling out on board.

    We were not warned that we were the first pick up in los gigantes and had to spend over an hour and a half on the coach each way! This is sold as a trip available from our resort but the 3 hours+ on the coach spoiled the overall experience. The catamaran itself was great although the 15 euros to get a lounger was a bit of a rip off.

    This was a great trip from start to finish. The staff on board were very attentive,it wasn't overcrowded, very comfortable catamaran. It was AI so good value for money,a sandwich as we first boarded followed by a lunch of Spanish tortilla,bread,salad and a banana. We also were lucky enough to see a family of pilot whales which was amazing, woukd highly recommend a good way to spend half a day .

    The Crew were amazing and the actual boat trip was wonderful. It would have been good if TUI told us how many other collections the bus had to complete before getting to the boat and the return bus was just awful! The bus to return to the hotel was much older than the one we were collected in and the seats were practically on top of each other. The driver drove like he was in a go kart and the extreme braking was horrendous leaving bruises on my knees from the seat ahead of me.

    Enjoyed every aspect of this trip, crew on the Freebird super informative, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great trip. We had pilot whales swim alongside the catamaran and the experience felt very respectful of them, engine off and everyone went silent as we all watched these wonderful creatures. Would thoroughly recommend this trip and feel there’s no improvement needed, perfect as it is ????

Nat Geo Day Tour: Wine in the Canary Islands - a sensory experience

Tra degustazioni sui pendii soleggiati in cui vengono prodotti, ti immergerai nella cultura e nella coltivazione dei vini canari in un esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. Scopri il patrimonio vinicolo, i panorami, gli odori, i sapori, le consistenze e i suoni dell'isola in una cantina a conduzione familiare e degusta quattro annate abbinate a piatti tipici.Prima, a La Casa del Vino, una tenuta del XVII secolo divenuta museo, troverai un bicchiere dello spumante locale e una "rosquette", un dolce delle Canarie. La guida ti racconterà la storia dei viticoltori spagnoli del XVI secolo che piantarono vitigni europei nel fertile terreno vulcanico, catapultando Tenerife sul panorama vinicolo mondiale.Poi ci sarà Bodegas El Lomo. Vedrai il giardino, dove uve rare, quasi estinte in Europa, continuano a prosperare, e sorseggerai del vino, accompagnato da una tapa esclusiva dello chef visionario Jorge Bosch. L'enologo ti illustrerà i profumi e le fasi chiave per svelare l'origine di un vino in un laboratorio di aromi con un'altra tapa esclusiva. Uscirai in terrazza per uno spuntino a tema vendemmia con chicchi di gofio tostati e un formaggio di capra locale, servito con un vino fruttato a macerazione carbonica. Il gran finale risveglia l'udito: in una stanza buia, assaggerai l'ultima annata con tapa e scoprirai come la musica influenza la percezione del vino.È molto più di un semplice tour di degustazione: è un'esperienza personale su come il vino può stimolare i sensi.
