You can choose to go on your own or travel by air-conditioned coach from your southern Tenerife hotel to a marina on the western coast of the island. Meet your friendly crew, and then board the deluxe Freebird One catamaran, a spacious, open-top boat with lower-deck lounge that offers a tranquil relaxation space away from the midday heat. As you leave the marina behind, stretch out on a sun lounger and bask in the glorious sunshine. Tenerife’s western coastline is postcard perfect, and its untamed shores are often considered as the island’s most scenic area. Gaze at the sparkling waves dancing around the boat, and treat yourself with a drink from the onboard bar. Chilled Champagne, wine, beer and soda are available, and the amount included is unlimited throughout your cruise. In no time at all, the towering Cliffs of Los Gigantes (Acantilados de Los Gigantes) slip into view, plunging from a great height down to the white-topped breakers of the Atlantic. Have your camera ready to capture photos of some of Europe’s tallest cliffs — aptly translated as ‘cliffs of the giants’ — surrounded by starkly beautiful black-sand beaches: an iconic Canarian sight. Dolphins and seabirds are often spotted around the area, so keep looking out for the marine life as you cruise. Continue to Masca Bay to cool off with a refreshing dip in the ocean, and discover the landscapes lying beneath the sea. If the water doesn’t tempt you, simply stay aboard the Freebird One to work on your tan or cool down in the shade of the air-conditioned lounge. A buffet featuring a selection of cold food, such as chicken paella or salad, is also available for you to enjoy while on board. From Masca Bay, cruise back to the marina where your air-conditioned coach awaits, ready to take you back to your hotel in southern Tenerife. The 3hr sailing does not go as far as Masca and Lunch consists of sandwiches. Drinks are included. This is still an amazing day out.
