Freebird Classic

Sailing the shores of Tenerife's towering volcanic coastline is what dreams are made of – and with this trip, it's made even more magical from the sun-drenched deck of a vintage sailboat. In between swimming, sunbathing and soaking up the views, there's even a chance to spot local marine life, too. Sergio, one of our local guides, says ‘Born and raised in Tenerife, I spent my childhood days playing at the shipyard where my father worked as a carpenter. Now, I get to show visitors around the island on the very same boats he built. It's a really special experience'.Cast off from Porto Colon and you'll admire the island's dramatic terrain from a different perspective. Over three hours, make waves around Tenerife's southern coast while sunning yourself and feeling the cool ocean breeze run through your hair. This trip is all about relaxing – it's entirely up to you to what you want to do. Chill out on the comfy deck, hop into the crystal-clear waters to explore the marine life by snorkel or just kick back for some tanning time.Your captain will sail into areas known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales, and – with luck – you'll get to spot them in their natural habitat. Gaze up at the mighty Teide as you glide through the water, before dropping anchor at the famous ‘Cave of Love' – a deserted cove pocketed in unspoilt coastline. Cool off with a refreshing dip whilst the crew prepare a feast, which you'll wash down with complimentary drinks – the icing on the cake.
