This time, we will talk about boat trips from Puerto de La Cruz and everything you can enjoy if you want to experience an adventure at sea. At bananapalmbay.com, we specialize in providing our clients with the best options for a trip on the ocean.
Besides enjoying the sun on the beautiful natural beaches, there are many boat trips that can be taken directly in or from Puerto de la Cruz. During the boat trip, you can relax, enjoy the sun, swim, snorkel, and simply have a great time with your family, partner, or friends. Boat trips from Puerto de la Cruz give you the chance to see the south coast of Tenerife and appreciate its natural beauty.
Excursions to see dolphins and whales in Tenerife
If you are wondering what to do in Puerto de la Cruz with children, we recommend taking them to see dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. From experience, we know that children enjoy the sighting of marine animals the most, and they are thrilled when they see them approaching. Tenerife is a perfect place for whale and dolphin watching all year round.
Whale and dolphin watching boat trips are among the most popular activities for our clients. Here, we explain what you will see and do during these excursions. Boat trips allow you to observe these charming animals in their natural environment, and you are even guaranteed to encounter them.
Bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales are the species you are most likely to see. The best spots to find them are in the waters between Tenerife and La Gomera. Once you get on board, you’ll sail towards La Gomera and stop to watch whales or dolphins playing nearby. It’s an absolutely breathtaking experience for both children and adults.
We also offer excursions to La Gomera from Puerto de la Cruz and nearby areas in Tenerife. The activity includes pickup from various locations in the south and north of Tenerife, followed by an embarkation in Puerto de Los Cristianos to La Gomera. For more information, please contact us on WhatsApp to help you make your reservations.
Boat trips from Puerto de la Cruz to Los Gigantes Cliffs
With our 4.5-hour trip, you can visit the impressive Cliffs of Los Gigantes. The boat trip is one of the most popular activities in Tenerife and an absolute must-see. What makes Los Acantilados incredible is their enormous size, exceeding 600 meters in height in some areas. They rise dramatically from the sea, forming a natural wall that protects the interior of Tenerife. Being close to these rock formations is very exciting, evoking feelings of wonder and amazement. If you want to visit the Cliffs of Los Gigantes, contact us for recommendations on the best boat trips that will take you there.
Boat trips in Masca Bay
Masca Bay is another place of interest we’d like to share with you. This beautiful beach, located within the cliffs, is hidden due to its difficult access. It can only be reached by water, and boat trips from Costa Adeje provide that opportunity. The beach remains wild and untamed, adding to its charm.
It is located at the end of the Masca ravine in Los Acantilados de Los Gigantes. Some adventurers reach it by hiking through the ravine, but it’s a demanding route, suitable only for experienced hikers. Reaching this beach is a reward for your efforts and an unforgettable experience during your holiday. The beach is characterized by its dark sand, a result of volcanic activity.
Catamaran hire to Los Acantilados
Our catamarans are fantastic boats for a great day at sea with friends and family. They are spacious and designed for enjoyable moments in the company of loved ones. The catamaran departs from Puerto Colón towards Los Acantilados. During the ride, you’ll likely spot marine animals approaching the boat. As mentioned, pilot whales are often seen in this area. With some luck, one may come up to greet you. The catamaran trip also allows you to swim and cool off in the water. Invite your friends and family to enjoy a pleasant ride on the Atlantic Ocean.
We also have the larger Royal Dolphin catamaran, which accommodates more guests. On this boat, you’ll be able to see dolphins and whales swimming underneath, thanks to the underwater windows. You can also enjoy a refreshing swim in the Atlantic waters and indulge in the buffet lunch included in the price. If you want to go snorkeling near Puerto de la Cruz, the catamaran trip is an excellent option. Take the opportunity to swim and snorkel during the boat’s stop at Masca Bay.
Excursion to see cetaceans on Shogun
We offer an authentic oriental sailing boat for an extraordinary experience at sea. The Shogun excursion is designed for dolphin, pilot whale, and whale watching. You can choose between different durations to enjoy the tour for longer. This excursion includes visits to the Cliffs of Los Gigantes, Masca Bay, and a stop for swimming. The tour also includes lunch. If you wish to book this excursion, you’ll find the details of this activity and many others at the end of this text.
Another option, available if you rent a car during your holiday in Tenerife (while staying in Puerto de la Cruz), is to rent one of our private boats in Costa Adeje. If you have any questions, you can contact us right now, and we will be happy to assist. Remember, we can help you choose the best activity and offer expert recommendations based on our extensive experience.
Puerto de la Cruz
Puerto de la Cruz is the main tourist hub in the north of Tenerife. Many holidaymakers from around the world choose this location for its incredible scenery, pleasant climate, and authentic Canarian atmosphere.
One of the most charming beaches in Puerto de la Cruz is Playa Bollullo. Due to its secluded location, it remains wild and natural. Here, you can find peace and relaxation while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. This beach is popular with visitors looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The gentle surf makes it perfect for a worry-free family outing, and there are areas with waves suitable for surfing.
Another beach you shouldn’t miss when in Puerto de la Cruz is Playa Jardín. As the name suggests, it is a beautiful beach surrounded by flowers and ornamental plants. Unlike Playa Bollullo, this beach is closer to the city and offers a vibrant urban atmosphere for tourists. It is also near the promenade, which connects it to commercial establishments and restaurants. Playa Jardín has all the necessary services for visitors, moderate winds, and calm waves.
