Things to do during boat excursions in Playa de las Américas

Boat Trips in Playa de las Americas

Probably the first thing you will do once you arrive in Playa de las Americas will be to go to the beach to relax, enjoy the warm sun and the refreshing ocean. But apart from staying on the beach all day, there are plenty of activities and excursions to do in Playa de las Americas.

One highly recommended activity is a boat trip to see whales and dolphins. It’s also perfect for relaxing, snorkelling or just having a great time with your friends, partner or family.

The activities you do depend on how much time you would like to spend on board. At Bananapalmbay.com we offer a lot of things to do in and from Playa de las Americas. Within our activities we have different boat trips. Depending on your tastes, needs and budget, we have the perfect offer for you.

Whale and Dolphin Watching

We would like to tell you a little bit about the whales and dolphins that live in the waters of Tenerife. Bottlenose dolphins are the permanent residents of the Canarian waters. Probably the name “bottlenose dolphin” may not say much, but what about Flipper, do you remember the series during your childhood? This is the same type of dolphin that you will have the opportunity to see on our boat trips.

But there are not only dolphins living in Canarian waters. Other permanent residents are our friends the pilot whales.

On our website we have different options for a whale or dolphin watching boat trip near Playa de las Americas.

Boat rental with skipper in Playa de las Americas

The excursions we offer in this guide include the boat crew. You don’t have to worry about the details of the boat and the route to follow. The skipper in charge is fully experienced in boat driving and knows the coast of Tenerife in detail.

Cliffs of Los Gigantes

Bahia de Masca - Los Gigantes Masca Bay (4)

Our itineraries include a boat trip around the Cliffs of Los Gigantes. These are impressive volcanic rock walls that protect the west side of Tenerife. This part of the island attracts many visitors for the beauty of its coves and the rich biodiversity in its waters.

With the longest option, the 4.5 hour excursion with the Freebird UNO you will visit Los Gigantes. Of course, you will also have time to swim near Masca Bay. After swimming, you will enjoy some snacks on board and then return to Puerto Colon.

Celebration of special events on board

Of course there are always some special occasions: a birthday, a party or any of these moments that you would like to share only with your friends or family. The perfect way to make these moments unforgettable will be a Private Boat Charter.

In case you want to make the trip a little faster or you are on a budget, we also have the 2 hour tour with the catamaran Eden.

Fishing Excursion

Boat Trips in Playa de las Americas

We have private fishing boats for you to enjoy sport and recreational fishing. You will enjoy an amazing fishing experience during your holiday on the island. We have boats equipped with state of the art fishing equipment for an abundant catch.

Our captain in charge is fully experienced at sea and will take you to the spots where you will catch the best fish. In addition to the fish you catch, you will take away new knowledge and wonderful memories of your fishing adventure in Tenerife South.

The Canary Islands are surrounded by deep water very close to the coast, which gives them an advantage over other locations for fishing. Here you will find a wide variety of fish. For boat fishing there are plenty of brecas, mojarra, bocinegros, pejeperro, cabrilla and sama. You can also catch huge tuna passing through the coasts of Tenerife as well as other big fish such as wahoo and bonito.

I hired the atlanca boat as a surprise for my husbands 40th birthday and it was honestly the best day and lots of fun. Easy to book, when we arrived Patrick did the paperwork and explained everything then Fran gave us all the safety information on how to ride the boat. Everything was provided and additional special touches were much appreciated. They were both great, really friendly and put us at ease. We had 3 hours booked and we got the full time, everything excellent. Highly recommended. Thank you

Alquilamos una excursión para ver cetáceos y dar un paseo de 3h. En general la experiencia estuvo bien. Toda la gestión de reserva fue fácil y el trato con Bananapalmbay fue un gusto.
Al llegar al barco tuvimos alguna confusión con lo acordado, pero tras comunicarse la empresa del barco con Bananapalmbay se solucionó y pudimos disfrutar del viaje. Además vimos ballenas piloto.

My partner and I rented a boat for 4 hours from Jan Daniel and we had the best day! By far our favourite experience of our whole holiday. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to rent a boat to do your own exploring along the southern coast of Tenerife. 5* experience!

Ich habe mit dieser Gesellschaft 2 tolle Touren gemacht. Die Teide Nationalpark Tour mit Masca, war klasse, sowohl Guide als auch Busfahrer waren toll. Viel information und gute Betreuung. Ein unvergesslicher Tag. 🥰 Die 2. Tour war Oberklasse, ich bin mit Shogun zur Wahlbeobachtung rausgefahren und wir haben eine ganze Familie Pilotwale gesehen, diese wunderbaren Wesen sind recht neugierig und kamen auch auf das Boot zu. Ich habe Shogun vorgezogen, weil mir die übervollen Katamarane nicht so gefallen. Gute Wahl. Die ganze Fahrt ist wunderbar, man fährt bis Los Gigantes und in der Bucht gibt es eine köstliche Mahlzeit. Es ist sehr beeindruckend, dort zu ankern. Habe die Fahrt sehr genossen.......ich liebe das Meer sehr.🥰

What a fantastic day on our own private yacht. We went for the Astondoa 46 and the service was amazing. We saw sea turtles, dolphins and whales. Quick stop by a beach for a snorkel with the fishes and then back to drinking cava! Jan was great with the communication and made everything stress free. 100% would recommend to anyone planning something a little bit special.
