Es war eine grandiose Reise, das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Schiff sauber und das Essen lecker. Sehr beeindruckend waren die Wale, Delfine und die wunderschöne Natur Teneriffas.

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.

In Tenerife you can spend Christmas in a different way, we have a warm climate that makes us the best option to escape from the voracious cold of winter. The weather in Tenerife in December is perfect to go to the sea and enjoy the sun and sand.

Things to do at Christmas in Tenerife

The streets all over the island are filled with light bulbs, Christmas decorations and concerts offering an ideal atmosphere to welcome the baby Jesus and enjoy with family and friends.

Family reunions

Tenerife - Boat Charter - (2).min

To make the most of the sun, the most common thing to do is to go to the beach to relax and share with family and friends. Locals and visitors alike often rent a boat in Tenerife in December to take a break on the sea.

Many welcome the new year on a boat with good music and when the 12 chimes ring out they eat the grapes and watch the fireworks display. Finally everyone takes to the water for the first dip of the year.

Christmas lunch

In the case of Tenerife, every home and restaurant prepares to present their best dishes. A popular dessert is the Trucha de batata (sweet potato trout) which is not to be missed. You can also enjoy turrones, mantecados de vino and rosquetes.

For the main course we usually eat Iberian ham and cheese which is the star ingredient of the island. Fish, pork, rabbit and kid dishes are also present.

Christmas traditions

In every house, Christmas trees are filled with presents and good wishes. But outside in the streets, the Christmas spirit is also present.

Christmas carols

Villancicos christmas

On the island of eternal sunshine, Christmas begins in the first days of December. Christmas carols are the first signs that the most special time of the year has begun.

They are traditional Christmas songs sung in groups. In Tenerife people go through the streets singing and spreading their joy to the rest of the inhabitants from the early hours of the morning.

Christmas dances in Tenerife

These are dances in honour of the baby Jesus, the best known of which is the Baile de la Cunita, which is held every 24th December. For this, people gather around the child to sing Christmas carols and pretend to rock his cradle.

Arrival of the Three Wise Men

3 kings tenerife

Many actors dress up according to the season to stage the arrival of the Three Wise Men, present a procession through the streets and some enter houses to leave presents.

For these and many other reasons, Tenerife is the best place to spend Christmas, good food, festive atmosphere, lots of traditions and best of all, a radiant sun to go to the beach and dive into the water.
