¡Hola amigos! Cześć! Welcome back to The Banana Life! 🍌☀️

​

Are you ready to trade the shore for the deep blue? While Tenerife’s beaches are amazing, the real magic happens out on the water. The strait between Tenerife and La Gomera is an official Whale Heritage Site, making it one of the absolute best places on earth to see marine life. We are beyond excited to present the ultimate ocean adventure: the Freebird Catamaran 3-Hour Excursion! ⛵🌊

​

Setting sail from the bustling port of Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, this luxury catamaran cruise is the perfect mix of thrilling wildlife spotting and pure Canarian relaxation. Whether you want to see dolphins riding the bow wave or just sip a cold drink while working on your tan, this trip is simply (fantastic)!

🐋 Freebird: The Ultimate Ocean Safari

Get ready to step aboard a spacious, multi-hulled catamaran and cruise the sparkling Atlantic. This 3-hour journey is designed to give you a taste of the wild ocean while treating you to holiday luxury!

🐬 Whales & Dolphins in the Wild This is not a zoo; this is their home! The waters of south Tenerife have a massive resident population of Pilot Whales and Bottlenose Dolphins. Our expert Freebird captains know exactly where to find them, offering you an incredible, respectful view of these majestic creatures surfacing right next to the boat.

🏊‍♂️ The Crystal Clear Swim Stop After spending time with the marine life, the captain will drop anchor in a beautiful, secluded bay along the southern coast (often near Playa de las Américas or Diego Hernández). It’s time to jump off the boat into the breathtakingly clear, turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean!

🍹 Snacks, Drinks & Pure Chill What's a boat trip without a little fiesta? The 3-hour excursion includes complimentary drinks (soft drinks, water, and yes, cold beer! 🍻) as well as light snacks to keep your energy up after your swim.

⏰ When Do We Sail? (Departure Times)

The ocean is calling! Freebird sails every single day, taking full advantage of the endless Canarian summer.

• Every Day, All Year Round: Typical departures are at 10:00 AM and 1:15 PM (Times may vary slightly by season, so always check your ticket!).

​

🎒 What to Pack for the Ocean

To live The Banana Life to the fullest on the high seas, you need to pack smart! Here is your captain's checklist:

• 🩱 Swimwear: Wear it under your clothes! The bathrooms on board are clean but small, so it’s much easier to arrive ready to dive in.

• 🧴 Reef-Safe Sunscreen & Sunglasses: The sun reflects strongly off the ocean. Protect your eyes and your skin while protecting the marine environment!

• 🏖️ Your Towel: Essential for drying off and getting cozy on the deck after your swim.

• 🧥 A Light Windbreaker: Even on a hot day, the ocean breeze when the catamaran is moving at full speed can be surprisingly cool.

• 💊 Motion Sickness Pills: If you don't have your "sea legs" yet, take one 30 minutes before boarding! (Better safe than sorry!)

​

🍌💡 The Banana Life Top Hacks & Advises

We want you cruising like a true VIP local. Keep these muy importante tips in mind:

​

1. Claim the Golden Nets 🕸️ Get to the dock at Puerto Colón a little early. When you board, head straight to the front of the catamaran and grab a spot on the trampoline nets. It’s the best place to lay down, feel the ocean spray, and look straight down into the water!

2. Listen to the Crew 🤫 When the captain slows the boat down, stay quiet and listen! The expert guides will point out exactly where the whales are surfacing. The quieter the boat, the closer the animals tend to come.

3. Waterproof Your Tech 📱 You will definitely want to film the dolphins! Bring a waterproof pouch or a secure wrist strap for your phone so it doesn't accidentally join the pilot whales at the bottom of the Atlantic.

4. Go Green  Tenerife takes immense pride in protecting its marine life. Do not throw anything overboard, and always ensure your sunscreen is eco-friendly. Respect the ocean, and it will give you a beautiful show!

🍌 The Banana Life Top Picks

​

⛵ Top Activity Pick: When the boat anchors for the swim stop, don't just use the stairs—take the plunge! Jumping right off the side of the catamaran into the deep blue is an instant, refreshing adrenaline rush.

🍽️ Top Restaurant Pick: ¡Salud! After 3 hours on the sea, you're going to be craving some good food and a solid sunset view. When you dock back at Puerto Colón, take a short, beautiful coastal walk over to La Caleta to our Top Pick: Coqueluche Beach Bar. Why do we love it? Your toes are literally in the sand, they serve the best mojitos on the island, and their croquetas and empanadas are delicious! It is the absolute perfect way to end a day on the water, watching the sun dip below the horizon with chill acoustic music playing in the background.
