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

​

Are you ready to see the ocean from a completely different perspective? If you want to experience the incredible marine life of Tenerife both above and below the surface, we have an absolute treat for you. We are beyond excited to present the ultimate family-friendly ocean adventure: the 3-Hour Royal Dolphin Glass-Bottom Catamaran! ⛵🌊

​

Setting sail from the bustling port of Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, this ultra-modern, custom-built catamaran is famous for one massive feature: its incredible underwater panoramic windows! Combined with our beautiful, year-round Canarian sunshine, this trip is simply fantastyczna (fantastic) for ocean lovers of all ages!

​

🐋 The Royal Dolphin: The Glass-Bottom Safari

Get ready to step aboard a floating marine observatory. The Royal Dolphin isn't just a boat ride; it is an immersive experience that brings you closer to the wildlife than ever before!

🐬 Whales & Dolphins... Under the Sea! Tenerife’s waters are a permanent sanctuary for Pilot Whales and Bottlenose Dolphins. While watching them breach the surface is amazing, the Royal Dolphin allows you to head down into the underwater viewing compartments. You can literally watch these majestic animals swimming right next to the hull and under your feet! To jest That is amazing!

🏊‍♂️ The Crystal Clear Swim Stop & Waterfall After the wildlife watching, the captain will drop anchor in a beautiful, secluded bay (usually near Diego Hernández). Jump into the breathtakingly clear, turquoise Atlantic Ocean for a refreshing swim. And the best part? The Royal Dolphin features its own artificial waterfall on the deck to wash the salt off when you climb back aboard! 🚿

🍹 Snacks, Drinks & Pure Chill Relax on the spacious open decks with complimentary drinks (soft drinks, water, cold beer, and sangria! 🍻🍷) and light snacks to keep your energy up after your ocean swim.

​

⏰ When Do We Sail? (Departure Times)

The sea is calling! The Royal Dolphin heads out daily to catch the calmest waters and the brightest Canarian rays.

• Every Day, All Year Round: Typical departures for the 3-hour cruise are at 10:30 AM or 1:30 PM. (Schedules can change slightly depending on the season, so always check your ticket!)

​

🎒 What to Pack for the Ocean

To live The Banana Life to the fullest on this unique vessel, pack smart! Here is your captain's checklist:

• 🩱 Swimwear: Wear it under your clothes! It makes getting ready for the swim stop a breeze.

• 🧴 Reef-Safe Sunscreen & Sunglasses: Protect your skin from the gorgeous sun while protecting our oceans!

• 🏖️ Your Towel: Essential for drying off after the swim and the deck waterfall.

• 🧥 A Light Windbreaker: The sea breeze can sometimes be surprisingly cool when the catamaran is moving at top speed.

• 💊 Motion Sickness Pills: The Royal Dolphin is a very stable, twin-hull boat, but if you are prone to seasickness, take a pill 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. Listen for the Captain's Call 🎤 When the crew spots dolphins or whales, they will make an announcement over the speakers. Don't wait—head straight down the stairs to the underwater viewing cabins immediately! Space down there fills up fast, and you want front-row seats to the underwater show!

2. Grab the Front Nets 🕸️ If you aren't downstairs looking through the glass, the absolute best spot on the boat is the front trampoline nets. You can lay directly over the rushing water and watch the dolphins surfing the bow wave just inches below you.

3. Waterproof Your Tech 📱 You will definitely want to capture the onboard waterfall and your jump into the ocean. Bring a waterproof pouch for your phone!

​

🍌 The Banana Life Top Picks

⛵ Top Activity Pick: Watching the dolphins gracefully dive and communicate with each other through the underwater panoramic windows. Seeing them in their natural habitat from beneath the waves will give you absolute goosebumps!

🍽️ Top Restaurant Pick: ¡Qué hambre! After 3 hours of ocean breeze and swimming, you are going to be starving for some authentic local flavor. Take a 10-minute taxi ride down to the neighboring town of Los Cristianos and find our Top Pick: Restaurante El Cine. Why do we love it? Hidden away in a tiny alleyway near the port, this place is a legendary, no-frills Canarian institution. There is always a line (because it’s that good!), and they serve the absolute best fried octopus (pulpo frito), fresh local fish, and papas arrugadas on the island. The vibe is chaotic, loud, totally authentic, and the food is (delicious)!
