We will find out the cost of a trip to the Canary Islands and places where it is better not only to dive, but also to stay in excellent hotels nearby.
The island of Tenerife is one of the most interesting and fascinating in its terrestrial and underwater landscapes of all the Canary Islands. The local depths differ from the coral ones in their volcanic grottoes and rocks, reminiscent of underwater castles.
The islands' pirate past attracts adventure lovers. And the local fauna excites the eye with its diversity and exoticism: cuttlefish, moray eels, stingrays, giant turtles, dolphins and even schools of grind — not the whole list of Tenerife's fauna.
There are no predators in the local coastal waters. Therefore, the Canary Islands are safe for divers. Divers from all over the world come back here again and again to enjoy the vastness of the ocean in the local depths.
That is why for Russian lovers of the water element and those who are looking for an interesting and extreme vacation, especially during the New Year period, diving tours in Tenerife are perfect as an active and memorable vacation.
Prices for diving tours in Tenerife
The average cost of diving tours in Tenerife during the New Year period is much higher than during normal times. However, if you book tours several months in advance, the cost will be much lower.
At the moment, in order to enjoy the underwater expanses, Russians will have to pay at least 200 to 250 thousand rubles per week of accommodation with breakfast included only in a 4-star hotel, where diving services are already available.
Consider the best deals from major tour operators that can be booked directly:
- For example, the Iberostar Bouganville Playa 4 * hotel, which is located in the famous resort Playa de las Américas practically by the sea, offers these conditions for 232,181 thousand rubles with arrival on December 30th.
- For the same conditions in the five-star apartments of the Iberostar Anthelia hotel, located in the conservation area of one of the most amazing and picturesque places on the island, the city of Costa Adeje, a Russian tourist will have to pay from 376,936 thousand rubles.
To understand when it is better to buy diving tours to the Canary Islands, you should understand that the rise in the price of vouchers always occurs as you approach the date of arrival. Therefore, the earlier the tour is booked, the cheaper it will be. Sometimes this period can exceed several months. We especially recommend considering early booking promotions on well-known online search engines.
We also note that hotels that already have a diving service, although they are priced more expensive than those with much simpler infrastructure, are still less expensive than those located near diving schools. In addition, it is important to clarify that diving and instructor's services are not included in the tour price, the customer pays for them already at the place.
