Yachts and catamarans whose itineraries visit here — book direct and save
La Banana is actually a rock formation near Wolf Island, that got its name because of the shape of the wall. This site is a great diving spot, more appropriate for experienced divers, because of the heavy surge, sometimes strong currents and limited visibility, depending on the season. The depth range is from 30 to 120ft. There is no landing site on the island. It can be visited by taking a dive ship. You can spot here some majestic animals, like dolphins, hammerhead sharks and whale sharks. You can also explore the impressive vertical wall, with its tunnels and caverns.
