Exploring Tenerife…

Hiking

Volcanoes and mountains make up a large part of Tenerife, so if you’re into your hiking then you are in for a treat. Parque Nacional del Teide is a UNESCO World Heritage site and covers just under 190 square kilometres. Pico del Teide at the centre of the park is the highest mountain not only in Tenerife but across the whole of Spain, standing at a majestic 3718m. It’s a five-hour hike to the top, which isn’t for the faint-hearted. Although we were happy to find out that a cable car trip means you can still appreciate the views.

Tenerife’s beaches

The beaches in southern Tenerife are never-ending, with one beach running seamlessly into the next. Playa de Los Cristianos is the main beach in the south. It’s family-friendly and kitted out with sunbeds, volleyball nets, and an ice cream kiosk. Playa de las Vistas is great for swimming, and Playa de la Encaramada is a popular spot for hang-gliding if you’re an adrenaline junkie! Playa del Duque is one of the most upmarket beaches, with striped changing huts and stylish cafes and restaurants. Into surfing? The beaches in the north of the island are ideal!

Amusement parks

There are loads of amusement parks to choose from on the island, suitable for children and grown-ups alike! Siam Park, a Thai-themed water park, is the biggest. Loro Parque has the world’s largest collection of parrots. Jungle Park is the most popular, with nearly 500 animals to spot, including two rare white tigers. Aqualand, as you might guess from the name, is a huge waterpark full of slides and pools, plus there are dolphins!

Whale and dolphin-watching

Tenerife is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so whales and dolphins swim past the island on their migratory trips. There are daily excursions from Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes to go out to sea and spot some of these beautiful animals. We really love the diving here, the endless sun and clear waters make it an experience you won’t ever forget.

Day Trip to La Gomera

While there’s plenty of landscape to discover in Tenerife, you can also plan a day trip to La Gomera. The island has neon-lit streets filled with karaoke bars and British pubs. In place of tourist-led resorts, you’ll experience a more traditional way of doing things. As well as its old towns, you won’t be short of places to visit either. La Gomera is famed for its varied surroundings of black-sand beaches, volcanic mountain tops and rich rainforest. It’s no surprise then, that the island is favoured by adventure-seeking holidaymakers who love to lace up their hiking boots or hop on their bikes.
