Paragliding
Make your dream come true, fly like a bird!

Kayaking - dolphin and whale watching
Not too long, great and you get close to nature.
Kayaking is a fantastic activity in Tenerife, and the views are always spectacular. It's the best way to discover the island's stunning beaches.

Other attractions

Teide volcano
 
What to expect. A stunningly beautiful volcanic landscape, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site - it's no surprise that it's the most popular attraction in Tenerife.
 
Climb to the top: the summit is 3718 m high. You have two options if you want to get to the top.
1: by cable car. Important: you need to obtain a permit, which you can do online for free at the Reservas de Parques Nacionales website.
2: by walking.
  • Tip: book your cable car ticket and permit for the afternoon, by which time the site is no longer attractive to most tourists.
 
Masca Pirate Village
 
What to expect: the road leads through traditional country houses to Masca, which is the best example of the wonders of rural architecture in Tenerife.
Local tour guides believe that Masca was the perfect hideout for pirates, where they surprised their rivals and captured their ships coming from the Americas.
  • Tip: Arrive early as parking is limited and try the cactus ice cream.
 
Los Gigantes rock wall
 
What to expect: the Los Gigantes rock wall was formed during one of the first volcanic activities on the island. The island's indigenous people called it the Gates of Hell, because to them it symbolized the end of the world.
  • Tip: Los Gigantes is not a full-day trip, it can be a part of your tour.
