Tenerife: a world of activities.
What can you do in Tenerife when you have a few days to relax? Here is a long and varied list of activities you can do in Tenerife. From a delicious wine tasting to an adrenaline rush at Siam Park. The best activities to have fun with your partner or friends during your stay on the island.
Loro Park
Based on the evaluations of its visitors, Loro Parque has been named the Best Zoo in the world by TripAdvisor. It is a magical place that offers a home to more than 10,000 exotic and endangered animals, representing over 500 species and subspecies from all over the world. Its impressive facilities, the perfectly recreated natural habitats and its more than 1 million satisfied visitors every year, have made Loro Parque the must-see attraction of the Canary Islands.
Siam Park
Siam Park has been named the best water park in the world for the fourth consecutive year by TripAdvisor. With its 15 impressive attractions, its incredibly beautiful Thai-themed setting and its lush vegetation, Siam Park has become a real revolution among leisure parks. Great fun for all tastes and ages
Whale and Dolphin Watching
You can feel the warmth of the sun, the light sea breeze and the gentle sway of the waves and you let yourself relax. Suddenly, the boat stops, everyone pulls out their cameras, and peers over the side of the boat, their faces filled with anticipation. You follow suit and then you see them. First you see small specks that come and go, and then take the shape of imposing sea creatures. The whales and dolphins swim freely and peacefully in the water and, for an instant, you share the same unrivalled feeling as them: that of feeling free in the sea. The south-west coast of the island is the perfect place for whale and dolphin watching. In Tenerife, there are many companies which specialise in organising outings to see these animals in their natural habitat. Boats set off from the ports of Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón and Los Gigantes.
Hiking
One day you stop and ask yourself what your reasons for hiking are and a ton of answers comes to your mind. Because hiking makes you feel deeply connected to nature. Because the time you spend hiking is time for yourself, time you use to collect your thoughts. Perhaps the secret lies in all the things you discover as you walk: a beautiful and delicate flower growing by the side of the road, the surprising sound of silence, or a simple breath of fresh air. There are so many routes in Tenerife that you will always find one that suits your needs and time constraints. Take a look at the following website, among the many different options you are sure to find one that suits you best.
You can also download the Wikiloc app to your phone and get countless more trails.
Monje Winery
In the municipality of El Sauzal, about 500 metres above sea level, you will find this vineyard standing on a rocky but very rich soil, which is the result of the volcano and the passage of time. Although the wine cellars were built in 1983, the family tradition of the Monje Winery dates back to 1750. The old oak barrels are still used to ferment and age the traditional red wines, combining the old methods with modern technology. Participants will be able to visit the wine cellars and the vineyard and will also have the opportunity to try some of the most traditional and elaborate dishes of the Canarian cuisine.
Water Activities
Jet skiing, pedal boating, parascending, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, flyboarding, scuba diving… and so much more. In Tenerife there are as many options as you can think of to enjoy some time on the water thanks to the great climate all year round. That is why you will find plenty of companies that offer equipment, courses and training for all tastes, levels and ages.
