Top Five Excursions in Tenerife

Tenerife has such an ample range of excursions that you’ll be spoilt for choice. So that you can make the most of your time during your stay, here is a list of Tenerife’s top five excursions.

One of the most popular trips in the south of Tenerife is the whale and dolphin trip, which guarantees sightings each time the boat sails. Choose between relaxing onboard an extravagant catamaran whilst the water laps at the sides or glide over the waves on a speed boat in search of pilot whales and bottle-nosed dolphins.

For something a bit more exciting, explore the ocean floor on a submarine or marvel at the exotic fish that swim below on a glass-bottomed boat.

The best place for the whole family to spend an exciting evening is at the Medieval Castle in San Miguel. Stare in awe at the castle’s astonishing towers which stretch into the sky as the Counts regally welcome you into their fortress for an unforgettable evening.

After the authentic medieval banquet comes the highlight of the evening. In a captivating display of horsemanship and heroic acts, knights upon horses battle against each other as you cheer and shout in encouragement.
At the end of the evening, you are invited to enjoy a drink and a dance whilst the Drifters perform.

A trip to Loro Parque – the best zoo in the Canaries – is a must during your stay. Here you can enjoy the comical antics of the sea lions, the amazing acrobatics of dolphins, the incredible bond between orca and trainer and the astonishing intelligence of the parrots in four different shows which are sure to captivate children and adults alike.

Let the kids immerse themselves in their very own park – Kinderlandia – complete with an orca roller coaster, imitation African village, bamboo huts and snake slides, whilst you explore one of the most impressive free flight aviaries in the world – the Katandra Treetops.

For more family fun, a trip to Siam Park is a great day out for everyone. Set in a tropical paradise, this water park offers some of the most exhilarating water slides in the world.

There is a great mixture of adrenaline pumping rides – such as the Tower of Power – and laid-back slides – like the Mai Thai River, so there is something for everyone. Relax on a spectacular white beach complete with swaying palm trees, whilst the kids uncover the secrets of the Lost City.

A trip to Tenerife would not be complete without a visit to the majestic Mount Teide. Drive through the lush natural paradise of Teide National Park which gives way to an alien volcanic landscape on your way to the volcano.

Here you will see red and ochre walls of jagged stone rise up and reveal the magnificent Mount Teide towering over the island. Travel to the summit by cable car where glowing yellow and white smouldering rocks surround the crater. From here, the incredible volcano will award you with spectacular vistas of the other Canary Islands.

With things for all tastes and ages, you’ll be sure to find something to keep everyone happy. From fantastic theme parks to spectacular natural wonders – Tenerife really does have it all.
