Activities

There's never a shortage of things to do in Tenerife. The island offers such a wide variety of activities that it doesn't matter if you're looking for adrenaline, relaxation, or culture: there's always something to suit you. If the sea is your thing, the selection is endless: from boat trips to see dolphins and whales, to surfing, paddleboarding, or diving in crystal-clear waters. And if you prefer something more peaceful, nothing beats spending the day at a beach club, in a hidden cove, or simply taking a stroll along the shore. For the more adventurous, the island's interior is a vast playground. Trekking on Mount Teide, trails in Anaga, or routes along the Teno cliffs are just a few options. You can also try sports such as climbing, paragliding—with breathtaking views of the sea—or cycling routes on roads that challenge even professional cyclists. But it's not all about nature: Tenerife also has a powerful cultural agenda. Museums like the TEA in Santa Cruz, the artistic life in La Laguna, and the traditional festivals in many towns offer another side of the island. And, of course, the Santa Cruz Carnival, a world-famous spectacle that transforms the streets into pure celebration and color. If you're looking to unwind, there's also room for relaxation: spas overlooking the Atlantic, vineyards where you can sample local wines, or family-run guachinches where the experience is as much about eating as it is about experiencing Canarian hospitality. In short, in Tenerife, you can go from paragliding to toasting with a good wine in a matter of hours. It's this mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation that means the island always has something ready for you, whatever your travel style.
