Things to Do in Tenerife

#1
Diving, Snorkeling and
Cetacean Watching
Tenerife has some of the best
dive sites in Europe. Despite its
warm climate and sunny
disposition, the cold water of the
Atlantic Ocean is home to
diverse ocean life. A variety of
fish, marine species and water-
locked mammals can be found
around Tenerife, mostly on the
Southern Coast. Numerous
diving schools will teach and
guide all levels of divers around
the underwater topography,
while even more boat rentals
and cruises will navigate through
the habitats of whales and
dolphins for some memorable
sightings. Beaches at the
provinces of El Puertito and
Alcala attract tourists not just for
their calm waters but also
because many are able to swim
and interact with the sea turtles
#2
Watersports
Tenerife is also extremely popular
with water sports enthusiasts. A
variety of beaches allows for an
assortment of water-based
activities. Thecoastal municipality
of Adejeis filled with beaches that
attract surfers, parasailers, and the
like. On the opposite side, coves,
especially in thelaidback town of El
Medano, have ideal conditions for
kiteboarding and windsurfing. And
at the northernmost tip of the island
is Almaciga, a remote surf spot
where surfers have the waves all to
themselves. However, around
Tenerife, there is no denying that
every sand-bottomed beach will
have a slew of water activities for
tourists, from banana boats to jet
skis.

Hiking and Trekking
Nature-lovers and adventure-
seekers rejoice! Tenerife is packed
with forest trails and challenging
hikes. Central Tenerife is home to
Mount Teide, the tallest volcano in
Europe. The surrounding area is
considered a national park and
includes a variety of trails to get to
the summit. Apart from the
arresting views below, the scenery
above of the night sky is just as
breathtaking. While the Teide
National Park is the most popular
among tourists, hiking trails are
also profuse at the Anaga Forest
and at the Las Canadas Park
further up north. Cycling tours are
also available once traveling on
foot gets monotonous.
