If you’re headed to Tenerife, Spain, in the near future, obvious top activities involve soaking up the sun on one of the island’s beaches, and then taking part in the nightlife after darkness falls. However, if you don’t think either activity is going to keep you busy for the full duration of your trip, don’t worry. You have plenty of other options. Other top things to do during a trip to Tenerife include…
Planning an Outdoor Adventure
As the largest Canary Island, Tenerife offers a wealth of outdoor adventure, with plenty of gorgeous landscapes to explore beyond the beaches. Go on a hike through a eucalyptus forest, kayak along the coastline or, if you just want to enjoy the great views without working up a sweat, take the Tenerife Cable Car for spectacular photo ops.
Visiting a Themed Park
There are several themed parks on the island (and note these are themed parks, not theme parks). A top-rated water park, Siam Park is suitable for all ages of travelers. Forestal Park is an adventure park offering zip lines and ropes courses.
Going Whale or Dolphin Watching
Hop aboard one of the many tour boats taking you on a whale- or dolphin-watching excursion off the island’s shores. You can find multiple tour providers at multiple ports throughout the island, with many offering tours every single day.
