Most Popular Places and Activities to Explore in Tenerife

Visit Teide National Park

Visiting the Teide National Park is nothing less than a must when it comes to the Tenerife holidays. If you are planning on climbing Mount Teide, make sure to get a permit first. Wander around the well-known spots of Mount Teide with a guide by your side, and then rent a cable car that will take you to the top of the mountain, where you can view and be inspired by the breathtaking views of the entire National Park. It is recommended that you wear comfortable sneakers and warm clothes and carry a jacket regardless of which time of the year it is as it can get pretty chilly at the top of a mountain. 

Visit Los Gigantes Cliffs

Popularly known as Acantilados de Los Gigantes in Spanish, Los Gigantes Cliffs are another site to visit during your cheap holidays to Tenerife. There is a lot you can do during your visit to Los Gigantes Cliffs, such as spending time on the Playa Los Guios beach or taking a cruise trip around the Los Gigantes Cliffs. 

We recommend visiting Mirador de Archipenque, which is a perfect spot to get a full and clear view of the cliffs and the awe-inspiring sight of the sun setting on the neighbouring island La Gomera

Visit Siam Park

Rated as the best water park globally two years in a row, Siam Park is an ideal tourist spot in Tenerife city. The best part of the park is that it can be visited at any time of the day since the water is adjusted to a suitable temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. The park is less crowded during the winter months and 

features the largest man-made wave pool in the world. 

Visit Masca, the Hidden Village of Tenerife

Masca is a charming village located in the city of Tenerife. The village is settled in an inland area as the earlier citizens used it as a hiding spot for pirates' 

attacks. The village of Masca is filled with scenic locations, but we suggest going there in the early morning hours to enjoy it to its fullest as it gets really crowded during the day. 

There are different attractive spots around the village, and there is a small restaurant situated above the valley offering the best view of the village. 

Go For a Whale Dolphin Watching Trip

Holidays to Tenerife are basically incomplete without a whale dolphin-watching boat trip. You can book a cruise on the waters that connects Tenerife and La Gomera island since they offer the best views. Along with a chance to closely admire the whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, the cruise also offers 

hotel pickup, champagne, and snacks. 

Go on a Submarine Dive

The southern part of Tenerife is perfectly suited for submarine dives. 

You can hop onto a submarine dive with your kids as well as they will be intrigued by seeing the deep marine animals in their habitat. One submarine dive has a duration of 50 minutes and makes a pretty exciting activity for both solo tourists and families. 

Walk around Tenerife

If simplicity and peace are what you are after, then Tenerife is the right place for you. Just put on some nice and comfortable sneakers and take a stroll from Los Gigantes to Playa San Juan and admire the beauty of the city around you. 

Where to Eat?

• M.B at Ritz-Carlton Alabama

Since 2005, the American hotel group has been serving exclusive dining choices. Owned by the popular Basque chef Martin Berasategui, the hotel is well known for its luxurious ambience and diverse taste. It also happens to be the first restaurant on the island to get two-star ratings from Michelin. 

• El Taller Seve Diaz

If you happen to visit town El Taller Seve Diaz during your holidays in Tenerife, it would be downright shameful not to enjoy a meal (or two) at El Taller Seve Diaz, a warm and peaceful restaurant run by Chef Steve Diaz alongside her sister Lily. Book yourself a reservation through their website and enjoy the luscious Mediterranean cuisine in a comforting ambience. Their most popular dishes include steamed goat's cheese dumplings and confit suckling pig. 

• La Sandunga

Situated in between Tenerife and San Cristobal de la Laguna, La Sandunga is a small restaurant offering the best views of the countryside. It has a rural 

appearance on the inside, but the interior is adorned with wood furniture, dim industrial lights, and wide windows to make it feel like home. Their menu features everything from tuna tataki and house-smoked mackerel to Peking duck charcoal pork. 

The best time to visit Tenerife is from June and September. The cold weather months are similarly famous with tourists. The hottest month of the year is August in Tenerife.
