The best tours and excursions in Tenerife
Teide National Park
Teide National Park is the oldest national park in the Canary Islands (1954) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site . It is home to Mount Teide, which, at 3,718 meters, is the highest volcano in Spain. This park is ideal for hikers, offering various trails of different difficulty levels, including the ascent to the summit, although it is also possible to reach the top by cable car . The altitude, low light pollution, and clear skies make the park a special place for stargazing . The Canary Islands Observatory and Institute of Astrophysics are located here. If you want to enjoy the beauty of Tenerife's night sky, you'll find it easy thanks to the wide range of astronomical excursions available.
Whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife
The coasts of Tenerife boast some of the richest marine life in the world. Whale and dolphin watching is a must-do tour for anyone wanting to explore the island, and it's suitable for the whole family. The southwest coast of the island is the perfect place to enjoy whale and dolphin watching. Tenerife has several companies dedicated to organizing excursions to see these animals in their natural habitat. Tours typically depart from the ports of Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón, and Los Gigantes , near any of our hotels. It's a truly unforgettable experience to watch them play, surf the waves, or splash with their tails. As they are wild animals, their behavior isn't always the same, so there are numerous alternatives in this area of the island, such as sailing and snorkeling in some of the incredible coves that dot the Los Gigantes coastline.

A day at Siam Park
During your holiday in Tenerife, we recommend setting aside a day to visit the world's most spectacular water park . With its 15 impressive attractions, incredible decor inspired by Thai culture, and lush vegetation, it's one of the most essential excursions in Tenerife. If you decide to spend a day here, remember these names: The Tower of Power , a 28-meter free-fall slide; The Dragon, an attraction that practically simulates zero gravity; The Kinaree; and The Singha , an incredibly fast water roller coaster. There's also a dedicated area for younger children where they can explore numerous corners and have a blast!
Anaga Rural Park
Anaga Rural Park is one of Tenerife's natural gems. The Anaga massif, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO , boasts the highest concentration of endemic species in Europe. Here, you can hike through laurel forests, climb mountains to admire breathtaking views, traverse paths formed by lava flows, and explore deep ravines dotted with small hamlets. It's considered a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, offering some of the island's finest trails.

Excursion to the north of the island
The north of the island is dotted with absolutely beautiful places. Puerto de la Cruz is one of them. One of the most popular tours and excursions in Tenerife, and very close to GF Noelia, is Loro Parque . A magical place that is home to more than 10,000 exotic animals. Continuing in the north of the island, another must-see is the Drago Milenario (Millennial Dragon Tree) in Icod de los Vinos , declared a National Monument in 1917. Garachico, Teno, and Masca would complete a visit to one of the most beautiful areas of the Canary Islands.
