Boat Tours – Tenerife

Experience Boat Tours in Tenerife

Best things to do in Tenerife: The largest of the Canary Islands has many resorts offering the fun in the sun so many crave. Head away and into the volcanic landscape and there are many other treasures to unearth. Themes parks are always a fun activity, and Siam Park is a Thai-themed one. Go have a splash! Loro Park is a zoo, and Anaga Rural Park has wildlife and villages to see. Teide National Park is where you’ll find Mount Teide and views! And keeping with the volcanic theme there’s Cueva del Viento, a lava tube where you’ll get guided walks. The beach can wait for a bit!

When to go: You’ll find that Tenerife is a popular destination throughout the year with its location being close to Western Africa. For the highest temperatures visit between June and September, though that will be peak season, so very busy.

Top tips for visiting Tenerife: If you are going to head into the volcanic landscape, pack some hiking boots and maybe a jumper! Yep, it can get chilly in the mountains, and the terrain isn’t all smooth pavements. And when you head out on your boat tour, don’t forget to pack the sunscreen! The warm sun and the windy conditions mean you can catch the rays!

• If you’re from Scotland, you may well recognise the flag of Tenerife. It’s the same! With a blue background and a white diagonal cross. The reason? Well, it could be that the patron Saint of Tenerife, St Andrew (San Andres), is one and the same!

• Mount Teide is not only the island's highest point, but Spains, and with it rising to some 12,000+ ft, its shadow when cast over the sea, is the longest in the world.

• Another Mount Teide fact is that the last eruption was in 1909, and 4 have been recorded in history. Nothing to fear, and these eruptions haven’t caused any casualties.
