Our pick of the best things to do in Tenerife

Whether you live on the island or fancy a getaway, Tenerife always has something new to offer. Between volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches and a great climate all year round, the island has plans for a spare afternoon, a whole weekend, or a full holiday.

Nature and heritage: Tenerife's must-sees

Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots on the island are always worth another visit. From volcanic landscapes unlike anywhere else in the world to historic centres declared World Heritage Sites, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.

Teide National Park: Spain's highest volcano

Mount Teide is Spain's highest peak and the most recognisable landscape in the whole Canarian archipelago, with lava flows, craters and rock formations that look like they belong on another planet. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the national park surrounding it is one of the most-visited natural sites in Spain.

Riding the cable car up to the La Rambleta viewpoint lets you enjoy privileged views over the whole island, and even neighbouring islands on clear days. A must, whether it's your first visit or you already know the island well.

  • Price: free access to the park (cable car ticketed separately, from €40)
  • Address: Parque Nacional del Teide, 38300 La Orotava
  • Hours: cable car from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (varies by season)

Masca: the village hidden between mountains

Perched right in the Teno massif, Masca is one of Tenerife's most picturesque villages, with traditional houses suspended between volcanic rock walls and spectacular views over the ravine that bears its name.

The famous Barranco de Masca, which descends to an isolated cove only reachable on foot or by boat, is one of the Canary Islands' best-known hiking routes, though it requires advance booking due to high demand. Even without doing the full route, the village is worth visiting for its views alone.

  • Price: free access to the village (ravine route requires booking and ticket)
  • Address: Masca, 38391 Buenavista del Norte
  • Hours: accessible during daylight hours

San Cristóbal de La Laguna: the World Heritage old town

Tenerife's former capital, La Laguna keeps a historic centre declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with streets laid out in the 15th century that served as a model for many colonial cities in the Americas.

Strolling its pedestrian streets, admiring the colourful façades of its mansions and visiting La Laguna Cathedral are perfect plans for a quiet morning or afternoon, away from the coast's more touristy vibe.

  • Price: free
  • Address: San Cristóbal de La Laguna, 38201 Santa Cruz de Tenerife
  • Hours: open 24/7

Las Teresitas Beach: the golden sand beach near Santa Cruz

A few minutes from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Teresitas stands out for its golden sand brought from the Sahara, a striking contrast to the volcanic black sand beaches that dominate the rest of the island.

An artificial reef shelters the bay from the waves, making it one of Tenerife's calmest and most family-friendly beaches, ideal for swimming even with young kids.

  • Price: free
  • Address: San Andrés, 38120 Santa Cruz de Tenerife
  • Hours: accessible during daylight hours

Los Gigantes Cliffs

Over 600 metres high in some spots, the Los Gigantes Cliffs form one of the most impressive rock walls in the Canary Islands, dropping almost vertically into the Atlantic Ocean.

They can be admired from several viewpoints on land, though the most spectacular perspective comes from the sea, aboard one of the boat trips that sail past their base. One of the most photographed postcards in the whole southwest of the island.

  • Price: free from the viewpoints
  • Address: Los Gigantes, 38683 Santiago del Teide
  • Hours: accessible during daylight hours

Loro Parque: wildlife and conservation in Puerto de la Cruz

Loro Parque is one of the most renowned zoological parks in Spain, with a special focus on conserving endangered species: orcas, dolphins, penguins and the world's largest collection of parrots all coexist in a beautifully maintained environment.

It's a perfect activity for families, with educational shows and areas designed for both adults and children.

  • Price: from €39
  • Address: Av. Loro Parque, 38400 Puerto de la Cruz
  • Hours: 8:30 AM to 4:45 PM (varies by season)

Siam Park: the world's top-rated water park

Inspired by Thai architecture and culture, Siam Park has repeatedly been voted the best water park in the world, with slides that combine adrenaline with top-tier tropical landscaping.

From the Tower of Power, with its almost vertical drop, to the lazy river running through the whole park, it's designed for spending the whole day there, whether with family or friends.

  • Price: from €45
  • Address: Av. Siam Park, 38660 Costa Adeje
  • Hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (varies by season)

Auditorio de Tenerife: the island's architectural symbol

Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the Auditorio de Tenerife is, along with Mount Teide, one of the island's most recognisable symbols, with a silhouette resembling a giant wave suspended over Santa Cruz harbour.

Besides being a spectacular viewpoint thanks to its seafront location, it hosts concerts, opera and shows throughout the year in a setting architecturally unique to the Canary Islands.

  • Price: free exterior (show tickets sold separately)
  • Address: Av. de la Constitución, 1, 38003 Santa Cruz de Tenerife
  • Hours: exterior accessible 24/7

Plans and experiences: other ways to enjoy the island

Funbooker hand-picks experiences for people who already know the island and want something different for the weekend, or simply want to surprise a visitor. Ideas for rediscovering Tenerife from another angle.

Whale and dolphin watching by catamaran

The waters separating Tenerife from La Gomera are home to one of Europe's largest concentrations of resident cetaceans. Aboard a catamaran, you'll sail towards Los Cristianos with a good chance of spotting bottlenose dolphins and tropical pilot whales all year round.

The crew know the sighting areas well and keep a safe distance from the animals. A great plan for kids — the excitement is guaranteed!

  • Price: from €42
  • Duration: approx. 2.5-3h

Viking cruise, swim and dolphin watching

If you're after something a bit more original than a standard catamaran, hop aboard an authentic Viking ship for a 3-hour excursion off Tenerife's south coast. The route combines scenic sailing, a swim stop in crystal-clear water and, with a bit of luck, dolphin sightings.

The vibe on board is relaxed and festive, ideal for groups of friends. One of the most accessible boat plans on the island.

  • Price: €38.50
  • Duration: approx. 3h

Discover scuba diving from Puerto Colón

The warm Atlantic waters off Tenerife are perfect for trying scuba diving for the first time. From Puerto Colón, a boat will take you to dive sites rich in marine life, where a certified instructor will guide you step by step, no prior experience required.

You don't need to swim like a pro: this activity is designed for beginners and includes all the gear.

  • Price: €85
  • Duration: approx. 2.5h

Kayaking and snorkelling in Los Cristianos

For a calmer outing suitable for the whole family, the guided kayak excursion from Los Cristianos lets you explore the south coast paddling on calm waters, with stops for snorkelling among volcanic lava reefs.

It's a great way to combine gentle exercise with contact with nature. There are also packages that combine kayaking, snorkelling and other water activities in a single booking.

  • Price: from €39
  • Duration: approx. 2h

Guided paddleboarding

Paddleboarding is one of the most popular water activities in Tenerife, and it's no surprise: balancing on the board while taking in the volcanic coastline is a unique experience. An instructor will teach you the basics before you head off to explore the shore at your own pace.

Suitable for all levels, even if you've never stood on a board before. We recommend booking first thing in the morning, when the sea tends to be calmer.

  • Price: €60
  • Duration: approx. 1.5h

Go-karting at the Tenerife circuit

If you're after thrills on solid ground, the Tenerife go-kart circuit is a must-stop. With timed laps and a competitive vibe, it's a perfect activity for a fun time with friends or as a couple.

No prior experience or special licence needed: all safety gear is included in the booking, you just show up and start your engines.

  • Price: €20
  • Duration: depends on the package booked

Medieval show with dinner at Castillo de San Miguel

To finish your stay in style, nothing beats an evening at Castillo de San Miguel, where mounted knights, tournaments and period shows transport you to the Middle Ages while you enjoy a banquet-style dinner served without cutlery, in true medieval fashion!

It's a very popular experience among families and groups looking for a different evening out. We recommend booking ahead, as spots sell out fast in high season.

  • Price: €52
  • Duration: approx. 3h

Stargazing at Mount Teide

When night falls, Mount Teide becomes one of the best places in the world for stargazing, thanks to its altitude and lack of light pollution. With the help of professional telescopes and an expert astronomer, you'll be able to spot planets, nebulae and constellations with the naked eye.

A perfect activity for couples or families after something different: we especially recommend clear nights, the Canarian sky never disappoints!

  • Price: €42
  • Duration: approx. 2-2.5h
