From the open ocean to the summit of Teide: ways to experience Tenerife, each one personally tested by our team.
We collaborate with the most iconic attractions on the island to offer you world-class experiences.
We've been operating as a specialised agency in Playa de las Américas since 2024, but our connection with the Canary Islands runs much deeper. We've lived and explored this island for years, long enough to understand where the southern volcanic gorges hold their silence at dawn, where the open Atlantic reveals its most authentic marine life, and how Teide's silhouette changes with the light of every season. In 2026, this field knowledge evolved into a structured project: Makà Experiences Tenerife.
We are not a simple algorithmic aggregator of commercial activities online. Our network is built on direct knowledge of the professionals who operate at the island's key points:
Tenerife can simply be the backdrop for a holiday photo, or it can become something deeper. Choosing excursions in Tenerife with Makà means gaining an unfiltered perspective, planned by people who truly live and know the island.
We're not just a website: stop by, grab a coffee and book your next adventure in person.
"The whale watching trip was absolutely magical. We saw three pilot whales and dozens of dolphins. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Hands down the best experience in Tenerife."
"We booked the Teide Sunset Quad and the catamaran tour — both were outstanding. Makà organises everything flawlessly, pick-up included, zero worries. Will definitely book again!"
"It was an incredible experience! The Teide Sunset Quad was spectacular, the volcano at sunset is something we will never forget. The guides are fantastic. Highly recommended."
Tenerife isn't just beaches and sunsets over Teide. For anyone who knows where to look, it's also home to one of the most authentic cuisines in the Canary Islands, provided you know where to eat it. The right place is called a guachinche: small family-run taverns, often set up in a garage or a wine cellar, serving their own homemade wine alongside dishes that never appear on the tourist menus of Playa de las Américas.
Most first-time visitors don't even know they exist. We've been bringing our guests to them for years, and the reaction is always the same: "Why didn't anyone tell us this before?" So here are the six dishes that always show up on the table at a real guachinche.
It starts with coffee, though calling it that undersells it. A barraquito is a layered morning ritual: condensed milk at the bottom, a touch of Licor 43, slowly poured espresso, milk foam and a dusting of cinnamon or lemon zest. Drink it without stirring, so every sip tastes a little different.
Small, thin-skinned Canarian potatoes boiled in heavily salted water until the skin wrinkles (arrugadas means "wrinkled") and a thin crust of salt forms. Always served with mojo: red and spicy with chilli, or green with coriander and garlic. You never eat just one.
Local goat's cheese, grilled until golden and slightly crisp outside while staying soft inside. Simple, often finished with a drizzle of mojo or palm honey (miel de palma), and almost always the first dish to reach the table.
The dish that best represents a real guachinche. Pork cubes marinated for hours in garlic, paprika, vinegar and local wine, then fried until crisp outside and juicy inside. Eaten with your hands, alongside bread and papas arrugadas.
Gofio is toasted-grain flour, a Canary Islands ingredient that predates the Spanish arrival on the island. In escaldón it's mixed with boiling fish broth until it becomes a thick paste, then topped with raw onion and mojo. It's a dish that divides opinion, but those who love it order it at every guachinche.
The great Sunday dish. Salted, then desalted cherne (a local grouper), boiled with potatoes and sweet potatoes, served with gofio kneaded into the broth and Canarian mojo on the side. It's the dish every islander grew up eating, and every guachinche makes its own way.
One practical tip: the best guachinches rarely have a flashy sign, and many only open on weekends or during certain times of year tied to the wine harvest. If you'd rather not wander around guessing, ask us which ones are open during your stay — we know them one by one, and we know which ones actually make their own wine.

Sea
We leave from Puerto Colón with one certainty: the whales in the channel between Tenerife and La Gomera are not passing through. They live here.
Adventure
2,200m altitude, a sea of clouds below you and the sun setting over the Atlantic. The optical phenomenon few can explain.
Tenerife
What really sets Costa Adeje apart from Playa de Las Americas, and why the sunshine in the south is no coincidence.
Food
Forget the tourist menu: in Tenerife's guachinches, the family-run taverns pouring their own homemade wine, six dishes always make it to the table. Here's what they are, and why.
