Excursions to Do in South Tenerife: the Quick Guide

First-time visitors to South Tenerife often send us the same message: "There are too many options, what should we pick?" Let's simplify, sorted by the kind of day you want.

Half a day at sea

The catamaran into the channel between Tenerife and La Gomera remains the most requested experience: near-guaranteed whale watching, departing from Puerto Colón, a 3-hour option for those short on time or 4.5 hours to reach Los Gigantes.

A full day toward the volcano

The guided Teide excursion is the right choice for anyone who wants to truly understand the island, not just see it from afar: a lunar landscape, altitude above 2,000 metres, an experience unlike anywhere else in the south.

For the same scenery with more adrenaline, the Teide Sunset Quad or the Mustang Sunset Tour deliver the volcano's sunset from a completely different angle.

An afternoon that's a bit different

Paragliding, kayaking, snorkelling, jet skiing: roughly two-hour activities, perfect to pair with a beach day or as a break between two longer experiences.

For those with free time who want to explore on their own

Renting a car or scooter with no group constraints is the option for those who want to move at their own pace, perhaps combining one of the excursions above with a personal itinerary.

You don't need to plan everything before you arrive: message us on WhatsApp telling us how many days you have and what you enjoy, and we'll help you build the right programme.
