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."
There's a moment, in the last fifteen minutes before the sun disappears into the Atlantic, when Teide does something that's difficult to put into words. It casts its shadow onto the ocean. A perfect geometric triangle, dozens of kilometres long, stretching all the way to La Gomera.
Teide is the highest mountain in Spain: 3,718 metres. But what truly matters when talking about the sunset isn't the altitude itself. It's the shape. A volcanic rock pyramid rising out of the Atlantic, isolated, with nothing of similar height around it. As the sun drops low, the shadow is cast laterally across the ocean, and by perspective effect the shadow corridor appears to converge towards a point on the horizon, forming a triangle visible to the naked eye. No photograph really captures it — it's one of those phenomena you have to see in person.
Our quad tour departs from the coast — where in July temperatures comfortably reach 30 to 33 degrees — and climbs to 2,200 metres. On that journey you pass through virtually every climate zone the island offers in about ninety minutes. The vegetation changes, the light changes, and at a certain point clouds appear. But below you, not above.
The sea of clouds is the phenomenon that surprises most people ascending for the first time. Atlantic trade winds push moisture against the island's slopes and clouds accumulate between 600 and 1,800 metres altitude. Teide is too tall for them — it blocks them. You find yourself above a white layer covering the sea and the coastal plain below, and the sun sets in a completely clear sky. The colours in those final twenty minutes — bright orange, deep red, then violet, then darkness — are unlike any sunset you can see from the beach.
A practical note we always make sure to give: at altitude it's between 15 and 17 degrees even in midsummer. Anyone who goes up in beach wear spends the most beautiful minutes of the evening shivering. Bring a warm layer.
We depart in the late afternoon. Sunset in July is around 9:15pm — so there's plenty of time to climb at a comfortable pace, enjoy the afternoon light on the lava landscape, and wait for that final half hour when Teide stops being a mountain and becomes something harder to categorise.

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.
