Top 10 Things to do in Tenerife, Spain
Tribal Terenife still shows influence from the aboriginal Gaunches people. Visitors clamber to conquer Mount Teide (Spain’s tallest peak) and to stretch out on the sands of Los Gigantes. Squawk hello to the playful parrots of Loro Park, or brave the petrifying drive to beautiful Masca Valley. For a true taste of Terenife, sample fresh farmhouse cheese and local bananas. A piece of delicate calado canario lace makes a special souvenir.

We used public transport to get to the cable car, which will whisk you up to almost 12000 feet (which is just below the summit). It is not possible to walk to the summit and crater edge, as you have to obtain a permit for that. Permits have to be applied for well in advance.
However, there are a couple of short trails you can walk along. Always be aware that the air is somewhat thinner at that altitude, and you will have to walk slower than normal.

Siam Park, Tenerife’s water kingdom is already established as the best water park in the world. Set against a backdrop of spectacular Thai architecture, with everything from meandering rivers to free-fall slides, this is the setting for your own epic adventure. Blissful relaxation or adrenaline-pumping thrills? It’s your choice – just dive in!

This Park is awesome and caters for all ages, the rides are anything between gentle meanders and hair raising high speed slides in the dark or under sharks. Food is a little over priced but the park is fantastic

Loro Parque is the world-famous and adored by all animal adventure park in the Canaries. Get ready for excitement and fun at this "must see" attraction..

This is a great zoo with a lot of interesting shows and animals to see. I would recommend everything, but to pick a few of the favourites, I'll say you definitely don't want to miss the penguins, whales, dolphins, gorillas, lions and the macaw aviary. If you want to attend all the shows, you probably have to plan a little bit and be there in the morning.

The longest lavatunnel i all of Europe, with more than 18 km now explored. A vulcanic tunnel that now has caused scientific interest, because of the cocroach born without eyes. An absoultely amazing experience to get a guided tour into this underground vulcanic world. Highly recommended for those who want to experience something different in this beautiful island.

One of the best tours we have ever done! Exploring the lava tubes caves with our guide Dragan was a highlight of our holiday on Tenerife. Excellent explanation of the whole volcanic landscape and formation of the lava tubes and then visiting the caves. Tour lasted nearly 3 hours! Well worth doing.

Everybody who wants to experience Tenerife just outside of mass tourism, is able to find a worthwhile goal - very close to the Centre of Icod de los Vinos. The small town with its old and historic towncentre is also known for the Millenary Dragon Tree, the Drago Milenario, which is located approximately three kilometres from ARTlandya. In Santa Barbara, a district of Icod de los Vinos, with quiet, rural ambience, you will find ARTlandya - la Finca. It is an estate with a tropical Park and old, stylishly renovated Canarian houses with different Exhibitions. Besides, it is no TOY MUSEUM and no private collection of dolls of all kind. We show you the fascinating world of dollART! ARTlandya is also no dusty museum in the customary sense but dollART from today in rooms from yesterday. Artistdolls and teddy bears on Tenerife? But why not? Tenerife exists not only of nature - the island also offers a lot of culture! ARTlandya is unique in whole Europe - it is a museum for contemporary dollART at the highest international level! A world of experience with DOLLS and TEDDYbears, a world for children and adults!

Despite the complicated directions, it was a place well worth the trip. If you’re staying in South Tenerife, I highly suggest renting a car and driving up to La Laguna then making a stop at ARTlandya. The owner is friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about dolls, the art of making them and etc. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Strange volcanic rock formations and spectacular scenery distinguish this park, which surrounds Mount Teide, an active volcano and the highest peak in Spain.
Reviewed By Andy P - Canvey, null, United Kingdom
This park is amazing, the landscape is so varied and has some absolutely breathtaking views
You can sit and wonder at how some of the peaks and rock formations occurred
Recommend a tour guide so they can tell you some facts etc and then head to the cable car station for the final trek

Reviewed By jean-s - North Yorkshire, England
There are a couple of good mirador to get you started (Jardin and Carmen del Cruz)and then a gorgeous drive through the Mountains. If you are lucky the clouds will clear and you will get a good view of Teide in the distance. Breath taking. We were only driving from the lovely nearby town of La Laguna but it is definitely worth a drive from the south of the island if you plan it well. Avoid driving through Santa Cruz though, it is a little intimidating.

Looks lovely. It is not really so hard to access it as I have read in other reviews. Some steps down, a bit of wind (the lovely Canaries' wind :))) ) and when you finally arrive with your feet on the soft black sand...u realise it was well worth it. Very clear waters and a superb surrounding. Would not miss it if you travel to Tenerife
