Tenerife has some of the best dive sites in
Europe. Despite its warm climate and sunny
disposition, the cold water of the Atlantic Ocean
is home to diverse ocean life. A variety of fish,
marine species and water-locked mammals can be
found around Tenerife, mostly on the Southern
Coast. Numerous diving schools will teach and
guide all levels of divers around the underwater
topography, while even more boat rentals and
cruises will navigate through the habitats of
whales and dolphins for some memorable sightings.
Beaches at the provinces of El Puertito and
Alcala attract tourists not just for their calm
waters but also because many are able to swim and
interact with the sea turtles that frequent these
coves.

Tenerife is also extremely popular with water
sports enthusiasts. A variety of beaches allows
for an assortment of water-based activities.
The coastal municipality of Adeje is filled with
beaches that attract surfers, parasailers, and
the like. On the opposite side, coves, especially
in the laidback town of El Medano, have ideal
conditions for kiteboarding and windsurfing. And
at the northernmost tip of the island is
Almaciga, a remote surf spot where surfers have
the waves all to themselves. However, around
Tenerife, there is no denying that every
sand-bottomed beach will have a slew of water
activities for tourists, from banana boats to jet
skis.

Nature-lovers and adventure-seekers rejoice!
Tenerife is packed with forest trails and
challenging hikes. Central Tenerife is home to
Mount Teide, the tallest volcano in Europe. The
surrounding area is considered a national park
and includes a variety of trails to get to the
summit. Apart from the arresting views below, the
scenery above of the night sky is just as
breathtaking. While the Teide National Park is
the most popular among tourists, hiking trails
are also profuse at the Anaga Forest and at the
Las Canadas Park further up north. Cycling tours
are also available once traveling on foot gets
monotonous.

Home to Siam Park, considered as Europes best
water park, Tenerife does not run out of
experiences to offer. Giant slides and a
near-perfect wave pool you can surf are just
among the few attractions here. Just nearby,
another water park, Aqualand, has dolphin and
whale shows. Loro Parque at Puerto de la Cruz is
a zoo filled with all types of animals and the
showcase of their talents. At Arona, just 5
minutes away from Los Cristianos, Jungle Park Las
Aguilas is a zoological and botanical park that
the whole family will be sure to enjoy.
