Visited on December 20, 2023. If you have the chance to do the hike to the top of Spain's highest…read morepeak, DO IT! You have to go with a guided tour and heard there might even be fewer spots to climb to the top as hikers love to take some of the flora as souvenirs. Def try to book weeks ahead. The views are still fantastic from the top of the cable car area. The guided hike starts where the cable car drops you off. It's not difficult and the panoramic views above the clouds are amazing - VERY peaceful. Make sure to stand at the very tippy top (a very small area for literally a few people; everyone gets a selfie from there). On the hike you also see & smell the fumaroles and the lovely, multi-colored landscape (yellow, white & reddish rocks). The guide always tells people to put their hand over a nearby fumarole so you feel just how hot the vapors can be. There's also a museum at the bottom of the cable car area which takes a creative spin on the creation of Mount Teide. You can even buy the comic book "Teide Legend"!

A beautiful landscape with all kinds of mountains and volcanos, and of course Teide. The cable ride…read more(7 minutes each way) was fantastic. The surface of different areas looks like mars. It's quite amazing in person. Also, driving through the black lava is very cool. Lots of twisty narrow roads so I suggest you leave the driving to someone else.

There's a campgrounds where you can sleep under the stars, a secluded beach, and of course the nature preserve with hikes and bike paths. I stayed not far from here while in Tenerife and actually came for walks and hikes a few times. It's lovely- the volcano is only about 170m- and depending which path you take will only take about 30 mins to reach the top and the views are worth the trek. Beware, it's very windy.

A bunch of us went to Tenerife and rented a boat for an entire day. We shared the cost so it didn't…read morecost us much when split between us. You can arrange a bunch of different activities, like fishing, diving, water sking, or make up your own itinerary. The options were pretty cool. Basically you can hire them to do whatever you want. We did half and half. We did water sports and a bit of hiking in a remote part of the island that is difficult to get to by car. What was really cool, is jumping off the boat when anchored in the ocean. This is what I miss most about living in Florida... boat life! WSC were friendly, organised. I can't wait to go back to Tenerife and do it again! Next time, i want to go to a remote Canary Island! One way trip of course. he he

I'm not sure whether a place can be classified a beach (playa) without sand. I grew up near a beach…read moreand sand is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the beach followed by sun and the sea, of course! Saying that, this particular spot is beautiful. It can be a great place for some reflection as one watches the wave crash against the rocks and water seeps into the natural pool. It can also be a great place to look at the little fish swim and tiny crabs crawling between the rocks. Don't worry, they aren't that many at all. You'll be lucky to spot one! It is a bit far out from most amenities however there are some cafés and bars at the top of the stair cases which lead to the beach. After soaking up the sun, it is great watching the tide rise from the café! The beach is surrounded by mountains and colourful buildings on the left hand side (if you're facing the beach). A great spot and not a bad place to experience Tenerife's blue sea!
