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.

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!

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 absolutely recommend this luxury and uptown hostel next to the Las Canteras beach. This hostel is…read moremuch more than sleeping place: awesome shared spaces (huge terrace, well-designed and comfortable dining area, spatial kitchen), comfortable rooms (the best one with an ocean view and a swing!) and charming staff is what you are to expect in HiTide Hostel. Moreover, there are plenty of extra activities (surf, sup, mountains excursions but also city and tapas nights) that you are proposed every day. If you come alone the staff members will feel you as a part of a team. If you come with friends or with your couple outstanding views and romantic suppers on the terrace are within the reach.

From the owner: Hi! Check out this incredible place in the heart of Las Canteras beach with one of the best…read moreclimates around the world. Here you can enjoy chill and active life whole year round. And it's just in front of the HiTide Hostel. We are in the hub of one of the world's surf-cities, surrounded by restaurants, bars, cafeterias, shops and supermarkets. During the day you can participate in various activities that we provide and at night you can have a good time in one of the music clubs or live music concerts right on the Las Canteras beach. With us you can practice surfing, body-boarding, paddle surf (SUP), diving, paragliding, climbing, hiking, mountain biking and many more. Like all good surfers we even have a storage room for your surfboard! The island of Gran Canaria is unique. It is our escape from the rush of a big city. We can show you places on the island that none of the tourist guides would ever be able to show you. We are waiting for you to help you spend some fantastic time here. We guarantee that you will never forget Gran Canaria.

My favourite place on the island…read more So relaxing and peaceful. As its the locals beach, not many tourists are seen, only locals, which makes it quieter and more cultural. Its clean and its lovely to sit on the warm sand looking at a good view. Rather than looking at an endless sea, you can enjoy the view of the mountains. The bars and restaurants by La Puntilla (at the beginning of the Las Canteras) are nice to sit in with a nice drink and with traditional food (really good food). You get good food + drinks for a good price with a great view and great weather. Its so quiet and fewer people unlike the beach down south in Playa del Ingles which is full of tourists everywhere! In the evening you get to walk in the shore and enjoy a great view of the sunset listening to waves. Id choose this beach on the island any day

This was my first time at this beach... I will warn you, parking is awful here! It took us about 25…read moreminutes to find parking and we eventually parked in a parking garage for 4,95 €. We stayed for 2 hours. There are shops all along the beach! We went to a coffee shop and ice cream (froyo) on our way to this beach. One thing I liked was that the beach was pretty shallow - great for parents with kids to not have to worry about the beach being too deep for their children. This beach is pretty mossy and had lots of rocky areas. I did see lots of crabs all over the rocky parts of the beach. I love that they are able to live in their natural habitat but did not like how they were everywhere - eeeek!!! Overall nice beach!
