I am currently planning the trip to the Teide. Plan was to hike up and take the cable car back down. I can only find two way tickets for the cable car though. Are there any descent-only options?
Hey everyone! My partner and I are finally visiting Tenerife for the first time next month for a 10-day trip. We’re staying in the north (Puerto de la Cruz) for a few days and then heading down south to Adeje. We’ve already got the main spots on our list like Mount Teide, Siam Park, and Anaga, but we really want to experience the island beyond the usual tourist traps and viral TikTok spots.
We love hiking, eating where the locals eat (huge fans of seafood and trying local wine), and finding quiet coastal spots or natural pools. If you have any favorite guachinches, lesser-known trails, or just a small town we shouldn't skip, please let us know! Super excited to explore your beautiful island. Thanks in advance!
We just got our rental car sorted and we’re split on how to spend our next few days. We had an amazing, super authentic seafood lunch at a tiny spot in Alcala yesterday, and today we drove up through the clouds to check out the Anaga forest, which felt like a completely different planet. The contrast between the busy southern resort areas and the wilder, greener north is wild. We really want to avoid the massive tourist traps and stick to local guachinches, authentic towns, or quiet natural pools where we can just sit and enjoy the view without the massive crowds.
Hi! 28F solo traveling in Tenerife for the next 3 days staying near Costa Adeje, where should I go to meet other solo travellers/ locals to make friends and grab dinner/drinks? Thank you!
I'm visiting from the 28th May for 7 nights with my husband and 2 children (6 & 7). We're staying at the Riu Buenavistas.
Other than Siam Park which we've pre-booked, does anyone have any recommendations?
I'd specifically like to take a boat trip with snorkeling but open to other suggestions.
Also - is an unheated pool at the hotel likely to be ok for my 6 year old used to indoor UK pools? She's not great with the cold 🤣
Can you give me some recommendations for dinner restaurants that are within 30 min. walking distance from this hotel? Any cuisine is fine, but seafood is preferred . We would love a place with a view, if possible. We tried a few places in La Caleta that were okay, but nothing was very memorable. Hoping to find something better, and feeling overwhelmed with lists on Trip Advisor. Thank you!!
So I want to explore around Tenerife but we are staying in golf del sur at a hotel. Not sure if there’s anything to do there and we’re also looking at exploring around. Any cool places to go? Or activities.
Also what would be the best form of transport? Does anyone know of any apps for taxis as I think uber will be expensive or would we ask the hotel to book the taxis. I’m worried about getting ripped off
Looking for advice please.
Coming to Tenerife for a week and staying in Costa Adeje. We want to visit Mount Teide and have read the best way is via car.
Seen as we will only want a car for the day any recommendations of hire companies or anything else that might be suitable ( 2 adults 4 kids).
Thanks
I’ll be visiting with my grandmother next week for 4 days. We love food, the sun and wandering around - would love to do a stargazing tour on Teide but would like to avoid hiking if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants, cooking classes, must see things to see/do? We’ll be staying near Costa Adeje.
A wonderful holiday. Thank you
Hey me and my partner are visting end of june, in the south - playas de las americas, we know our place is close to veronicas strips and beach but for 5 nights i really want to explore other places as well. would love reccomendations for -restaurants, bars, clubs, tourist attractions, mesuems, etc which are good value for money.
Also any places to avoid
Taking my wife to Costa Adeje. Can someone recommend a nice hotel. Somewhere close to beach and evening restaurants/entertainment.
It’s for her birthday so don’t mind splashing out a little. 180-240 per night would be the budget
I hiked on 4th may to the top of Teide over PNT 23-09-10 (south-west). At the beginning of the trail two rangers checked our permits and if we have winter boots and crampons. I also think they checked if we have ice axes but the axes were looking outside of the bag so it was obviously.
To get to the point: there was no snow at all and if I have used crampons (the sharp and big ones, not spikes) they’ll get broken because they are made for ice and not for 2 snowflakes laying on the way up. I don’t understand why they keep the winter restrictions. I have been in Austria on mountains of this height and there you have to walk on glaciers to get to the top. There was nobody to check if you have crampons or even an insurance.
For the ones hiking up: 1700 height meters, very little switchbacks and very windy at the top. We got up and down in 12h (including pauses and photo-stops). It’s not a technical but a strenuous hike.
We’re planning a two-and-a-half-week family holiday to Tenerife in January 2027. Our kids will be two and a half years old and eleven months old at the time. We’re considering splitting the trip into two parts. The first half will be spent in the northern part of the island, where we’ll hike and sightsee. The second half will be in the southern part, where we’ll relax on the beaches. I’m thinking of staying in Puerto de la Cruz for the northern island activities and Costa Adeje for our southern beach time. What are your thoughts on these two locations?
hi, we are in tenerife and heard that you can t take fruits in your luggage.
We are going back in a EU country so i was curious if you know anything about this?
Of course i am talking about a small quantity.
