The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Bring SPF 30+ sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses—southern Tenerife gets strong sun even on breezy days.
Hydrate and carry a refillable bottle
Stops include tasting portions, not full meals; water keeps you comfortable during the 2–4 hour tour.
Comfortable footwear for promenades
Choose sneakers or sand-friendly sandals—routes are mostly flat but include boardwalks and sandy stretches.
Bring small cash for markets
Many vendors accept cash only for bargains, snacks, and souvenirs at local stalls.
