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.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Playa La Caleta and its seafood restaurants
  • Small coves near Playa El Bobo for quieter swims

Wildlife

  • Common dolphins often seen offshore
  • Seabirds such as yellow-legged gulls and Cory's shearwaters

Conservation Note

High visitor numbers strain coastal habitats—use refillable bottles, avoid trampling dune vegetation, and support local vendors to keep tourism sustainable.

Southern Tenerife was shaped by volcanic flows and has a layered history from Guanche settlements to modern tourism-driven development.
