Things to do in Los Gigantes

Planning your vacation? There are different things to do in Los Gigantes, a coastal town located in the south of Tenerife. One of the most recommended is to take a boat tour to spot cetaceans and observe the imposing Cliff of Los Gigantes up close. Its vertical walls end in the Atlantic Ocean, where the seabed reaches 30 meters deep.

It has a rich marine fauna that includes up to 21 species of cetaceans such as dolphins and whales. You can observe them in their natural habitat on one of the excursions that depart from the Port of Los Gigantes. They vary between 2 and 5 hours in length. Longer excursions include lunch on board, a stop for a dip, and a tour of the island’s south coast. An unforgettable experience to do in Los Gigantes!

“Los Gigantes always surprises, not only for its spectacular cliff, but also for the different plans you can make”

Bathing in the transparent waters of Playa de los Guíos is another of the most recommended plans to do in Los Gigantes… And for free! And if you like diving, you’re in luck, because this area is popular for diving thanks to the richness of its seabed. To end the day, the beach area is ideal for admiring the colours of the sunset with an unbeatable picture: the Cliff of Los Gigantes and the island of La Gomera in the background. Nearby there are different restaurants where you can enjoy good gastronomy.

Beyond the coast and without leaving the municipality of Santiago del Teide we will find more activities and points of interest. If you can’t miss a hiking route on your trips, in the high areas you can take the popular Almond Blossom Route, recommended at the beginning of the year when this tree begins to bloom. In the Chinyero Nature Reserve you can also take a trail and get to know the spectacular volcanic landscapes of the area. There are a variety of things to do in Los Gigantes!
