An island for all tastes
If you don’t know what to do in Tenerife today, you just have to keep reading; surely one of the following ideas will appeal to you.
Nature: If there is one thing that distinguishes Tenerife, it is its natural heritage. The island is said to be home to six distinct ecosystems; Microclimates, altitudes, winds and soils have conspired to make hiking, surfing or astronomical observation a real joy.
Adventure: This is an adventurer’s paradise, especially if you like to snack here and there. Is diving your thing, or do you prefer paragliding? How good are you at karting? Do you like buggies? Do you want to try paracending, a jeep safari, some sailing? You choose…
Well-being: On the other hand, what to do in Tenerife better than resting. If you are of this opinion, you will love the island’s wide range of wellness centres, spas and wellness therapies due to its high level. Are you coming for a massage or yoga?
Gastronomy: It has been said many times that a culture is known through its food. Discover the local gastronomy by visiting the guachinches, tasting the local wines, attending a cooking course of the specialties here… Or, simply, eat!
Art and Culture: There is also room for cultural tourism. The archaeological, architectural and urban heritage of Tenerife is a jewel that goes unnoticed by most. Its cultural activity is reflected in numerous events: exhibitions, music, photography…
An island for all audiences
In addition to all tastes, Tenerife is an island for all audiences. Whatever your circumstances, there’s sure to be something perfect for you around here…
With Family: If you have chosen Tenerife to come with your children… The theme parks are many and highly rated. Do you like segway rides? Or you can go dolphin watching! And of course, there is the beach, one of the best things to do for free in Tenerife.
Exclusive experiences: Whether you’re looking for the experience that makes the difference, the off-the-beaten-path or the exclusivity… You can see the island at the stroke of a propeller on a helicopter tour, go shopping in the highest standing shopping malls… and much more…
Sport: You can do “normal” tourism or you can choose another way: tourism through sport. Fans of cycling in all its variants, golf, running or, why not, sporting events, will find themselves in Tenerife better than at home.
Accessibility: The island aspires to be hospitable to all. People with disabilities or mobility difficulties can fully enjoy their stay thanks to local efforts that make the island increasingly accessible in the city, by the beach or in the middle of nature.
Transportation: Can’t sit still at your hotel? No problem. Moving around the island is a pleasure. Which do you prefer, the bus or the tram? A taxi, or a rental bike? And why not take a ferry trip? Do you need an electric wheelchair?

Find your own Tenerife
As you can see, the first thing to do in Tenerife is to decide what to do. You won’t have it easy, because you can do very different things and, unfortunately, not at the same time. Luckily, all these activities are stimulating, pleasurable, surprising, or even unforgettable, so whatever you choose, you’ve made the right choice.
It’s all a matter of trying, enjoying the experience while you’re living it and, once it’s over, savouring the sensations it has left in your body and in your memory. And then you will know if you want to try something different next time, or if you liked it so much that you want to repeat it over and over again, over and over again…
In the morning, bike ride or spa session… In the afternoon, a bit of wine tourism or go shopping… At night, do we see the stars or do we go for a drink? If you still don’t know what to do today in Tenerife, it’s because you want to; or, precisely, because you don’t want to do anything, which is also a more than logical and respectable option; After all, we’re on vacation, aren’t we?
