  • I have put together this Tenerife Travel Guide to share my experience of the island and hopefully give an insight into the many different excursions and day trips you can do, as well as some of the less touristy spots too.
    This video covers flights to Tenerife, Tenerife hire car, and Tenerife accommodation.
    More Car Hire Info: bit.ly/tenerifecars
    This Tenerife top 10 travel guide includes: Teide National Park, Siam Park, whale and dolphin watching, Tenerife beaches, Icod, Masca, Santa Cruz, Spanish fiestas and more.
    In my experience, people come to Tenerife for the sunshine and sometimes don't leave their all inclusive resort which is a huge shame as Tenerife has so much to offer. Hopefully my Tenerife Top 10 may persuade you to explore further if you're planning a trip to Tenerife.
    Tenerife is part of the Canary Islands and my family have been taking their holiday here for over 30 years. Tenerife and the Canary Islands hold a special place in my heart and I want to share with you why.

      Nice video however- If you mention culture, how could you forget La Laguna ( UNESCO World Heritage Site )?? The former capital of Tenerife after Garachico and before Sta. Cruz, with some of the oldest buildings / churches on the island, university city with an amazing nightlife plus, right behind you on Las Vistas Beach you have San Telmo, full of restaurants, pubs / open-air clubs which are definitely safer than Las Verónicas.

      @MrBigPauly1 6 років тому +1

      For another culture visit i recomend La Laguna
      (I’m from Santa Cruz, but i think it’s worth visiting, the houses are really pretty there, the only problem is, it’s always cloudy XD)

      Vivi en la laguna por una época corta, y me interesa: ¿Que hay acá? Normalmente me subí hasta el puerto caminando, viendo los atracciones y también en centro de la ciudad de Santa Cruz. Los parques que hay más arriba me encantan, claramente, pero.. ¿que hay que tenemos que ver en la laguna más encima de la vista del altitud?

    I was there in 2016 .. I visited Los Cristianos, El Medano, Las Americas, Costa del Silencio, Siam Park and of course Teide. Tenerife is beautiful and I will definitely go there again in a few years.

    I've been to Tenerife 11 times and golf del sur is one of the best places to stay you actually can't hear the planes in most hotels obviously check on trip advisor first and has some of my favourite restaurants on the island the square is lovely at night very lively in fact and entertainment all round not too busy but enough people to give the place a bit of an atmosphere

  • @royleon3525
    @royleon3525 4 роки тому +9

    Two memorable items you missed Capt. A star gazing tour and meal on Mt. Teide. The knowledgeable guide showed us how to recognise and read the stars.
    It was breathtaking and a World Heritage site. Be warned it is VERY VERY cold up there at night, even in summer.
    2nd was a visit to the Pyramids of Guimar. A site found and developed by the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. Just wonderful.

  • @jennand1994
    @jennand1994 6 років тому +2

    What a fab video!😄It's great to see the north of the island getting a shout out...Places like Garachico and Icod are just so beautiful - while in the north, it is definitely worth stopping off in smaller villages like La Victoria, Santa Ursula and Tegueste as well as La Laguna where some of the best food on the island is and great wine! And I agree, jump on a boat and explore the other islands if you can. La Gomera and La Palma will not disappoint💕

  • @MarcellinusVD
    @MarcellinusVD 6 років тому +1

    Great video, been 4 times to Tenerife and totally agree with your experience. You can go to the very top of Teide but need an authorisation, which is free but need to be asked long in advance. Or you can hike early, maybe stay overnight in the refuge and then before 9am you don't need one. Have fun !

    Drove through Masca a few days ago with a rental Camaro... I don't think I was in so much stress in quite some time. Once you start going there, forget about turning back as roads are seriously narrow! and yes, the view is simply breathtaking. When going to Teide, use the strongest sunscreen as the sun is quite ruthless in there and use it liberally. Had the worst sunburn of my life and it was followed by a sun poisoning! Now I'm staying inside until it all calms down and off to scuba dive and to Siam's park!

    Definitely my fav place for a holiday !!!!

  • @Relef0015
    @Relef0015 6 років тому +16

    It's very interesting to actually see the tourists' (at least form my point of view lol) takes on Tenerife.
    The island being "clubs, bars and all-inclusive resorts" part was very much expected (also, funny to hear), and it summarizes pretty well what the southern part of Tenerife actually is. But if you find yourselves adventurous enough and/or are curious about life in the northern parts, then your should definetly stop by places from Santa Cruz/La Laguna onwards.
    There's where you'll find the less touristy villages and you'll get a grasp of how most of us actually live.
    Anyways, I know the video it's from years ago, but I just wanted to give my thumbs up to such a well made summary overall.
    Cheers from Tacoronte!

    Fantastic job on my island. It is shown than Tenerife is more than sun and beaches. You forgot to mention San Cristóbal de La Laguna (World Heritage) and La Orotava which are two amazing towns. Also, I would add to visit Los Gigantes (cliffs) among other superb places the tourist can find in the island. Anyway great video!! thank you very much!!

    We just got back last week, stayed in the south, and in Santa Cruz, both great. Park Teide is stunning, visited a banana plantation which was interesting. Life is not expensive, and the climate is quite different from the Mediterranean. La Laguna is a nice town too. We'll surely be back. Your video brings back a lot of good memories.

    I'm living in Tenerife and i think that the north of the Island is a good place to visit too!! There are so many little towns where you can go for a walk and discover new places. In Puerto de la Cruz (a town in the north of the island) you can enjoy the sun 90% of the time in a year. There are so many beaches like Punta Brava, Martiánez... And also you can go to Lago Martiánez, a place with so many swimming pools created by a famous artist of Canary Island!!! In Puerto de la Cruz you can also find one of the best zoo's in the world: Loro Park. Here you can enjoy seeing the animals and the shows that they offers you.

    Tenerife was an awesome place to visit! Was there in 2017 with family and a lot to do. Garachico was very nice to visit, driving up and down the mountains was terrifying but fun, the beach was nice with cool water. Overall fun over there!
    Currently living in San Antonio, TX; apparently back in the 18th century, Canary Islanders founded SA,Tx. Bad ass!

    6:19 Yes it is protected, but you can go to the top of El Teide you just have to get a permit ahead of time.
    They only allow about 200 people a day to go to the peak.
    You have to request a permit via their website in order to get to the top, do this at least 60 days ahead of time, otherwise you will not get a chance.

I'm either going to be Los Cristianos or Las Americas but it's probably going to be Las Americas. Which I am happy with cause that place is awesome! Anyway, thanks for this guide!
