South Tenerife: resorts & whales
Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos are the base for most visitors. Whale watching departures run year-round from Puerto Colón, with pilot whales resident in local waters. Book morning slots for calmer seas.
Teide National Park
Spain's highest peak dominates the island. Summit permits are limited and must be booked via the official park system. Sunset and stargazing tours handle logistics and often include cable car tickets.
Anaga & the north
The laurel forests of Anaga feel worlds away from the south. Wear layers — cloud forest microclimates change fast. Guided hikes help with parking and trail navigation.
