Other attractions in Tenerife

 

When it comes to attractions in Tenerife, there is no shortage of fun filled days for the whole family.  Mount Teide, Spain’s highest mountain is one of the most popular attractions which offers holiday makers the opportunity to see what lies at the heart of Tenerife.  The journey up to the mountain is one of breathtaking views, lunar like landscapes, Canarian pine forests, a diverse blend of flora and fauna and a drive through Spain’s highest village, Vilaflor.  Those who have a head for heights can take the cable car to the peak of Mount Teide (time and weather permitting). 

Another popular attraction is Loro Parque (Parrot Park) situated in Puerto de la Cruz.  The park is set within 135,000m2 of magnificently landscaped gardens, where birds, animals and sea life live in harmony.  Not to be missed are the daily shows performed by Parrots, Sea Lions, Dolphins and Orca Whales.  Katandra treetops is a recent addition to the park for 2009 allowing visitors the opportunity to view parrots in flight from above.

Journey through the jungle for an unforgettable fun filled day out.  Jungle Park, situated in the South of Tenerife is only a few minutes drive from Los Cristianos and a must for all animal and nature lovers.  The park is a natural paradise of flora and fauna as well as big cats, primates, reptiles and many other species of birds and animals.  Witness birds of prey in free flight and the antics of the exotic birds.

Ever fancied going on a submarine?  Well now is your chance!  Tenerife is home to the yellow submarine situated at the marina in Amarilla Golf.  The submarine takes you on an unforgettable underwater safari.  Witness life under the ocean without getting your feet wet!

Amongst some of Tenerife’s most popular attractions are the water sports, which can be found on most beaches around Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americas and Fañabe.  For those who simply want a gentle sail on the Atlantic Ocean, the pedalo’s are perfect and can seat up to 4 people.  For those who want something a bit faster there’s jetski’s, banana boats and a jetblaster.  Other water sports include parascending, bob diving and scuba diving.

If that’s not enough, how about a night out at the Medieval Castle in San Miquel.  Join the Count and Countess for an evening of fun and laughter at this jousting tournament.  You will be met by the hosts and shown to your seats.  The audience is split into different groups, each one with its own knight to support.  A meal is also included in this attraction.
