The changing landscape of Tenerife is a captivating place to enjoy outdoor activities. Beach and water sports thrive on the sun-soaked southern coastline, while the best hikes are found in conjunction with the volcanic landscape of the interior. Meanwhile, children will enjoy viewing the diverse wildlife kept at Jungle Park or Loro Park Zoo. 

Many of the island’s attractions are natural features like white, sandy beaches and the towering heights of Mt Teide, accessible by a cable car and hiking trails. One of the most ancient sites on the island is the collection of six step-style pyramids that predate colonisation. For many visitors to Tenerife, these attractions serve as short excursions away from the beach. But the burgeoning resorts of the southern coastline provide an endless broad base of activities and entertainment for those who want to stick to one place.
