Full day island tour of Tenerife
Views over Teide volcano and Roque of Garachico
Discover the seafront basilica of Candelaria

What to expect

For the perfect introduction to the island of eternal spring, this full day tour of Tenerife's main sights is just the ticket. We'll marvel at the summits of the west and discover towns such as Puerto de la Cruz and Candelaria.

Leaving Playa de las Americas, you'll head straight for the impressive summits of the west coast for a dramatic journey through Santiago del Teide as we climb towards Erjos, a rustic hamlet in the foothills of the Teno highlands. From here, there are views of Teide volcano and over the island. We'll then descend to El Tanque – keep an eye out for Roque de Garachico, a green-topped craggy island lying just offshore. A visit to the village of Garachico is lined up, too.

Next up, we'll swing by Icod de los Vinos, famed for its impressive Dragon Tree which is believed to be around 1000 years old. We'll round off the day with visits to Puerto de la Cruz and Candelaria, where we'll see the seafront basilica

Enjoyed the whole island tour but would have liked a little more free time. The traffic, which was unavoidable due to an incident, held us up for some time.

A very good introduction to Tenerife both geographically and historically. The tour guide was excellent but the only downside was that we would have preferred a half hour less in Puerto de la Cruz for the lunch stop and an extra half hour in Candelaria as it was a bit of a rush to visit the basilica

Your guide will share the story of how savvy 16th-century Spanish growers planted European vines in the fertile, volcanic soil – catapulting Tenerife onto the global wine scene.Then, it's onto Bodegas El Lomo. See the garden, where rare grapes – almost extinct in Europe – continue to thrive, and sip wine, paired with a signature tapa from visionary chef, Jorge Bosch. The in-house wine specialist will take you through the key scents and stages to reveal a wine's origin in an aroma workshop with another signature tapa. Then, it's out to the patio for harvest snacks with textures of toasted gofio grains and a creamy local goat cheese, served with a fruity carbonic macerated wine. Your grand finale awakens your hearing. In a darkened room, try your final vintage and tapa and tune into how music affects your perception of wine.This is much more than a simple wine-tasting tour – it's a personal insight into how wine can stir the senses.
