What to expect

The best way to spot the dolphins and whales that frolic in the waters surrounding Tenerife is on a cruise. And this three-hour trip by catamaran to La Caleta does just that, and even throws in a refreshing swim before you head back to the port.

Cast off on this cruise around Costa Adeje and you'll enjoy a different perspective on the dramatic terrain of the island. While sunning yourself and feeling a cool breeze wash over you, your captain will sail into waters known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales. With luck, you'll get to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Over three hours, you'll make waves around La Caleta, keeping your eyes peeled for signs of activity. What's more, you'll learn all about their habits, migration and food, and have time to contemplate their majestic beauty before enjoying a swim of your own. Then it'll be time to head back to Porto Colon while soaking up the sun.

    Although the cost of the trip was only £40 each, I think having to pay an extra 15 euros to sit on the loungers on deck a bit of a cheek, considering the number of people on board. Unless you want to stand on deck or sit inside you have no choice. Having said that we had a great trip seeing dolphin and pilot whales. The staff were helpful and friendly and we all enjoyed ourselves

    From the second I joined the queue at the marina I loved the experience. Staff were friendly and joked a lot. The pilot whales we saw were unbelievable. We moored up at the end for time to swim in the sea. The only thing that could be made clearer on the website is that sunbed are extra money.

    Boat was beautiful and crew quite friendly. Swimming off the back of the boat was great. More information on the Pilot whales we saw and the habitat would make it better.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Wine in the Canary Islands - a Sensory Experience

Hear about the island's wine-making heritage and embrace the sights, smells, tastes, textures and sounds at a family-run winery as you try four vintages, paired with food at every stop along the senses.First, at La Casa del Vino, a 17th-century estate-turned-museum, you'll be welcomed with a glass of local sparkling wine and a rosquette – a Canarian pastry. 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.

Half-day private tour of Teide National Park

Ready to rise above it all? This journey takes you straight from your hotel to Spain's highest peak, where otherworldly vistas and rugged lava fields have earned Teide its UNESCO World Heritage status. After a private pick-up from your accommodation, you'll stop at impressive viewpoints along the way – perfect for capturing photos of the volcanic formations and unique island flora. As local guide Carlos says, “Every layer of Teide's rock tells a story of fire and time. Standing here, you're seeing millions of years of the island's volcanic history unfold before your eyes.” You'll take a breather at Las Canadas del Teide, a massive volcanic basin shaped over centuries of eruptions that feels like you're stepping onto another planet. It's the perfect spot to stretch your legs, breathe in the crisp mountain air and sip something warm. With no rush and a pace tailored especially to you, you'll have time to experience Teide's volcanic beauty in your own way. Next, you'll visit the park's tourist information centre, where Teide's story really comes to life. You'll wander through immersive exhibits that dive into the island's origins, with guides on hand to share fascinating insights. You'll also find a native flora garden and interactive displays that trace the island's historic altitude zones through the eyes of legendary explorers like Alexander von Humboldt. There's even a cosy café and a shop if you fancy a bite or a keepsake. When you're ready, you'll hop back in the vehicle for a comfortable ride back to your hotel.

VIP La Gomera by minivan tour from north of Tenerife

La Gomera is the Canary Island where time stood still. Be whisked away in VIP class on the ferry from Tenerife and explore its peaks and valleys in the best way possible – by luxury minivan. Highlights include Abrante viewpoint, San Sebastian and Garajonay National Park – Spain's last remaining rainforest. Arianne, one of our guides on this tour says, "La Gomera is a return to the past, to the origin of the Canary Islands. It's a totally different world."In little over half an hour after landing, you'll go from sea level to more than 1,300m as you snake your way up towards Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are camera-grabbing views of the island's Jurassic-like landscapes along the way. Garajonay is steeped in Canarian mythology, as your guide will explain. There's a stop to explore the mystical Laguna Grande laurel forest, which is so moist that many tree trunks are smothered in moss.You'll tuck into a typical Canarian lunch at a restaurant in the heart of this peaceful and natural forest setting. Here you'll experience a demonstration of silbo gomero, the ancient ‘whistling language' used by islanders to communicate over long distances from valley to valley. After this peek into the heritage of La Gomera, which is still taught in schools there today, you'll head to a square by the port for a drink, with free time to wander the capital, San Sebastian. Finish off the day in style as you head to the VIP section of the ferry where food and drinks are included to while away the crossing.
