Top 10 Adventures in Tenerife

Tenerife is the biggest Canary Island, and is considered one of the most popular for a reason. It’s one of the most popular European holiday destinations, and especially in the winter period, when the usual favorite resorts are already “wintering”. The abundance of multifaceted entertainment does not allow vacationers to get bored. From high mountains drowned in clouds to volcanic beaches by the warm Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic trip, or an active adventure seeker, there’s something for everyone to do on this island.

In this article, we will share the TOP 10 attractions in Tenerife and advise you how to save money when buying tickets for entertainment in Tenerife in advance online.

Top 10 entertainment in Tenerife – how to save money

The first tip is to buy tickets in advance

We advise you to buy tickets for planned entertainment in advance, because almost all amusement parks and museums provides such an opportunity. In addition, most places of entertainment offer exclusive discounts to those who purchase tickets online. This way you can even save money, but buying tickets early often also saves you a lot of time and you won’t have to stand in queues at the ticket office.

Also, you need to buy seats in advance for some entertainment and tours, because during the high season, seats just run out very quickly and everyone makes reservations well in advance to ensure entertainment.

Second tip – get a myTU payment card

Also, grab our travel card – myTU payment card, which our entire family uses.

Why it is convenient to use when traveling, you ask? Because with myTU:

• Each of us can withdraw up to 200 euros for free.
• We use the card for online payments, that is, when purchasing tickets for entertainment, museums, and booking excursions.
• You can open a free account for children from the age of 7 simply by mobile phone. Our children have myTU cards, which is very convenient – we always transfer the children’s holiday amount, which they can use at their discretion. And if the children go to buy a drink or a snack at the entertainment venue, we can transfer the required amount to their cards with one click of a button. This way we can continue to enjoy the sun with a book and not have to follow the children.
• If your payment card has been lost or stolen, you can lock it in the app immediately and order a new one.
• You can enable/disable contactless payments, cash withdrawals from ATMs and online payments at any time.
• You can change your card’s billing limit at any time.

Top 10 things to do in Tenerife

Siam Water Park

No. 1 entertainment in Tenerife. Siam Water Park is the largest water park in the Canaries and even in Europe. The park is open air. The park is reminiscent of Thailand – all decorations, plants, names of attractions are carefully considered. The park was opened by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand herself. For several years, this water park has been recognized as the best park in the world on the Tripadvisor website! More than 20 attractions, even several separate areas for smaller children.

“Travels with children” and myTU recommend you purchase a TWIN ticket together with Loro Park tickets in advance. During the high season, you can spend up to an hour at the ticket office of Siam Water Park, so don’t waste time and travel directly to the entrance with a pre-purchased ticket.

Loro Park

It is one of the most beautiful zoos in the world, both for its beauty, its excellent facilities and its absolute respect for nature.

The park is really big, there is a large aquarium with an underwater tunnel, and a separate penguinarium. There are sea lion and seal, dolphin and spectacular orca and parrot shows that are included in the price.

“Traveling with children” and myTU recommend purchasing a TWIN ticket in advance together with SIAM park tickets or buying a ticket only to Loro Park online in advance. During the high season, you can spend up to an hour at the ticket office of Loro Park, so don’t waste time and travel directly to the entrance with a pre-purchased ticket.

Teide National Park

They say that if you come to Tenerife and don’t go to Teide, you haven’t been to Tenerife. Teide National Park is the largest park in the Canary Islands. A unique landscape of craters, volcanoes and petrified lava surrounding the impressive Mount Teide, 3718m above sea level. Teide Park has 41 marked trails of varying difficulty and duration, 3 visitor centers and a lift.

Teide National Park, located in the center of the island of Tenerife, is the largest and oldest of the four national parks in the Canary Islands.

With pre-purchased lift tickets and even drop-off, not only will you avoid the queues, but you will also conveniently receive electronic notifications before you get ready to travel, if sometimes the lift will not start that day due to weather conditions. This way, you will be able to reschedule the day without wasting time and travel to Teide when you are sure of the weather conditions.

Also “Traveling with children” and myTU very much recommends the stargazing excursion, which must be purchased in advance as space is limited, and the excursion will leave neither children nor adults indifferent.

Sailing on a submarine

Yellow Sub Fun Cinco submarine with 42 comfortable seats and 22 large panoramic windows to see the amazing underwater beauty of the sea teeming with life.

The tour starts from the exclusive port of Amarilla in southern Tenerife. Once you board the fun Sub Fun Cinco, you’ll dive to a depth of approximately 100 feet (30 meters). During the tour, the submarine will actually be on the ocean floor, where you will be joined by experienced divers who will lure the fish even closer to the window, allowing you to see breathtaking views through the panoramic windows.

“Traveling with children” and myTU advises you to buy tickets that are recommended in advance, as there are often no seats, especially during the tourist season. Pay safely and quickly with the  myTU card.

Swimming to watch dolphins

This is our favorite, nature-friendly and inexpensive option – ECO Dolphin Cruise.

Join an eco-friendly, non-chasing whale and dolphin cruise from Los Cristianos. Explore the marine life of South Tenerife with the only cruise company in Spain that works with non-profit organizations Sea Shepherd UK and the Dolphin Project to ensure a safe and conscious whale watching experience.

You can see whales, sperm whales, blue whales and even orcas during your trip. Watch for migrating turtles, tuna and even sharks.

Flamenco Show

How can we do without Flamenco, which is an integral part of Spain. It is not only the dance, beautiful costumes, but also the whole story.

We offer you to choose from several options in Costa Adeje, Puerto de la Cruz or in San Miguel Castle and buy tickets in advance, because not only will you be sure to get a seat, but you will also be able to buy seats with better visibility in advance.

Las Olas events are particularly characterized by quality, exceptional cozy surroundings and wonderful service. Be sure to buy tickets in advance, as these shows are extremely popular. And for adults, leaving children with grandparents or a nanny, we recommend you also visit the SCANDAL event with a wonderful dinner. Definitely worth it!

A performance of medieval knights

This medieval knight performance in a real castle with dinner is an absolutely unique event in Tenerife.

The event takes place only on certain days and has recently become very popular with visiting tourists, so be sure to plan your evening in advance and buy tickets online.

Aqua Club Thermal

Everyone knows Siam or Aqualand water parks in Tenerife, but have you heard of AQUA CLUB THERMAL? It is the largest spa in Tenerife. And the price of the visit is really very friendly too.

Buy in advance online and enjoy an exclusive spa in Tenerife.

Exciting tour of the banana plantation with tasting

We liked it a lot. The hostess told a really interesting story about bananas, how the locals call them “platanos”, how they are grown, how many days they ripen, when they are harvested. Children were shown how to make “toys” from sycamore bark. At the end of the tour, we tasted not only sycamores, but also gofio sweets, various sauces, and adults were also offered a sycamore wine tasting.

“Traveling with children” and myTU advise you – book in advance and buy tickets in season (at least the day before, and if you want to visit on Saturday and a few days before), especially if you plan to go on a guided tour.

Excursions around the island

Excursions around the island or to neighboring La Gomera are always very popular. Travel to National parks of Tenerife, see the most beautiful mountain ranges, visit the coziest towns on the island and get to know the natural diversity and history of the island of Tenerife.
