The Canary Islands in May have a unique aura. Nature awakens to life, the slopes of the mountains are green, the temperature is pleasant, and there are no crowds. If you are going on vacation in Tenerife in May, we suggest what to do during this time. Plan your vacation in advance so you don’t miss anything!
Tenerife round trip to Teide
The Teide volcano in May is stunning. You can admire the endemic plants in bloom, including the famous vipers (tajinaste rojo), which can already be seen in their full glory, reaching up to 3 meters in height. The weather on Teide in May is very pleasant, about 18 – 20 degrees. The air clarity is very good, making the experience even better. For those who like hiking, it’s also a great time – the trails are friendlier than in winter (no snow) or summer (when it can get really hot on the Volcano).
You can book a guided tour of Teide Volcano here.
And if you are staying overnight in Puerto de la Cruz – here.
Dolphin cruise
We personally love the dolphin-watching cruise in May. Why? Because the weather is perfect for sunbathing and jumping into the water. It’s also the time when dolphins and whales eagerly show off in the ocean waters and gracefully pose for photos.

Anaga
The Anaga Mountains in Tenerife, or magical forests full of laurel trees, huge ferns and views like from a movie setting. Although they are evergreen and humid, you can see something different in each season. When going to the Anaga mountains, it’s worth wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a sweatshirt / rain jacket. The views, however, are well worth it.

Romeria – a local celebration
May is the month of one of the most important holidays for Canarians. It is in May that Romería is celebrated. It’s a feria of colors, music and dance, and good food (because Canarians love to eat). You can find the individual dates of the celebration in a roll on our IG.
