1. Teide Volcano — Multiple Routes to the Summit

In the center of the island rises the majestic Teide volcano, Spain’s highest peak at 3,715 m. It is located in the heart of Teide National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The road leading up to the volcano is breathtaking—the rocky landscape resembles the surface of Mars or the Moon.

No matter which option you choose, one thing is certain—Teide is the number one answer to the question, “Tenerife—what’s worth seeing?”

Interesting fact: On a clear day, from the summit of Teide, you can see the neighboring islands—La Gomera, La Palma, and sometimes even Gran Canaria.

2. Stargazing—Tenerife at night is even more enchanting

Tenerife is one of the best places in the world for stargazing, and in the summer, conditions are ideal. The altitude, the clean air, and the lack of light pollution—all of this makes the sky above Teide look like something out of a science-fiction movie. For this reason, the famous Teide Astronomical Observatory—one of the most important in Europe—is located here.

Book an evening stargazing tour with Oletenerife for a professionally guided astronomy session. Included: telescopes, Canary Islands wine, and expert commentary. This is an attraction that will delight romantics and space enthusiasts alike.

Tenerife’s summer weather is ideal for such activities—the nights are warm and the sky is almost cloudless.

3. Dolphin and whale watching cruises – connecting with nature

If you’re a nature lover, you can’t miss a boat cruise along the island’s southwest coast. It is here, in the strait between Tenerife and La Gomera, that pods of bottlenose dolphins and various species of whales—including pilot whales—live year-round.

In the summer, the water is calm and conditions are ideal for sailing. Setting sail from the port of Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón, or Costa Adeje, you’re almost guaranteed to encounter these intelligent creatures. Cruises last from 2 to 5 hours—depending on the package. Many also include stops for swimming in the ocean or snorkeling.

This is undoubtedly one of the most family-friendly attractions that leaves a lasting impression—regardless of the participants’ ages. You can book a dolphin-watching cruise 👉 here.

4. Jet Ski — Adrenaline and Unforgettable Views

If you enjoy water sports, then a jet ski or water scooter in Tenerife is sure to be a hit. In the summer, the water is a pleasant temperature and the sun shines almost every day, so the conditions for swimming are perfect.

Rent a jet ski and take an exciting ride along the southern coast. You can explore hidden coves and take photos from a completely different perspective. For more experienced riders, longer guided tours are available.

This is the perfect attraction for those looking for more than just relaxing on the beach.
