Bucket List Trip: Reasons To Visit Tenerife

You certainly won’t get bored here, so read on for some of the island’s bucket-list activities and a few other reasons why this island is such a fabulous holiday destination.

Whales and Dolphins

Take one of the boat tours from Los Gigantes or Los Cristianos and look out for the many species of whale and dolphin that live off the coast of Tenerife. Most tours will take you out on the water for around three hours, so it’s a great opportunity to spot some remarkable sea life.

Temperatures are not scorching, but comfortable and pleasant, reaching highs of around 25°. This makes the destination perfect for any traveller, even young kids.

If you prefer the dry, hot climate then head to the South of the island where the Sahara winds maintain a higher temperature. The North is usually cooler and milder if your preference is to stay away from the heat.

Water Parks

One of the latest attractions to bring visitors to the island is the new Thai-themed water park. This is definitely worth a visit if you want to get wet and wild!
