Wild Atlantic, sunny coast & volcanic rock
Not all islands are the same. Every island in the Canary Islands has its very own character, and you can experience this while island hiking on Tenerife. The largest island in the Canaries is a popular destination for hiking holidaymakers – and almost the whole year round! From the beginning of February until December the mild climate on the Atlantic allows for wonderful hiking adventures. The stable weather conditions are also what gives the island its distinctive appearance. With Eurohike you can hike from the green Northwest of Tenerife to the southern countryside through rugged coastlines and past dreamy mountain villages. Eight days of pure mountain enjoyment in the middle of the Atlantic!

Hiking on an island is always a very special experience, and this hiking trip combines mountain and coastal hikes. So you can enjoy not only the hilly landscape of Tenerife, but also the deep blue Atlantic.
Useful information about island hiking on Tenerife
Cooling down in the lava swimming pool of the coastal town of Garachico kicks off your week of hiking on Tenerife. Over eight days you explore the island and its valleys, coasts and charming villages. The challenging daily hikes are between ten and 15 kilometres long and can be very demanding in places. As some of the hikes lead along relatively steep paths and trails, a solid basic level of fitness is necessary to enjoy the week. On the boat trip from Playa de Masca to Los Gigantes you can enjoy the view of Tenerife from the sea. Planning your first trip to Tenerife? You can rely on Eurohike's extensive travel and route material, which will be sent to you before you start your trip.
Garachico is located on the roaring Atlantic coast in the north-west of Tenerife. The old part of town boasts beautiful mansions, churches and the ‚Castillo San Miguel’. The volcanic rock pools invite to a refreshing plunge.
