Great weather and beautiful little villages
Con
Hordes of tourists and some dodgy roads
In a nutshell
Hard to believe how underrated it is...
painterdave Says: The Flipper Uno is one of many boats that go out and find the dolphins and whales. We used this boat and had a nice 3 hour trip, complete with free drinks and lunch which consisted of a chicken paella. They got us close enough for nice photos and then took the boat north...
Whale watching in Los Gigantes
Twan Says: From the harbor of Los Gigantes you can take a boat tour to see the whales and dolphins. Although the whales are not too big, approx. 6m long it is still very nice to do. Also with kids as trip takes approx 1,5 hrs.Food and drinks on board.
Tamaragua Tour To Teide National Park
wise23girl Says: After stopping at the the little town of La Orotava with the House of the Balconies we soon arrived at the harsh moon like country that surrounds Pico del Teide (3,718 m). Where Niel Armstrong walked on the moon we were told. Good roads for bicycle riders, that is if you are...

Las Delicias: Number One Choice! Tajao
painterdave Says: This restaurant was our top pick of the 9 days we were in Tenerife. Not only was the fresh fish cooked to perfection but the price was WAY below what we expected. If you are looking for a fish restaurant near the airport before you fly out, this is the one for you. This...
Oasis: Only Chicken and Fries, Adejo (WOW!)
painterdave Says: We cornered a local business woman and received some good choices for food. This one, The Oasis, has a specialty of only chicken. In fact, when we sat down I asked for a menu and the lady said....senor... waving her hands in air...only chicken and fries. We looked around and...
Carla: Carla III For Tapas in Playa San Juan
painterdave Says: We were searching for Tapas and were not disappointed in this small restaurant along the waterfont run by a family. The owners do it all and they tirelessly try to keep their customers happy and well fed. Their mojo sauce is to die for and you can even purchase jars of it to...
Rincon del Marinero: Near Airport in Tajao, Rincon del Marinero
painterdave Says: We were searching for a fish restaurant near the airport in a small village. Going here on a tip from a local we found it was a great choice. It is located at the harbour at the end of the road. This was probably the cleanest restaurant of all the ones in which we had eaten...
La Pasada: San Andres--La Pasada Restaurante
painterdave Says: The owners of La Pasada do their own cooking and waiting of tables. We ate here, choosing it from several restaurants along the street, and we were not disappointed. The friendly lady owner suggested items on the menu and everything was cooked well. She did not speak...
Wanted: Perfect italian place!
LNata Says: Unfortunately, the place does not exist any more. The restaurant which is open instead (something of Balcan food) of this one is just one more soulless place for tourists (don't care about today's tourist, tomorrow other will come) :(((Located on a lower level o promenade...
Cafe de Paris: Waltzing to Archi Duo
wise23girl Says: The cafe seems to be quiet about 8.30pm. Then a couple of guys come in and turn on the disco lights, take the covers off the musical instruments and by nine o clock the music starts. The people start to drift in.Trumpet and keyboard to entertain and one of the musicians does...
painterdave Says: We used the rental service of Auto Reisen after shopping on the internet for a small car with full insurance. When we arrived at the airport we got a nice, clean car which had no problems. The price was as quoted and we were pleased with everything. Driving the island is...
Maria250 Says: Tenerife is well served by its airports with routes from and to the other Canary Islands, Europe and beyond. There are two airports on the island of Tenerife, one on the north side (Tenerife Norte, TFN) and the other one on the south of the island (Tenerife Sur, TFS). Both...
La Casa De Los Balconies: Genuine Isla de Tenerife Gifts
wise23girl Says: There are two shops opposite each other in the little street full of gifts for the eager tourist in La Orotava. The big difference is that both offer genuine "Made in Isla de Tenerife" articles.You can actually see some of the articles being made right there..In one shop the...
painterdave Says: In any good Canarian restaurant you are going to find the sauces called Mojos. Red and green, this sauces accompanies papas arrugadas (small potatoes), fish meat and breads. This sauce tastes only a bit similar than mexican salsa, but has its own unique flavor mostly because...
King_Golo Says: As Tenerife is located amidst a lot of water - basically, a whole ocean - there tend to be quite windy areas. The tradewinds (viento alisio) from northwest are saturated with humidity which means that they create dense clouds as soon as they come across an obstacle, such as...
wise23girl Says: Because of the unusual weather patterns of Isla de Tenerife you could be unlucky enough to miss the views entirely.Some days it is so cloudy up "in the clouds" you will not see a thing so your trip is in vain. So stay at the time of year you are most likely to be sure of...
painterdave Says: We packed too many long sleeve type shirts, as the weather report must come from the north side of the island. During January it was warm nice a warm. We used Ryan Air and so we did not have room to do both types, and I wished we had brought more short sleeved shirts and...
Pram not needed for Playa de Americas
derego Says: Well, we spent the whole of last week at Playa de Americas, splendid time, especially now when back in cold.Plenty of families were checking their prams into our charter plane. Painful task, and perhaps even expensive, especially when there are prams etc for rent (20e per...
King_Golo Says: If you follow TF-121 to the village of Igueste you can go to a beach where hardly any tourist ever goes to. It's only a small strip of black lava sands with some rocks scattered over it, but it's really nice not to have to listen to Germans and English the whole time....
painterdave Says: There has been a lot of building of condos and hotels on Tenerife. Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos seemed to be jam packed with these one after another multiple dwellings. For us, one morning walking the boardwalk and viewing the multiple shops was enough to make us...
