With its privileged climate and the highest concentration of hotels, the south is the starting point for most Tenerife South excursions. From Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, or Playa de las Américas, a world of adventure is at your fingertips.

Sea Excursions: Whales and Los Gigantes

The south is the epicenter of Atlantic adventures:

• Whale and Dolphin Watching: the star activity. Hop on a catamaran and sail through the cetacean sanctuary to see pilot whales and dolphins in the wild.

Teide and Masca Tours from the South

Discover the island’s interior in total comfort:

• Teide Excursions: most tours to Teide National Park offer pick-up from all hotels in the south.
• Masca, Icod, and Garachico Tour: the most popular full-day excursion also departs from the south to show you the treasures of the northwest.
• Forget about driving on mountain roads and let a guide show you everything.

Theme and Water Parks

The largest leisure offer in the Canary Islands is concentrated in the south:

• Siam Park: enjoy what is considered the best water park in the world, with gravity-defying slides.
• Loro Parque: although it’s in the north, most tours include bus transfer from Tenerife South.
• Jungle Park and Aqualand: two other fantastic options for a fun family day out.

Water Sports and Adrenaline

The south coast is a paradise for action lovers:
