Half-day Tajinaste hiking tour in Tenerife
Venture into the very heart of Tenerife and you'll find the tallest peak in Spain, Mount Teide. This sleeping giant of a volcano stands at 3,718 metres tall and is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Park that's just begging to be explored. Your guided hike along the park's Tajinaste Trail will find you walking among towering endemic plants, trekking through lava fields and appreciating the wild beauty of the island. Bencomo, a local guide, says “Teide National Park is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it's also recognised by the public as one of the 12 treasures of Spain. Its unique volcanic geology and natural flourishing fauna make it a symbol of biodiversity.” You'll join a small group for your half-day hike along a circular route that's been exclusively designed for TUI guests. Your knowledgeable local guide will share facts about the island's native species and its volcanic origins as you trek along charcoal-like stone paths and gravelly lava fields.The star attraction of this trip, besides the dramatic silhouette of Mount Teide rising in the background, is the plant that the trail is named after – Tajinaste rojo. Also known as the ‘Tower of Jewels', this hunk of a plant can grow up to three metres tall and bursts into bright-red blooms during late spring. Bencomo adds “it's not often that a flower makes a lasting impression, but the Tajinaste rojo definitely stays with you.”

Masca, Teno and Rural Tenerife Tour from the North
Rural, remote and rugged northwest Tenerife offers an enticing snapshot of the island's attributes. The ridge-top hamlet of Masca, the colonial village of Los Silos, epic coastal views and typical local lunch are just some of the stars of this tour. David, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I call Teno Rural Park the Lost Kingdom. It's so raw and wild. It's hard to get to and hard to live in – and even harder to leave. I love its local specialities, such as fried cheese with mojo and barbary fig jam.'Depending on your departure point, the route differs – but you can expect to spend some time admiring Masca, Teno Alto, Los Silos and viewpoints such as Lomo Molino in the heart of Teno Rural Park. Masca, perched precariously on a precipice overlooking a deep gorge, is home to fewer than 100 villagers. For them, the dinky chapel, massive laurel tree and gorge view are an everyday treat. Beloved of hikers, Teno Alto is even smaller and situated between lunar landscapes and vegetation-rich hills.Los Silos is the largest village you'll visit. The main square, with its gleaming neo-Gothic white church and octagonal bandstand, exudes the town's easy-going nature. You'll also enjoy a few pit stops at scenic viewpoints so you can drink in Teno's landscapes. And to round off the day, there's a typical Tenerife lunch in a family-run restaurant located on the saddle of mountain more than 1,000 metres above sea level. A perfect opportunity to sample local cuisine.

La Gomera Tour from Tenerife with Lunch
As you approach La Gomera by sea, the dramatic contours hint at extraordinary landscapes waiting to be explored. As Arianne, one of our expert local guides says, ‘A trip to La Gomera is like visiting a totally different era. You'll feel like you're getting back to the past, to the origins of the Canary Islands.' On this day trip from Tenerife, you'll discover remote villages, spend time in Garajonay National Park and visit the capital, San Sebastian. Garajonay National Park boasts pristine woodlands which are over 60 million years old, and they are undoubtedly a highlight of a visit to La Gomera. The park is a true natural treasure, recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Deep ravines scar the swathes of evergreen laurel forests bursting with rare plant life. The visitor centre is the place to find out more about the unique botany and history of Garajonay. Next, you'll pay a visit to some of La Gomera's most scenic villages where you can get a feel for what life is like for the island's residents. After departing Garajonay, we'll stop for a typical lunch made from local produce, served at a family-run restaurant with striking views over the island's volcanic landscapes. You'll also delve into La Gomera's culture with a demonstration of 'silbo gomero' – a unique whistling language. Arianne says, ‘With a landscape like ours, communicating by whistle saved a lot of climbing.' Round off your island tour with free time to explore San Sebastian, where Columbus set out on his first voyage of discovery.
