Book your Tenerife tours and activities online

In the constant quest to provide all you need to get the most out of Tenerife, we're teaming up with Isango! to bring you a range of holiday tours, sightseeing, attractions, activities and some of the best things to do in Tenerife, all of which you can book in advance online.

Apart from knowing what you're getting and being able to set and stick to a budget (so important these days), Isango! offer a low price guarantee that should beat the resort price.

Here's a quick look at what they offer in Tenerife: 

Getting out to see some of the islands' true nature

The Tenerife Island Tour is a strange choice of name for an excursion to the neighbouring island of La Gomera, but that is what the itinerary explains, with views "overlooking the pine valleys and bluebells of the Garajonay National Park. There is also time to spend in the capital, San Sebastian, where Columbus set sail on his 1492 voyage of discovery."

But never mind the naming mystery, a trip to La Gomera is well worth it.

The Tenerife Sightseeing Tour actually is of Tenerife and takes you to the emblematic drago tree at Icod de Los Vinos, the amazing Los Gigantes cliffs, to Candelaria for its Basillica, housing the Icon of the Black Virgin, Patron of the Canary Islands and Pueblo Chico. A lovely "taster" of the island and Pueblo Chico's delightful models will give you ideas for where else to visit. My recommendation: book this for early in your holiday.

You can't visit the island without making a Trip to Mount Teide in Tenerife. For those who haven't, the scenery really is as breathtakingly WOW as they say it is and, you really do think you may have landed on another planet. Tour includes cable car (weather permitting), which makes it good value at the price they list.

Having lived between Garachico, my favourite town on the island and Masca, the cutest little village, for almost a decade, naturally, I'm biased. The Anaga mountains at the other end of the island offers a similar, yet entirely different experience, if you'll pardon the Irish logic. And none will disappoint.

1. Trip to Mount Teide, Garachico and Masca Village
2. Excursion to Taganana in Tenerife

Where to buy souvenirs cheaper Than ASDA?

Choose between the Santa Cruz Market and Candelaria Tour, combining shopping in the wonderful market in Tenerife's capital with some sightseeing in Candelaria, or real hardcore shopaholics can have the whole Santa Cruz Shopping Excursion experience and take in shops and have free time to wander too.

The most obvious of the attractions, is the Loro Parque Wildlife Tour, where you can see whales, dolphins (better show than Florida, in my humble opinion) or choose from:

1. Park Las Aguilas Wildlife Tour
2. Trip to Aqualand, Tenerife

If you prefer the sea to pools, try:

1. Catamaran Cruise along Tenerife Coast
2. Tenerife Submarine Safari

Nights or Knights Out in Tenerife

1. Medieval Knight Show at San Miguel Castle
2. La Hacienda Night Show
3. Tenerife Palace Night Show
4. Dance Show at Pyramids of Arona in Tenerife

The obvious benefit of booking evening excursions, which include transport, is that you can safely have a holiday sherbet or two. I have been on the Medieval Knight Show at San Miguel Castle and, well, maybe it does have pretty questionable relevance to Tenerife, but it's still a bit of fun.

Romantic Arona and Rocks of Garcia Night Tour

The tour I'd most like to have someone buy me for my next birthday is this, the Arona and Rocks of Garcia Night Tour.

For once, the description, "travel to the viewpoint of El Retamar and enjoy a glass of champagne whilst watching the sun set into the deep blue waters of the Atlantic", is understating the issue.

El Retamar sits at 2,100 meters above sea level and, to get there, you pass through Arona, La Escalona and Vilaflor (Tenerife's highest village). The Roque Cinchado and Roques de García  (video) are in the Cañadas Del Teide national park. By day, it's like landing on the moon: at night, a whole shopping list of spectacular superlatives just doesn't cover it.

You just couldn't do this trip independently and have transport, dinner and the services of "a knowledgeable astronomer", at any price.

This experience is the stuff that "unforgettable memories" are made of.

I must say that I was very interested in the comments you made about this actual excursion, as I myself have actually been on it a few times at various times because of the different sky's through out the 12 month cycle. In my opinion its is an excellent trip and probably the best on Tenerife. So not having been on this excursion for nearly 18 months I've found the cost had risen consideralbly, it was advertised at 99 Euros and as far as I know has been for some 5 years and not the 165 Euros you state on your blog. I then went to Isango home page and that the price of this trip is actually 102.50 euros which after 5 years is a reasonable increase. from the Thirsty Beggar

To which excursion do you refer, as this post lists 17 different ones, (all that are listed on isango.)

Where in my post do you find a price of 165 Euros? I deliberately do NOT quote any prices at all, as these are liable to change, which is clearly beyond my control.

Whilst I welcome comments on this blog, that is, always providing they are relevant to the posts and are an accurate reflection of what you are commenting on.
