Day Trips & Excursions in Tenerife

As the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is packed with attractions. If you've only got one day to explore, make the most of your trip with this organized tour. Maximize your time with an early-morning ferry trip. Explore Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Puerto de la Cruz, marvel at views from La Esperanza, and see the towering Mt. Teide volcano.

Mt. Teide's cable cars only run in daytime, limiting when you can visit the volcano's viewpoints. This tour breaks the mould: whisking you up the slopes at dusk courtesy of an outside-hours gondola. Watch the sun sink over Teide National Park and cast the volcano's shadow over the sea from 11,663 feet (3,555 meters) up, and free from the daytime crowds. A glass of Canarian sparkling wine and round-trip north and south island transfers included.
