From Gran Canaria to Tenerife / Island Hopping

Why visit Tenerife

Being the largest of all the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a vacation destination in itself. One can hardly seriously state Tenerife can be discovered in its complete tourist scope by means of a daytrip, which is why island hopping can only provide an intuitively superficial grasp of the tourist opportunities Tenerife is so replete with. The Teide National Park alone could cover several days of one’s stay in Tenerife, not to mention the Corona Forestal belt around it, the Granadilla Moonscape or the two impressive rural parks on the island (Teno and Anaga). The plethora of theme and leisure parks, each of them more spectacular and interesting than the other, adds to the list. Beaches, sports opportunities, shopping and nightlife, all these can complement a stay in Tenerife.
