Overview

Tenerife, an island of colour and contrasts waiting to be discovered a new, time and time again. There is much more to this Canary Island than sun-kissed beaches and imposing Mount Teide, and we can hardly wait to share its beauty with you on this one-week self-guided walking holiday. You will traverse the awe-inspiring ridges of the Teno Masif, hike along the King’s Trail, and delight in the kaleidoscope of colour of the exuberant endemic flowers of this spectacular island. Staying in a fantastic selection of 3-star and 4 star hotels on a bed and breakfast basis, you can take joy in sampling the many restaurants on offer, or perhaps visit one of the modest ‘guachiniches’ for an authentic taste of the Canaries.


You will spend two nights in the historic coastal town of Garachico, where you can end your day hiking with a dip in the town's unique natural pool and feast on freshly caught seafood, before leaving the hustle and bustle behind in favour of the traditional hillside town of Santiago del Teide. When you have soaked up the atmosphere you will return to the buzz of the coast for a couple of nights before ending your trip on a high, for more mountain charm with a night in Spain’s highest village, Vilaflor. Set out on this fantastic self-guided hiking holiday and discover the many contrasts of Tenerife for yourself.
