2.Hiking Tour in Anaga Mountains & Enchanted Forest

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 193 reviews · from $146Top rated

Join guide Alex for a seven-hour Anaga adventure from southeast Tenerife. You’ll walk about 7 km through laurel forest, along a water channel, past caves, and across mountain trails with Atlantic views. Transfers, picnic food, safety gear, and 20 to 40 tour photos are included.

“Alex was a superb guide. Informative, entertaining and well organised and always there to lend a hand when needed. I would say the hike was challenging in parts and if you’re afraid of heights we were very close to the edge at times but the views were worth it. We discovered parts of the mountains that I don’t think you’d see if you hiked alone and it showed a completely different side to the north of the island that I didn’t even know existed. I would definitely recommend this tour 100% and I think it might of been my highlight to my holiday.Read more”

Ready to see guanche dwellings from the past, charming villages and farms, stooping slopes and endemic species both in arid lands and old, lush laurisilva forest? Don' t miss this when you are in Tenerife! Bring a camera, good shoes and a jacket.”

“Coach - comfortable & clean but chilly (air con) Too many pick ups (took around 1.5 hrs). Great if you're new to Tenerife as get to have a look around otherwise very boring. For such a long trip, most of it spent in the coach, the coach needed a toilet or a toilet stop off. We'd been out of our apartment since 07:50 and didn't reach the African market til around 11:00. We only got 30 mins at the market, 20 mins spent queuing for the toilet. Mostly with fellow coach people. Guide was pleasant but softly spoken so we couldn't hear anything she said whilst on the tours. Reached…”

Followed by a trip through the mountains with stupendous scenery, finally arriving at tiny Taganama on the beach where we could have lunch if we wanted it. Then the drive back south via San Andres.
