Good santa cruz de tenerife tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend a day exploring Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s Palmetum, a 12-hectare botanical garden built on a former rubbish dump.

“Great to walk around with the family a welcome break for low cost”
At Macaronesian Divers in Santa Cruz, you learn scuba basics, practice with your instructor, then spend 30 to 45 minutes underwater at 6 meters. Small groups, patient guidance, photos, hot showers, and a drink make this a friendly first taste of the sea.
“We have a beginners dive session for my family Me and my two young daughters. They guide was Very attentive and took extra care with the Children whilst also looking after me. It was a Beautiful experience and we felt safe and Supported. Thanks you!”
Join guide Ángel for an easy 2.5-hour walk through Anaga’s ancient laurel forest near La Laguna. Expect fresh air, quiet trails, views, Canarian flora, local stories, and a snack. The route suits beginners, though jackets and proper walking shoes are wise.
“Great walking tour in Anaga with Angel. Learnt a lot about the area and enjoyed the shared information. It was nice to venture out on a trail that wasn't so popular, we almost had the trail to ourselves. Would highly recommend Angel for a wallkng tour in Anaga.”
Spend a full day seeing Tenerife’s capital, UNESCO-listed La Laguna, and Anaga’s mountain viewpoints. A multilingual guide, air-conditioned bus, and hotel pickup are included. You’ll have free time for Canarian lunch, but expect long transfers and brief stops in some places.
“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…”
Join Jorge and a small group for a five-hour dry canyoning trip in Vilaflor. After a short walk, you’ll rappel down basalt walls, learn several techniques, and return through Canary pine forest. The route suits beginners and can be adjusted to different ability levels.
“Une expérience incroyable ! Le canyon était magnifique et notre guide a vraiment su rendre cette journée inoubliable. Toujours souriant, rassurant et plein d’énergie, il a su créer une super ambiance tout en nous mettant en confiance à chaque étape. On a adoré le mélange parfait entre sensations fortes, nature et bonne humeur. Merci encore pour ce moment exceptionnel !”
Spend a full day exploring Tenerife’s capital, UNESCO-listed La Laguna, and Anaga Rural Park. You’ll travel by air-conditioned coach with an official Canary Islands guide, stopping at mountain viewpoints and possibly Taganana. Pickup is offered from selected resort areas, with lunch at your own cost.
“A terrific and varied day trip. First to lovely Santa Cruz to have a wander around for just over an hour. Then to historic La Laguna with its beautiful old mansions and old town. 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. Our guide, Peter, was terrific. Plenty of humour and with interesting insights into life on Tenerife and the history of the island. And our driver, Jesus, was an absolute marvel - negotiating narrow, winding roads with great skill. It was a…”
