Tenerife · TENERIFE CANYONING TOURS
Good tenerife canyoning tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet guide Alexis at Casa Forestal, hike 45 minutes through forest and fire-affected ground, then learn the ropes before descending Los Arcos’ volcanic-ash walls. Expect several rappels, including a 20-metre drop, small groups of up to nine, and plenty of geology and flora along the way.
“What an adventure! We did a lot of different activities and this one was our favorite.”
Join guide Jorge for a six-hour, small-group canyoning trip in Tenerife’s Los Arcos. After a forest walk and safety briefing, you’ll complete eight rappels, including a 22-meter descent, among orange volcanic rock and moss. Gear, insurance, and photos are included.
“Jorge is a wonderful guide, and you can tell he's incredibly passionate about what he does. He made everyone feel very comfortable, and the whole experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend him!”
Meet at Mirador de La Bermeja at 9:30 am for a guided descent through La Orotava’s Los Arcos canyon area. Jorge and the Outdoor Activities Tenerife team provide safety training, equipment, and help through seven or eight rappels, with forest walks before and after.
“This experience was FANTASTIC! I'd like to do canyoneering of every trip from now on. Our guide was amazing, fun, knowledgable, and ensured everyone's safety. The pace of the hike and canyoneering moments was great and customizable to the group's needs. I'd definitely say you need some level of fitness and agility. And you absolutely need good hiking shoes.”
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 !”
Descend Tenerife ravines with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide on a half-day canyoning trip in Anaga Rural Park. You receive safety equipment, water, and a picnic, but must bring hiking shoes, a towel, and spare clothes. The activity costs $73 and requires good fitness.
“We were lucky that there were only two of us and we were able to concentrate fully on our tour. Bento Our guide was simply great. Very structured, precise and careful. We were able to work well together despite speaking different languages. A successful mixture of sympathetic action and adventure. Gladly again”
Pick a deck, a crater road or a town square.
