WHY GO?

Tenerife is a microcosm of incredible landscapes, where every route is unique:

  • The tropical forest in the north of the island, with ancient trees, the scent of lush greenery, and a special atmosphere.
  • A unique trail through a nature reserve leading to a mountain waterfall – a quiet oasis hidden in the mountains.
  • A hike up to the majestic Teide volcano, with its Martian landscapes that make you feel like you’re on another planet.

And as a bonus, this journey coincides with the Santa Cruz Carnival! It’s a true celebration of vibrant costumes, music, and dancing, held only once a year. So, we won’t just explore Tenerife but also dive into its culture!

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?

  • Hike in Barranco del Infierno: Nestled in the heart of Tenerife, the Barranco del Infierno hike is a thrilling adventure for nature enthusiasts. As you ascend through the rugged gorge, the landscape unfolds into a mesmerizing panorama of lush flora, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic cliffs. The trail weaves through narrow passages, offering a mix of challenge and awe-inspiring beauty. The Hike in Barranco del Infierno, translated as the "Ravine of Hell," contrasts its ominous name with the heavenly sights encountered along the way. It's a trek that beckons explorers to unravel the secrets of this enchanting ravine, promising an unforgettable journey through Tenerife's natural wonders.
  • Hike to Mount Teide & Teide National Park: The Hike to Mount Teide unveils an extraordinary blend of geological marvels and breathtaking vistas. As Spain's highest peak, the third-largest volcano in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lunar-like landscapes and unique flora. Teide National park is the focal point of Tenerife, Mount Teide offers hikers a surreal experience above the clouds. The trail winds through otherworldly landscapes, adorned with volcanic craters, vivid rock formations, and endemic flora. The ascent reveals panoramic views of the Atlantic, neighboring islands, and the surreal sea of clouds below. Beyond the physical challenge, this hike is a journey through the island's volcanic history, providing a profound connection with nature and a summit experience that crowns with a sunrise or sunset of unparalleled beauty.
  • Los Gigintes mountains: The towering cliffs of the Los Gigantes Mountains rising abruptly on Tenerife's western coast creates a dramatic and awe-inspiring sight. These colossal walls, reaching heights of over 600 meters, cast their shadows on the crystal-clear waters below. Their sheer faces, adorned with unique rock formations and vibrant flora, evoke a sense of wonder and admiration. The contrast between the rugged peaks and the serenity of the Atlantic Ocean forms a breathtaking backdrop, offering an ideal setting for hiking, boat tours, or simply soaking in the mesmerizing beauty of these monumental cliffs along the coastline.
  • Mount Teide Cable Car (optional & weather permitting):Offers a breathtaking ascent to the summit of Mount Teide, providing panoramic views of the island.
  • Anaga Rural Park: Offers an extensive network of well-marked hiking trails, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Trails lead through the forests, along the coastline, and into the heart of the Anaga Mountains. The park has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, recognizing its ecological importance, diverse ecosystems, and efforts for sustainable development. The park is home to a rich diversity of plant and animal species, including endemic species that are unique to the Canary Islands. Birdwatchers can spot various species in the park, and the ancient laurel forests contribute to its ecological significance.
  • Explore Santa Cruz de Tenerife: Santa Cruz de Tenerife is not only the administrative and political center of Tenerife but also a hub of cultural and recreational activities. The city combines modern infrastructure with historical charm, making it an attractive destination for visitors. The city is also home to one of the world's largest and most famous carnivalsthe Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is a vibrant and colorful celebration held annually before Lent, attracting visitors from around the globe.
  • Star gazing in Tenerife (Time permitting): Tenerife is one of the best destinations in the world for stargazing due to its clear skies, high altitude, and minimal light pollution. The island's location near the equator also allows you to see stars from both the northern and southern hemispheres. Note: This may involve an additional charge as we would be looking to organize it with a 3rd party.
  • Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife: This carnival is the largest event of this kind happening in the Canary Islands and in Spain as well. It is actually the second largest carnival in the world and it is considered by many to be the best carnival, with an amazing atmosphere and friendly street parties.

This is a great way to escape the city hustle for a day (or longer) and surround yourself with beautiful, calming nature. Our guide Elizabeth was friendly and knowledgeable about the trail. I also met some fun and interesting people along the way. Highly recommend – I’m already planning my next hike with them.

Van Gogh Hiking. Perfect bright sunny day walking at Auvers-sur-Oise by Garrett. More like a stroll. Very easy going. Wandered about the beautiful french village. Garrett had good stories on Van Gogh life in the village. Even brought sun flower for VG grave site. Garrett could be more attentive to all members of the group. Overall, a nice day paying respect to VG.

Wooooooooowwww!

What a trip! First time traveling with a group, and I couldn't possibly have had a better experience. Maddy was so kind and knowledgeable, and kept the activities moving at the perfect pace. Never a dull moment. The accommodation was spot on--location and vibe were perfect. We stayed in Alta, NW for the Northern Lights Trip, and boy did it deliver. It had it all--aurora borealis, wildlife (WHALES! Foxes, reindeer, sea otters, puffins), the scenic fjords, sea cliffs, and tundra. And of course, being able to share the experience with with a group wonderful people really made this a core memory. Same time next year? ✌️

During the 2023 Christmas time, I went to hike in Mallorca, and I had a great time. The scenery in Mallorca is very beautiful. Particularly, when hiking along the route, you can see beautiful mountains, beautiful Mediterranean Sea, and Spanish houses. The blue sky, the fresh air, the light, the buildings, the mountains, ... All the scenes made me feel very calm and comfortable. During the hiking route, we visited Spanish towns, ate Spanish food, enjoyed the beach of the Mediterranean, it’s such a rich hiking trip. And every night we tasted food from different countries, all are very delicious! I thank our guide, thank friends in the group, it’s a wonderful hiking trip!!!

My Finland Northern Lights trip was overall a good experience, made especially smooth by the support from the organising team. A special mention to Maddy, who coordinated the trip efficiently and was always responsive, and to our trip guide Karan, who was friendly, helpful, and ensured things ran well throughout.

The itinerary, however, could use some refinement. For example, the day trip to Santa Village felt a bit unnecessary and that time could have been better spent in Inari, which had more to offer. The last day also felt rushed—we didn’t get enough time at the museum, and the Gold Museum was unfortunately closed (though we still got to try gold panning, which was enjoyable). A slightly more balanced or even shorter itinerary would likely improve the overall experience.
