Description

There is a side of Tenerife that few visitors ever see: the quiet towns of the north, where time seems to move more slowly. This tour takes you there.

We pick you up at your accommodation or at the nearest pickup point in the south of the island and travel by air-conditioned coach with a tourist guide throughout the route. We start with the climb to the Garachico viewpoint, with one of the most beautiful views of the island's north coast, before visiting the town of Buenavista del Norte. We continue to Los Silos, with a stop at Sibora beach to see its most curious corner: the skeleton of a whale by the sea, among unusual volcanic formations. Next, we visit a traditional banana plantation, where you will see up close one of the oldest crops in the Canary Islands and understand why the Canarian banana is so different from the rest.

We end the day in Garachico, one of the most charming towns in Tenerife, with free time to stroll through its streets, discover its most emblematic corners and have lunch on your own (lunch is not included), before returning to your accommodation.

Approximate duration: 7 hours, including the pickup round. The order of the visits may vary. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a light jacket, as the north of the island is usually cooler than the south.
