What to expect
Dramatic landscapes and rugged, volcanic shores come as standard in Tenerife. But little is said about the rich agriculture the island offers. On this tour, you'll journey through the south for a glimpse into the island's culture and identity. You'll see how locally grown bananas go from farm to table, explore the lofty village of Vilaflor de Chasna and sample local wines. Ivan, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Vilaflor was once called Chasna, but when Captain Pedro de Bracamonte visited, he spotted a beautiful Guanche girl. “Vi la flor de Chasna,” he cried – meaning “I've seen the flower of Chasna” – and thereby coined the new name of the village.'
The dry climate and year-round sunshine make the Canaries a perfect place to grow bananas. This fruit is Tenerife's main export, reducing the carbon footprint by supplying the rest of Spain and beyond. We'll find out more on a tour of a local plantation, where you'll learn all about banana cultivation. There'll also be a chance to taste different varieties, as well as try products made from the bananas.
Next, we'll visit Vilaflor. Perched on the southern slope of Mount Teide volcano, the views down to the coast from 1,400 metres above sea level are wonderful. The village has an almost Alpine feel that differs from the tropical coastline – it has the largest pine forest in the Canaries on its doorstep. After a look around the village, we'll enjoy a tour and a tasting at an award-winning family-owned winery.

North West Tenerife Hidden Secrets Guided Tour with Transport
It's one pretty village after another on this exclusive tour in the rugged northwest of Tenerife. We'll drop in at a roll call of the island's must-visits. Christian, one of our local experts, says, ‘A guide shows you around the park in Icod de los Vinos and gives you the lowdown on its fascinating dragon tree, which is 20 metres tall.' Santiago del Teide, local speciality tasting and a trip to Teno Rural Park are also part of the line-up.First up is a pit stop in Santiago del Teide, a highland village of whitewashed homes. Then, in Icod de Los Vinos, you'll see up-close its centuries-old dragon tree. You'll also have free time to have a gander around the town. Garachico is next. Devastated by a 1706 volcanic eruption and rebuilt on its lava, it's been dubbed the ‘prettiest and unluckiest' place on the island. Its natural lava pools, guarded by a volcanic rock castle, draw bathers from all over the island.When it's time to take a break, there's a tasty local lunch, served in a family-run restaurant in a traditional finca. The afternoon sees you exploring the craggy peaks of Teno Rural Park. It's famed for its biodiversity but also serves as the larder for most of Tenerife's top-quality natural produce. You'll even get to try some locally made marmalades and jams, all produced with a minimum carbon footprint. Finally, round off the day in the ‘lost hamlet' of Masca. Precariously perched on a ridge overlooking a valley, it's one of Tenerife's most eye-catching spots.

Full Day Tenerife Tour with La Laguna and Lunch
Dusty and lunar-like in the south, green and mountainous in the north, Tenerife packs a continent into one island. Think quaint villages, stunning views and a local lunch on this full day experience. You'll visit the UNESCO-listed old town of La Laguna, drop into a bodega for lunch and explore two plantations. Arianne, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘Canarian bananas are smaller but thicker, and their peel has dark speckles. The pulp is yellower, and it should be eaten riper, which makes it sweeter.'First up is a visit to an aloe vera plantation. Here, you'll learn about the healing qualities – especially skincare – of this crop. Then it's on to La Laguna, arguably the prettiest town on the island. Throw in its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it makes for a real gem of a stop. Wander its poker-straight streets of pastel-coloured palaces and colonial-era churches and convents, or stop for a coffee in one of the cool tree-lined plazas. Taste local products such as marmalade and cheese in the weekly market and admire the town's famous flower displays.It's then on to a family-run bodega for a typical Canarian lunch surrounded by vintage bottles and aged barrels. All ingredients are seasonal and locally sourced to reduce the environmental impact. And it goes without saying that some of the bodega's wines will be served with the food.
