Family Adventures in Tenerife: Cliffs, Culture, and Connection

Eager to explore the diverse landscapes and rich history of Tenerife, I embarked on a family-friendly tour that promised majestic cliffs, ancient trees, and traditional villages. Join me as I share our unforgettable journey through this enchanting island.

Discovering the Wonders of Tenerife with My Kids

Our adventure began with a sense of excitement as we were picked up in the San Eugenio area. The sight of the minibus was a relief, as I always prefer smaller, more intimate tours, especially when traveling with my three children. Our guide, fluent in both English and German, was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a day filled with exploration and learning.

Our first stop was the breathtaking Los Gigantes and Puerto de Santiago. The cliffs were a sight to behold, towering majestically over the ocean. My kids were in awe, and I took the opportunity to teach them about the geological formations and the history of the area. It was a perfect blend of education and wonder, something I always strive for in our family travels.

A Journey Through History and Nature

As we traveled up the hills to Mirador Garachico, the views were nothing short of spectacular. The landscape seemed to tell a story of its own, and I encouraged my children to imagine the lives of the people who once inhabited these lands. The Mirador offered a perfect spot for a family photo, capturing the essence of our adventure.

Our next destination was Icod de los Vinos, home to the ancient Dragon Tree. This national monument was a highlight for my kids, who were fascinated by its age and the legends surrounding it. We took a leisurely walk through the town, soaking in the local culture and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. It was a chance for my children to see history come alive, and they were eager to learn more.

Embracing Culture and Relaxation

La Orotava was our next stop, and its charming streets offered a glimpse into traditional Canarian life. We explored the steep streets and visited the Victoria Garden, a serene spot where we could sit and admire the surroundings. It was a moment of relaxation amidst our busy day, and I cherished the opportunity to connect with my children in such a beautiful setting.

Our journey continued to Puerto de la Cruz, where we had some free time to explore. We strolled down to the shore, the stunning views providing a perfect backdrop for our family adventure. A quick stop at McDonald’s was a treat for the kids, a familiar comfort in a foreign land.

Finally, we made our way to Candelaria, where the beautiful church and Guanches sculptures left a lasting impression. The history and artistry were captivating, and I found myself planning a return visit to explore more. It was a fitting end to a day filled with discovery, learning, and family bonding.

This Tenerife Island Tour was more than just a tour; it was an opportunity to connect with my children, to teach them about the world, and to create memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend it to any family looking for a blend of adventure, education, and relaxation.
