You’ll kick off with a welcome meeting at 6 pm, where you’ll get to know your new travel companions and local leader.

Explore the northwest of Tenerife on a guided hike through Teno Rural Park. This protected park has deep valleys and tall cliffs that drop into the Atlantic Ocean. Its volcanic origins and diverse microclimates contribute to its rich biodiversity and landscapes. After hiking, drive to the town of Icod de los Vinos. This small town is known for its local wine, historic streets and ancient dragon tree. Finish your day with a relaxing swim at El Caleton in the town of Garachico. These natural pools were formed by ancient lava flows that met the Atlantic Ocean. Then, head back to your accommodation in Costa Adeje for the night.

Journey through the heart of Tenerife on your Volcan Samara guided hike in Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to Spain’s highest peak, Teide. Located in the centre of the island, this park offers a landscape of volcanic craters, petrified lava flows and rock formations that resemble the surface of another planet. Samara’s circular trail winds through pine forests and past lava fields offering panoramic views of Tiede, Pico Viejo and the Atlantic Ocean. But Tenerife isn’t just about volcanoes — it’s also one of the world’s largest producers of Canarian bananas. After your hike, visit a nearby banana plantation and learn about this local tradition.

Today is a free day to rest. Enjoy the beach, relax and take in all that Costa Adeje has to offer (your leader will have all the best spots ready). Maybe set out on a guided hike to Barranco del Infierno or take the ferry to the small island of La Gomera. This island is a lesser-known place combining deep ravines, ancient forests and authentic Canarian culture.

From here, follow the trail to Camino Real de Chasna – a path that once connected the northern and southern parts of the island. As you ascend through the pine forest, you will reach the Los Escurriales viewpoint.
