Things to do in Tenerife: 5 unforgettable experiences to enjoy on the island

Discover Tenerife through its best experiences

Tenerife offers much more than sunshine and beaches. The island has something for visitors looking for thrilling adventures, family activities, wildlife experiences or places rich in history. From major water parks to animal attractions and gardens featuring native plant species, there are plenty of ways to make your holiday special.

At WalaTickets, we have brought together five experiences you can book to explore Tenerife: Siam Park, Loro Parque, Jungle Park, Aqualand Costa Adeje and Parque del Drago. Each offers a different way to discover the island.

1. Siam Park: a day of water adventures in Costa Adeje

If you love water parks and exciting rides, Siam Park should be high on your list.

Located in Costa Adeje and inspired by the architecture and culture of Southeast Asia, the park offers attractions for different levels of thrill-seeking. Some of its best-known rides include Tower of Power, The Dragon, Singha and Kinnaree.

If you prefer a more relaxing experience, you can enjoy Mai Thai River, unwind on the white sandy beach at Siam Beach or have fun in the Wave Palace wave pool.

Families with younger children can also explore areas such as The Lost City, Sawasdee and Coco Beach, designed to make the day enjoyable for younger visitors.

A useful tip: if you are also planning to visit Loro Parque, check out the Twin Ticket, which allows you to visit both parks on separate days.

2. Loro Parque: discover animals from around the world

Located in Puerto de la Cruz in northern Tenerife, Loro Parque is one of the island’s major attractions and an especially interesting visit for families and wildlife enthusiasts.

Its facilities allow visitors to discover species such as penguins, gorillas, tigers, jaguars, dolphins and sea lions, as well as its famous collection of parrots.

The park combines habitats dedicated to different species with animal presentations and educational experiences. It also highlights its commitment to biodiversity conservation through international programmes and projects.

To make the most of your visit, it is a good idea to check the presentation schedules on arrival and plan your route around them.

A great way to plan your trip: the Loro Parque and Siam Park Twin Ticket allows you to visit both attractions on two separate days. The two parks cannot be visited on the same day, and tickets must be used within the period stated in their conditions.

3. Jungle Park: wildlife and nature in a tropical setting

Another way to discover Tenerife’s wildlife is Jungle Park, located in Arona. Its lush surroundings invite visitors to explore walking trails and discover a wide variety of animal species.

According to the information published on WalaTickets, the park is home to more than 500 animal species. During your visit, you can explore its aviaries and walk-through bird enclosures, discover reptiles and amphibians in the reptile house, and enjoy birds of prey and sea lion shows.

The park also features walking trails, viewpoints, picnic areas, restaurants and a children's play area.

It is an interesting choice for visitors who want to combine wildlife observation with a walk through a natural setting and activities for different members of the family.

4. Aqualand Costa Adeje: water fun for all ages

If you are looking for another refreshing activity in the south of Tenerife, Aqualand Costa Adeje offers a full day of water slides, aquatic attractions and relaxation.

The park has rides with different levels of intensity, from thrilling slides to children's areas designed for younger visitors.

Between rides, you can relax in the designated rest areas and make use of services such as Fast Pass, sun loungers and restaurants.

It is a great option for friends, couples and families, especially if you want to dedicate a day of your holiday to water-based activities.

5. Parque del Drago: nature and history in Icod de los Vinos

Not every Tenerife experience has to be about adrenaline. In Icod de los Vinos, you will find Parque del Drago, a natural and cultural attraction home to one of the Canary Islands’ best-known symbols: the Millennium Dragon Tree.

The visit gives you the opportunity to see this remarkable Dracaena draco and walk through gardens featuring native plant species from the Canary Islands.

You will also find a recreation of a Guanche cave, old wine presses, walking paths, viewpoints and rest areas. It is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to discover Tenerife’s natural and cultural heritage at a more relaxed pace.

What about Poema del Mar? An experience for another Canary Islands trip

Poema del Mar also appears on the WalaTickets destination page, but it is important to clarify that this aquarium is not in Tenerife. It is located at Muelle Sanapú in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

It offers a different experience for visitors to Gran Canaria, with areas dedicated to marine ecosystems, tropical species and a spectacular deep-water tank featuring a large panoramic viewing window.

We mention it as another WalaTickets experience in the Canary Islands, but not as an attraction to visit while staying in Tenerife.
