Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.

Day 1 - Costa Adeje
Hola! Welcome to the Canary Islands. Your adventure starts in Costa Adeje – a coastal town in Tenerife. You’ll kick off with a welcome meeting at 6 pm, where you’ll get to know your new travel companions and local leader. If you arrive early, maybe relax on Playa del Duque, take a stroll along the scenic promenade or even put your swimwear on and enjoy the nearby water park – Siam Park. Later this evening, maybe head to a local restaurant for dinner and enjoy some fresh seafood or traditional Canarian cuisine with your group.
Day 2 - Costa Adeje
Set out on a guided hike through Anaga National Park. Explore the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is known for its ancient forests, dramatic ravines and rugged coastlines. After your hike, enjoy an authentic Canarian lunch at a local Guachinche – a rustic, family-run eatery typically found in northern Tenerife. This afternoon head back to your accommodation in Costa Adeje.
Day 3 - Costa Adeje
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.
Day 4 - Costa Adeje
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.
Day 5 - Costa Adeje
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.
Day 6 - Costa Adeje
Get ready for your final day hiking through Tenerife. Today you’ll hike the moon-like landscape at Paisaje Lunar (Vilaflor Lunar Landscape). Begin your hike in the highest village in Spain, Vilaflor. 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. Get your camera ready to capture the view of Paisaje Lunar – a surreal landscape of eroded volcanic formations that are often said to look like fairy chimneys. Tonight, maybe head out for dinner with your group and celebrate the end of a great trip.
Day 7 - Costa Adeje
With no activities planned after breakfast, you’re free to leave at any time. If you’d like to extend your stay in Costa Adeje, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time to organise additional accommodation.
