Wet ´n´Wild

Whale-watching

A visit to Tenerife represents a very special opportunity to view these magnificent mammals in the wild as this is one of the few places in the world with a resident pod of short-finned pilot whales.  Although these whales inhabit a large zone of temperate and tropical waters of the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, resident populations are rare, so this opportunity is not to be missed

Certain authorised boats are allowed to take members of the public to view the whales as they rise to the surface for air.  There are a variety of styles of boat from which to choose, departing from the harbours of Puerto Colon and Los Cristianos

Trips can be of 2, 3 or 5 hours duration and may include lunch and a further sightseeing destination such as Los Gigantes or Masca.  All but the 2 hour trips include an option to cool off in the water with a splash-about, swim or snorkel

Boats range from economy to luxury, pirate ship to catamaran, motor boat or yacht.  On the trip you can practice your sailing skills, top up your tan, learn more about the wildlife you are about to observe or choose a trip specifically catering for kids – let us know your preferences and we will advise you accordingly

Submarine Safari

How about this for another rare opportunity? Experience a dive on board a real submarine and see the underwater world of Tenerife without getting wet!  Onboard the submarine you will be allocated your personal seat, right in front of a large viewing port, ensuring a great view of the outside underwater world.  Each view port has its own TV monitor giving you alternative viewing angles, along with a digital display panel giving continuous information about the submarine. Including boarding and disembarking each trip takes an hour

Sailing or cruising

Charter your own boat, with or without skipper (subject to license) for anything from 2 hours to an overnight trip to La Gomera.  Avoid the crowds and have the luxury of a boat to yourself and your family or friends

Siam Park

No description of things to do in Tenerife could possibly be complete without a mention of Siam Park – A huge oriental-themed water park located in Playa de Las Americas, right by the dive centre

Tickets cost €34 no matter where you buy them, but buying in advance means avoiding long queues at the door, so this is definitely recommended (yes, we can do this for you!)

This is a fantastic day out for kids and adults alike – the only exception being families with infants or babies may find that the attractions here can be a little too adventurous for their little ones
