Extreme sports in Tenerife to explore the island
Enjoying the waves with kitesurfing and windsurfing
One of the most attractive features of Tenerife is the variety of beaches it has, whose waves are an attraction for water sports. Furthermore, areas of the island such as El Médano and its constant wind make activities such as kitesurfing and windsurfing the main attraction.
Climbing in the Teide National Park
One of the extreme sports in Tenerife, par excellence, is rock climbing, especially on rock, and if you want to practise it in Tenerife, landscapes as impressive as those of the Teide National Park are an essential place to do it.
The best thing about this place is that it offers diverse routes for climbers of all levels, so beginners and experts have their place here. In order to live a unique experience in which to test the adrenaline, there are different walls such as the route of La Catedral and the roques de García that offers a height of 120 metres.
Canyoning and rappelling
Rappel and canyoning is one of the most special ways to discover the hidden and wild corners of Tenerife. The volcanic and rugged terrain of the island is perfect for extreme descents, admiring the beauty of this unique terrain and thrilling you with incomparable landscapes.
Diving and snorkelling
In the pursuit of adrenaline, there are always those who choose to live the adventure from the sea. The crystal clear waters of Tenerife offer the perfect environment to enjoy diving and discover the wealth of marine life such as reefs, turtles and many more impressive species.
If you are one of those who also want to experience activities at the limit but in a more guided way, Tenerife also offers options for beginners who want to get started in the world of adventure. Here are our main recommendations:
Glide along zip lines and discover the adventure in the air
For those who want to get out of the routine but don’t yet dare to try risky activities, there are others that are just as exciting and safer. Spending a day going up and down zip lines of a difficulty adapted to you is a perfect way to spend a different day surrounded by nature.
Jet ski racing
Enjoying the sea in Tenerife is without a doubt a must and if diving or swimming is not your strong point, enjoying a jet ski tour is a different way to discover the marine environment and enjoy a hidden side of the island.
