Surfing and windsurfing on the island

Our island is perfect for experts in waves and for those who want to get started in this exciting sport. Windsurfing and surfing are practised all along the coast of Tenerife, from north to south. With a little skill and a lot of enthusiasm, you can make rapid progress if you let yourself be guided by the best professionals in the sector. We are going to recommend some of the best surf schools.

At the Mahalo Surf School they travel every day to the best sandy beaches in Tenerife to find the most spectacular waves. As they themselves say, you can enjoy European Hawaii by starting your surfing career, perfecting your techniques or training with the school’s excellent staff.

Open 365 days a year, Atlantik Surf is one of the main surfing references on the island. With a starting point in Puerto de la Cruz, they offer tours in search of the best waves, complete equipment, transport and activities for those who prefer bodyboarding.

Whale and dolphin watching

Another of the maritime attractions that can be found in Tenerife is whale watching. If you are a more relaxed person who likes plans with a little less physical activity, this is a very good option. Our island is the first European destination to be named a Whale Heritage Site, a designation that only Hervey Bay (Australia) and The Bluff (South Africa) had previously obtained.

Nearly 1.5 million people each year see pilot whales, dolphins, sperm whales, turtles and many other species that inhabit our seabed permanently or temporarily.
