Itinerary
Day 1: Puerto de la Cruz
Arrive at any time.
Located off the coast of northwestern Africa the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago, are an Atlantic gem of white sand beaches, turquoise waters, rugged volcanic coastlines and lush mountains. Formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years past, Tenerife, the largest of the islands, is shadowed by the Mount Teide volcano.
Day 2: Puerto de la Cruz
Head north to Anaga Rural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Enjoy a guided hike through the ancient "Laurisilva" forest to the village of Chinamada where you can visit pre-historic cave houses. Return to Puerto de la Cruz for a free afternoon, opt to visit Sitio Litre botanical gardens or a local vineyard.
Day 3: Puerto de la Cruz
Set out on a hike in the Teno Rural Park from the mountainside village of Erjos. Walk along a stunning mountain ridge to Cruz de Gala on your way to the Bolico summit. You'll also be able to see great views of the neighbouring islands and the ancient volcanic landscape in the Masca Valley of Masca. You'll finish up for the day in the picturesque village of Masca before returning to Puerto de la Cruz.
Day 4: Puerto de la Cruz/Costa Adeje
Visit the colonial town of Orotava then hike through the volcanic caldera of Teide national park. Enjoy sweeping views of the park from the viewpoint at the summit of Samara. After continue on to the beach town of Costa Adeje.

Take a full free day to relax on the golden sand beaches Tenerife is admired for, wander the bustling promenade or opt for an excursion to the smaller island of La Gomera.

It was a good trip and great scenery, was different than I expected for a travel company. The last time I travelled with a company the optional excursions were brought up by the leader and organized by the company if we wanted to go ie transport (and we just paid the cost that day) there was no mention of the optional excursions at all. After the main itinerary was completed for the day

The accommodations were a bit lacking. Nicer hotels would move my rating up.

Overall happy but some of the meals that were supposed to be included ended up being rather insubstantial picnics. Also no support in booking the optional excursions.

I like the like-minded, easy-going en open-minded people that travel with G Adventures. Yes, it is expensive, there are cheaper ways of traveling but normally the CEO go the extra mile and the trips have great activities to offer.
