Tenerife Travel Guide: Top 10 Things To Do (4K)

[@tracibeacer670]

'The sea goes all the way round the island'

[@CaptainGlobal]

I don't think my "tongue-in-cheek" comment came through as it should have done! :)

[@DawidGlawdzin]

Plus it's not a sea mate. It's called North Atlantic Ocean ;)

[@voorloper]

Nice video however- If you mention culture, how could you forget La Laguna ( UNESCO World Heritage Site )?? The former capital of Tenerife after Garachico and before Sta. Cruz, with some of the oldest buildings / churches on the island, university city with an amazing nightlife plus, right behind you on Las Vistas Beach you have San Telmo, full of restaurants, pubs / open-air clubs which are definitely safer than Las Verónicas.

[@MrBigPauly1]

For another culture visit i recomend La Laguna (I’m from Santa Cruz, but i think it’s worth visiting, the houses are really pretty there, the only problem is, it’s always cloudy XD)

[@topopops]

what ever next, wet water.

[@kezia-lemonthorne2507]

I'm from Tenerife, and I approve this video. And if you allow me to add a suggestion, Los Gigantes, Bajamar and La Laguna are worth the visit.

[@lily-yd6sf]

Katia González Ledesma I'm from El Hierro. And you are so right. Beautiful!

[@elvirachinea8910]

Agree... y Puerto De la Cruz.... :-)

[@kasiamuzyczna]

Katia, I envy. I love Tenerife.

[@mikkeljrgensen3850]

Vivi en la laguna por una época corta, y me interesa: ¿Que hay acá? Normalmente me subí hasta el puerto caminando, viendo los atracciones y también en centro de la ciudad de Santa Cruz. Los parques que hay más arriba me encantan, claramente, pero.. ¿que hay que tenemos que ver en la laguna más encima de la vista del altitud?

[@rahilarshad2456]

What are the local transports to visit those? And how much it cost?

[@simonsmith5]

Did 3 weeks work experience there as (part of my college course in Ireland ) I worked there on the very boat you showed 3min ...stayed in los christianos ...I absolutely loved it there ....pure bliss

[@stephencooper1266]

Brilliant video. Ive been here 7 times now, 8 in a few weeks. I love the place and hopefully one day will live here, its the only place on this planet that ive been to and felt at home, i hate having to leave. Thanks for this video, it showed me a couple of places i havent been to, will hopefully get to see them this time.

[@viktoriasteffen1556]

I would add one more point, watching the Sunset and wehen it gets dark the stars fromm Teide ist Just amazing! We habe never seen so many stars before! Just mesmerizing!

[@TheHowarthGames67858]

Siam park definitely worth its price of a ticket, best water park I've been too

[@bc029]

Jammyplays13 same it's so epic did you go on the tower of power? I did!

[@jenxkjquartuiopoquryzxmnv4287]

Jammyplays13 ikr

[@danielgraham5199]

Yeah definitely really recommended

[@Bymade27]

I live tenerife

[@jakecordina563]

We went there for free it came with our hotel and Loro parque

[@cjm081]

Haha. "The sea goes all the way around the island". I don't know why this made me laugh so hard.

[@mariamorejon2670]

I know why!!!!

[@drpepperr]

Because its a ridiculous statement. What a moron.

[@f1baby89]

Some people may need informing 🤣🤣

[@queba9739]

😂😂😂😂

[@royleon3525]

Two memorable items you missed Capt. A star gazing tour and meal on Mt. Teide. The knowledgeable guide showed us how to recognise and read the stars. It was breathtaking and a World Heritage site. Be warned it is VERY VERY cold up there at night, even in summer. 2nd was a visit to the Pyramids of Guimar. A site found and developed by the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. Just wonderful.

[@tahliah6691]

Los Cristianos alllll the way.... am in Tenerife watching this.... we did Siam Park.... Icod....Masca..... Mount Tiède...... karting..... will definitely be back......for Siam Park And the submarine trip

[@petrfirosman3524]

I was there in 2016 .. I visited Los Cristianos, El Medano, Las Americas, Costa del Silencio, Siam Park and of course Teide. Tenerife is beautiful and I will definitely go there again in a few years.

[@caryslara1313]

I've been to Tenerife 11 times and golf del sur is one of the best places to stay you actually can't hear the planes in most hotels obviously check on trip advisor first and has some of my favourite restaurants on the island the square is lovely at night very lively in fact and entertainment all round not too busy but enough people to give the place a bit of an atmosphere

[@smudgy264]

Travel on tuesday. Watching this to get myself hyped

[@JL-nk1pc]

This is like them 90's 00s holiday programmes wish you were here etc. Well done.

[@alrightydave]

I lived in Los Gigantes, Tenerife for 6 years and I got to agree this island is unique and is a must visit.

[@CaptainGlobal]

AlrightyDave I love Los Gigantes... I need to make a follow up video and include it!

[@ellencarter6938]

This is amazing because I'm going Tenerife on Friday its amazing

[@whocaresyo]

Drove through Masca a few days ago with a rental Camaro... I don't think I was in so much stress in quite some time. Once you start going there, forget about turning back as roads are seriously narrow! and yes, the view is simply breathtaking. When going to Teide, use the strongest sunscreen as the sun is quite ruthless in there and use it liberally. Had the worst sunburn of my life and it was followed by a sun poisoning! Now I'm staying inside until it all calms down and off to scuba dive and to Siam's park!

[@DiggingNorway]

The sea goes all around the island. Extraordinary.

[@FuquarProductions]

6:19 Yes it is protected, but you can go to the top of El Teide you just have to get a permit ahead of time. They only allow about 200 people a day to go to the peak. You have to request a permit via their website in order to get to the top, do this at least 60 days ahead of time, otherwise you will not get a chance.

[@fuchykoma]

Finally a very good video, normally they just talk about clubbing and Loro Park. Very welldone mate! Thanks for show that my place is not just for partying

[@mariangel9296]

I would also recommend going to puerto de la cruz, its an hour away from the south of the island but it has great beaches and Loro Parque which if you are into it, its one of the best zoos in the world. The owner of Loro Parque and Siam Park is the same so sometimes there are discounts if you go to one of them.

[@lol-qk4mc]

Athena1939 don’t go to Loro parque it’s the worst place on the island !!

[@Mistysmudge1]

Los Gigantes should be on this list, absolutely breathtaking! Great vid! Love Tenerife

[@chynawitch2000]

I was hanging in the balance about whether to go to Portugal or Tenerife and your video has really helped sell Tenerife to me!

[@karinjanssen9871]

I felt in love with the Island last month. Going back as soon as possible to Costa Adeje

[@s1xro]

Dude this is so professionally done, you have a great presentation voice too!

[@CaptainGlobal]

siyes Thank You! Love your Lisbon vid too... I'm off there in June :)

[@michaelkenny1326]

iamsiyes ,

[@katiewerthvideography7337]

This is a great travel guide. It helped me a lot with my travel plans for our trip to Tenerife. Therefore, thank you! We had a fun trip to Tenerife.

[@CaptainGlobal]

Katie Thank you! Really nice of you to say :)

[@Relef0015]

It's very interesting to actually see the tourists' (at least form my point of view lol) takes on Tenerife. The island being "clubs, bars and all-inclusive resorts" part was very much expected (also, funny to hear), and it summarizes pretty well what the southern part of Tenerife actually is. But if you find yourselves adventurous enough and/or are curious about life in the northern parts, then your should definetly stop by places from Santa Cruz/La Laguna onwards. There's where you'll find the less touristy villages and you'll get a grasp of how most of us actually live. Anyways, I know the video it's from years ago, but I just wanted to give my thumbs up to such a well made summary overall. Cheers from Tacoronte!

[@ivahardy4885]

I love it "the sea goes all the way around the island"

[@BrunoKalix]

Excellent video, thank you! Short, concise and informative. We are really looking forward to Tenerife to break the winter.

[@thealbertodornerproject205]

A lot of good suggestions here! Our guests especially enjoy Garachico, Masca and the whale watching which you mention here.

[@diehardsalfordreddevilfans3013]

The most professional presenter I’ve ever seen anywhere on you tube!

[@CaptainGlobal]

Wow - Thanks!

[@babyblue7283]

Probably the best presenter ive seen on these vids! Planning on going to tenerife next month December 2019🙌🙌

[@CaptainGlobal]

Thank you! I hope you have a great trip!

[@MarcellinusVD]

Great video, been 4 times to Tenerife and totally agree with your experience. You can go to the very top of Teide but need an authorisation, which is free but need to be asked long in advance. Or you can hike early, maybe stay overnight in the refuge and then before 9am you don't need one. Have fun !

[@Albertotiramillas]

Thank you very much for promoting our island!!!

[@eve78944]

Lovely video, I spent entire winter in tenerife

[@albertososa8166]

You would include La Orotava and La Laguna. These cities are really beautifull where you could see traditional architecture and local gastronomy.

[@SaurinBShah]

Garachicos have amazing natural swimming pools, can't miss those

[@angelallarena1259]

Garachico, es casi lo ultimo del norte, después queda la punta de teno. Es muy bonita. Gracias!!

[@For91Days]

We just arrived on Tenerife for our next For91days ... staying for 3 month .. thank you for this awesome video.

[@franciscojavierbritonazco5489]

Fantastic job on my island. It is shown than Tenerife is more than sun and beaches. You forgot to mention San Cristóbal de La Laguna (World Heritage) and La Orotava which are two amazing towns. Also, I would add to visit Los Gigantes (cliffs) among other superb places the tourist can find in the island. Anyway great video!! thank you very much!!

[@zeolovisio7028]

I love this island , Siam parc is so cool ,and los christianos is so beautiful 😻😻❤

[@cucumbonger]

Very well presented and professional looking vlog! Taking the family to costa adeje next July and will definitely take your advice and hire a car :)

[@CaptainGlobal]

Thank you! I love Adele too - have a great holiday!

[@jychevalier]

Very nice! I booked my summer holidays for Tenerife last Sunday, can't wait to be there! Your video is really great, nice shots, not too short, not too long, really pleasant to watch. Super-nice editing job. Just subscribed :-). Cheers!

[@CaptainGlobal]

Jérémie Chevalier thanks for the compliment! Really appreciate it :)

[@StevenPurdy88]

Excellent delivery and production.

[@MrBonnuus]

We just got back last week, stayed in the south, and in Santa Cruz, both great. Park Teide is stunning, visited a banana plantation which was interesting. Life is not expensive, and the climate is quite different from the Mediterranean. La Laguna is a nice town too. We'll surely be back. Your video brings back a lot of good memories.

[@paulopie1541]

Good video. I have met Brits who after visiting said exactly that. "But it's just bars and hotels" and even "What volcano? I didn't see any volcano"

[@russkemp1358]

really great video. the best I've come across so far, telling me what I need to know.

[@patsadventures6381]

Great video and outstanding content. I have been there a couple times on Transatlantic cruises and now looking to go back and spend some time there. Thanks! (I subscribed)

[@CaptainGlobal]

Thank you! I'm glad you plan to go back!

[@Walshy63]

I just got back from Tenerife 2 days ago Stayed at Los cristianos at the Torres DEL sol apartments Love it their as it’s quite central and literally 2 min from the beach and pasao Definitely my fav place for a holiday !!!!

[@FranciscoGonzalez-pv9tu]

que excelente vídeo después de verlo no me quedó otra opción que suscribirme a tu canal.

[@irishgar]

Great video, thanks for posting. Oh, and 'The sea goes all the way round the island'. Classic!!!!

[@OpinadorPerfecto]

Tenerife 4K? Chacho! Chiquito homenaje! Jajaja

[@araffaelegmw]

I’m Travelling to Tenerife for the 1st time tomorrow. This helps me understand where to go and what to do, a very well made and informative video 😉👍

[@CaptainGlobal]

adriano raffaele Thank you! Have a lovely trip.

[@araffaelegmw]

@@CaptainGlobal can't wait to visit. I've got a ticket for Siam park too which looks amazing.thanks 😀 Ps have you any recomendations about how to get to Siam park as I hear it gets very busy. Someone mentioned a free bus?? I'm staying in Los Cristiano's so not sure what's best. Any help would be much appreciated.

[@CaptainGlobal]

You're going at a good time of year which should be a little quieter. There is a free bus from Los Cristianos. I believe it goes from the bus station, but I may be wrong. You should be able to ask any person selling excursions when you arrive (You'll see a few of them!) and they will tell you.

[@stephencooper1266]

Home is where the heart is and i left mine there many years ago. Ive been to quite a few different countrys but nothing compares to Tenerife, the only place on this planet that i want to live. One day, hopefully

[@mtlds85]

You are a life saviour! Wouldn't go there but I changed my mind thanks to your video.

[@MightyMike888]

BRILLIANT mate , absolutely hands on the BEST promotion video I have seen about Tenerife , I feel lucky to live on this Paradise Island . I am in the Holiday industry my self and this I will show to All Brits ,because unfortunately they normally just stay at or around the hotel and dont seem to want to see anything else lol . lets hope this video will change there minds :-)

[@CaptainGlobal]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I love Tenerife, and ALWAYS try and tell people to get in a car and go and explore the island. There's so much to see - even more than I could fit in this video :)

[@humairamakda8455]

Captain Global should have made a point about driving on the road to masca - that's quite narrow and might not be for the less confident drivers

[@MikeHoltackers]

what hotel? sounds like one worth to go to with people like you working there! :D

[@Johnburgessful]

Good and informative insight to Tenerife.....Very professionally done as well...

[@liamgbooth]

Great video. I burst out laughing when you said "The sea goes right around the island" 3:00 though 😂

[@esmee9586]

Loooove the video. Really can't wait now to go back for the 4th time in August!

Coach trip to Masca is an experience on its own... Not for faint hearted! :) it's amazing though

[@Pearlbrandy1]

Love it been going there since 1999 got a timeshare at Hollywood mirage los cristanos brought in England had no problems at all

[@lucyneary9220]

I just came back from Tenerife last week and I lived it was there for about 2-3 weeks I stayed at Los Cristianas.

[@jennand1994]

What a fab video!😄It's great to see the north of the island getting a shout out...Places like Garachico and Icod are just so beautiful - while in the north, it is definitely worth stopping off in smaller villages like La Victoria, Santa Ursula and Tegueste as well as La Laguna where some of the best food on the island is and great wine! And I agree, jump on a boat and explore the other islands if you can. La Gomera and La Palma will not disappoint💕

[@joshuahaley5164]

Water park and Teide are a must, make sure cable car is running before driving up the mountain. Absolutely no worries about bars if you are 16+!

[@cameronjam3833]

Travelling from Lincoln to Tenerife is an awful long time journey. It was worth the time.

miguel erb so beautiful!! Can’t wait to visit soon

[@rahilarshad2456]

What are the local transports to visit those? And how much it cost?

[@jennyblue42]

@@rahilarshad2456 The best way to get around is by using the bus, it's called Titsa and you can buy a 10+ card you can recharge, plus you will pay less then. You may not need this info anymore but maybe someone else will xD One way across the island from Costa Adeje to Santa Cruz only costs about 6 euros then. And that's one of the more expensive routes!

It's a shithole

[@Tenerifemagazine]

Great video! Siam Park is definitely worth a visit along with Teide National Park.

[@laxten9686]

Nice round up of Tenerife, I love it there two. If you do want to go to the very top of Teide, you can, apply for a permit (limited number, book early) on the national park website.

[@oscarmarreroengstrom6115]

La Laguna is also worth a visit if you're looking for something different trom Santa Cruz and are on the north side of the island :)

[@CaptainGlobal]

Emanuel Engström Great tip! I love La Laguna too.

Keep in mind the weather there is not always sunny. Just in case someone is expecting good weather in the whole island 🏝I live here btw

Nice video! I'm going in July for 10 days. Hoping its a good trip with my fiancée as she booked it all and I've never been so I'm trusting her! Looks like there is plenty to do so I'm really looking forward to it!

[@agustinherrera1242]

I'm living in Tenerife and i think that the north of the Island is a good place to visit too!! There are so many little towns where you can go for a walk and discover new places. In Puerto de la Cruz (a town in the north of the island) you can enjoy the sun 90% of the time in a year. There are so many beaches like Punta Brava, Martiánez... And also you can go to Lago Martiánez, a place with so many swimming pools created by a famous artist of Canary Island!!! In Puerto de la Cruz you can also find one of the best zoo's in the world: Loro Park. Here you can enjoy seeing the animals and the shows that they offers you.

[@mugurelvitca5347]

My grandparents live in tenerife and I've been to nearly all the places on your top 10 list

It's been years since I went to Tenerife! I had such a great time. I was 8 at the time but I LOVED IT! I'm going again next year YAS! So it's been 7 years as of now that I went. I'm either going to be Los Cristianos or Las Americas but it's probably going to be Las Americas. Which I am happy with cause that place is awesome! Anyway, thanks for this guide!

You can go to the top of Tiede, you just need a permit, which Spanish people can get or with a tour guide. They only do it in certain languages in certain days though

[@Ozymandias1]

I went to Playa Las Americas this June and didn't have the drunk youngsters doing crazy things experience. It was actually quite nice. But maybe it gets crazier in the high season. I had cheap lodgings, a cheap flight and good food and drink for cheap prices with good entertainment (live artists everywhere and you could try your hand at karaoke as well). And did some tours (El Teide/La Gomera) and a boat trip for reduced prices. There was this nice Spanish lady on the Av. Santiago Piug who sold them cheaper than other booking offices.

[@hatofflab]

Great video - thanks for sharing! I'm just planning my first ever trip to the Canary Islands and was looking for some tips as to which island I should go to and I think I know now :).
