8 Days Island Life ๐ด Whale Watching Catamaran Tour ๐ณ , Natural Volcanic Pools ๐คฟ and Tenerife's National Parks Ready for a week full of adventures? Black sand beaches, volcanic terrain, natural pools, beautiful views, and traditional cuisine will await you! Not only that, you will visit Teide National Park where you can find the highest mountain in Spain (3715m), and also hop on a catamaran โต๏ธ for three hours. If we are lucky we will see dolphins and a local canary whale species ๐ณ. Due to the location of Tenerife (which is also the biggest island of the canary archipelago), it is home to a multitude of microclimates and that is why there are a lot of different things to see! ๐ Do not forget to bring your camera. You will shoot some great pictures! We will try to make a mix between walking through nature, visiting traditional places, and relaxing at the beach or natural pools. ๐ Our trip will start in the south, in Costa Adeje, the sunniest part of the island. You will find lots of beaches and a vivid nightlife! ๐ธ Afterward, we will head up north to the more authentic and greener part. Nature-wise definitely the place to be! ๐ด What's included: ๐ Accommodation (Hotels) with shared bedrooms (2 people per room-single beds) - Breakfast incl. ๐ Shuttle to Accommodation and back to the airport (Canary Shuttle Bus) ๐ Rental Car & Fuel ๐ Gondola ticket up & down El Teide ๐ณ Dolphin and Whale Watching Tour ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ A Local who will show you around ๐ฅ Picnic with local goods What is not included: โ๏ธ Flight Tickets ๐ฎ Lunch and Dinner Take in mind that we are working with nature, which means - the order of days will maybe vary a bit - but we will try to do all the activities as mentioned :) I will drive one of the cars - it would be great if some of you guys will drive with the second one.

Trip Itinerary
1
Costa Adeje
Day 1-3
๐ธ Welcome to this beautiful island ๐ธ Our first two nights we will stay close to airport south, in Costa Adeje. Only 5 minutes walk to the closest beach and near lots of restaurants, bars and parties. You will either sleep with one or two other people in the room - all of them have single beds. Since everyone will very likely arrive at different times, arrivals day will be mostly to walk around town, get to know each other and relax at the beach. ๐ If we feel like it, we can already enjoy our first sunset together in one of the rooftop bars close to our hotel. ๐ธ

Whale Watch Tenerife
Day 3
After getting some energy with the hotel's breakfast buffet, we will head down to Puerto Colon to start our Whale Watching Tour. We will sail on an exclusive catamaran for the next three hours, searching for canary whales and dolphins. Sometimes they are hard to separate, since some of the whales are only a bit bigger than the dolphins here. Bring your cameras, guys! ๐ธ After the boats tour we will have some time to relax and change and then head to a close by local beach to watch the sunset. ๐

Masca
Day 3
Today we are going to check-out at the first hotel and head north to the next one. On our way we will have some stops tho'. The first one will be the famous mountain village of Masca.
