From theme and water parks to volcanoes and National Parks, this is certainly an island worth exploring.

Getting around isn’t as difficult as you might think, and there are plenty of helpful English-speaking representatives who can help you out if you’re a bit stuck with the lingo, too. So, here’s our quick rundown on how to get around the island with Tenerife map.

By Car

Need a pick up at the south airport? What better way to do it than by car? You can rent a car on your own and skip the long, boring holiday transfer bus by heading straight to your hotel. In fact, we bet that by the time the transfer bus is just pulling up outside your resort, you’ll be unpacked and lazing by the pool with a glass of something cool and refreshing. Then, you can set off early doors the next morning in your car to discover some of the island’s best attractions.

By Bus

It’s a bit more laborious than car hire, but Tenerife does have a network of bus routes for ferrying visitors to and from the main sites. The Wiki Travel page on Tenerife recommends TITSA buses and also a BONO travel card, should you intend to spend a lot of time travelling by bus.

There are some superb islands to visit around Tenerife, so why not build a bit of island-hopping into your travel itinerary? You can enquire about ferry services going to Gran Canaria from Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, and to the beautiful little island of La Gomera from Los Cristianos, in the south. In particular, La Gomera is a lovely spot that’s like one big nature reserve, so it’s well worth a day trip (don’t forget your camera!)

Short of having a personal chauffeur for the week, car hire is widely considered the best way to get around Tenerife and to explore its wonderful attractions. Find out more about car hire in Tenerife and reserve your vehicle online, at Tenerifecarhire.com.

Best Tenerife Theme Parks: Siam Park, Loro Parque y más

Heading to Tenerife this year? Whether you’ve got the kids in tow and you’re looking for some fun days out, or you fancy something a little bit different from the pool and the beach, there are plenty of first-rate attractions on offer, for example, Tenerife theme parks.

Siam Park Tenerife

Siam Park

Based near Costa Adeje, Siam Park is one of the largest water parks in Europe and a hugely popular spot with all sorts of different rides, slides, fountains, pools and attractions for all ages. There’s the Tower of Power, The Dragon and the Mekong Rapids to name just a few, along with a wave pool and a lazy river. Have fun in the splash-tastic environment of Siam Park or find a quiet spot, which given its size are quite plentiful, and enjoy a bite to eat with a glass of something cool and refreshing. Thanks to its location in the south of the island it’s easily accessible, so you can use public transport or drive there with a hire car. Book through TenerifeCarHire.com and you’ll find a hire point based in Tenerife South Airport, among others.

Loro Parque Tenerife

Loro Parque

This popular wildlife centre is based in the north of Tenerife, near Puerto de la Cruz. It’s home to a vast array of animals including gorillas and chimps, tigers, jaguars, alligators, sea lions and wonderful sea creatures including tiny sea horses and huge orca whales. You’ll also find many wonderful birds including rainbow-coloured parrots, flamingos and pelicans.

Jungle Park Tenerife

Jungle Park

Jungle Park, located near Los Cristianos, is home to a vast jungle – over 75,000 metre square in total. It’s criss-crossed with tunnels, bridges, walkways and waterfalls, dotted with lagoons and peppered with caves. Exotic and colourful birds of various species live here, including eagles, falcons and flamingos, along with other fantastic creatures including lemurs and monkeys.

Many of the most popular theme parks can be reached by public transport, but naturally, we think car hire is the best way to get around and explore everything that Tenerife has to offer – be it waterslides, exotic jungles or bright and colourful parrots!
