Safaris to Mount Teide, downhill bike riding, horse and camel riding and the bowling alley are also popular. Dotted along the long stretch of beaches in the south you will also find trampolines and inflatables.

Callao Salvaje is the ideal base to explore the island and surrounding ocean. A visit to Mount Teide National Park is not to be missed for its dramatic volcanic landscape full of craters and lava rivers plus its unique and endemic plant life. Take the cable car up close to the summit and enjoy the spectacular views from over 3,000 metres altitude. There are also a couple of visitors’ centres and a cafe at the cable car station. A definite must is an excursion by catamaran from Puerto Colón to see the local whales and dolphins!
