About this tour
Explore Anaga's rugged terrain in northeastern Tenerife over five to six hours with a private driver and knowledgeable guide. This tour ventures into dense laurel forests, dramatic ridgelines, and coastal viewpoints that feel genuinely remote despite their proximity to the island's urban centres. You'll navigate winding mountain roads, walk amongst ancient vegetation, and discover why locals call this region timeless. Suitable for all fitness levels, though expect uneven paths and steep terrain in places.
Highlights
- Dense laurel forests unchanged since prehistoric times
- Panoramic mountain ridges overlooking the Atlantic
- Secluded coastal villages tucked into steep valleys
- Private vehicle access to otherwise isolated spots
- Expert local guide navigates hidden trails
- Varied ecosystems within a single afternoon
What to expect
Your guide will drive you through switchback roads towards higher elevations, stopping frequently to walk sections of forest trail. The vegetation grows denser and more primordial as you ascend—thick canopies, mossy trunks, and mist rolling through valleys create an otherworldly atmosphere. You'll reach windswept peaks with sweeping views, then descend towards fishing villages where life moves slowly. Paths range from paved to rocky and rooty. Bring a jumper; altitude and moisture make it cooler than lower Tenerife.
Good to know
Wear proper walking shoes with grip. Lunch isn't included; pack snacks or eat in a village cafe. Roads are winding; take motion sickness tablets if prone. Prams and infant seats available. No fixed itinerary—your guide adapts to weather and group pace.
