What to expect

Buckle up for an adventure across Tenerife with this full-day tour across the north. Lush greenery, rugged coastlines and historic charm characterise this side of the island, and with stops at La Orotava, the historic fishing port of Garachico and the island's famous Dragon Tree, you'll get a true Canarian experience.

Kick off your trip at Icod de los Vinos, home to the legendary Dragon Tree. Its ancient gnarled roots have seen more than a thousand years worth of history – it's pretty mind-blowing. After you've snapped some pics, the tour continues with a visit to the oldest town in the Canary Islands, La Orotava. Feel the history hanging in the air as you get a glimpse of authentic Canary Island architecture and its romantic balconies. And, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for Casa de lo Balcones.

After lunch, you'll swing by Puerto de la Cruz – one of the very first tourist destinations in the world – before taking in the wow-factor coastal views en route to Garachico. This former fishing village is hemmed between the sea and a cliff and the views will blow you away. You'll round off the day here, with free time on the cards to explore, soak up the sea breeze along the harbour or grab a coffee.

    Cette excursion fait découvrir une partie du Nord. Petite déception : il n’est pas mentionné avant l’excursion qu’il est possible de se baigner l’après-midi dans les piscines naturelles ce qui aurait été appréciable compte tenu de la chaleur. Coup de cœur pour la guide qui nous accompagnait, passionnée et passionnante !

    Trop de temps passé dans le magasin pour la dégustation. La visite payante du dragonnier le plus ancien de l'île est inutile. La visite de la casa de los balcones aurait été intéressante.

    L'hôtel, la chambre tout était parfait, le buffet varié. l'équipe d'animation Lookéa au top, Kamilia (notre Beyoncé), Nono, Charline, Andy, Marco, et Éloï toujours présents avec une énergie de folie. Manon et sa bienveillance permanente. Trop cool. Jai adoré l'excursion Tenerife Authentique avec Julie notre guide. Transferts aéroport-hôtel se sont bien passés..un peu loin.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Wine in the Canary Islands - a Sensory Experience

Sipping wine with views of the sun-drenched slopes where it was produced, you'll be immersed in the culture and cultivation of Canarian wines on this exclusive National Geographic Day Tour. Hear about the island's wine-making heritage and embrace the sights, smells, tastes, textures and sounds at a family-run winery as you try four vintages, paired with food at every stop along the senses.First, at La Casa del Vino, a 17th-century estate-turned-museum, you'll be welcomed with a glass of local sparkling wine and a rosquette – a Canarian pastry. Your guide will share the story of how savvy 16th-century Spanish growers planted European vines in the fertile, volcanic soil – catapulting Tenerife onto the global wine scene.Then, it's onto Bodegas El Lomo. See the garden, where rare grapes – almost extinct in Europe – continue to thrive, and sip wine, paired with a signature tapa from visionary chef, Jorge Bosch. The in-house wine specialist will take you through the key scents and stages to reveal a wine's origin in an aroma workshop with another signature tapa. Then, it's out to the patio for harvest snacks with textures of toasted gofio grains and a creamy local goat cheese, served with a fruity carbonic macerated wine. Your grand finale awakens your hearing. In a darkened room, try your final vintage and tapa and tune into how music affects your perception of wine.This is much more than a simple wine-tasting tour – it's a personal insight into how wine can stir the senses.
