Tenerife · TENERIFE HIKING TRAILS
Laurel forest in the north, lava in the middle, a peak trail that needs paperwork. These 15 guided walks cover the range, with distances, ascent, pickup points and an honest word on the ones that are harder than they sound.
Ride the Teide cable car, hike 3 hours with an official guide, and see Spain’s highest summit plus crater views from Tenerife.

Hike Tenerife’s Anaga Mountains in a small group, through the misty Enchanted Forest, with big ocean and Teide views plus a scenic picnic.
“This was the best activity of my trip! Alex picked everybody up and guided the whole hike perfectly. The trail was a great mix of climbs, descents, and easier walking. He told fun stories, shared tips about other spots on Tenerife, and helped out whenever it got tricky. Lunch was in a magical place, and the views along the way were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended!”
Tenerife hike above Masca through enchanted forests and Teide viewpoints with hotel pickup, a picnic, trekking poles, and digital photos.
“The trip was extremely well organised with great communication before hand. Massimo collected us at the pick up point on time and was an excellent guide thoughout. He was very friendly and knowlegable, pointing out lots of interesting plants and fungi along the way. He showed consideration for everyone in our fairly large group and even carried all our snacks and some extra clothing (as it was very cold on the hike today). We had a wonderful adventure exploring the hills and forest above Masca. The views of Mount Teide and surrounding area were amazing. I would highly recomend this trip and the company for guided hikes in Tenerife”
A guided 5 km descent through Barranco de Masca, then a boat ride beneath Los Gigantes cliffs, with transport and permits included.
“It was really great treking and very enjoyable half day trip. It is moderately difficult but rather short, 5 km long descent. We were taken by taxi to Masca and after 15 min short break we went down through the valley. It is very picturesqe and beautiful. Eduardo was great, friendly and share the knowledge about Masca gorge with our group. We were taken back by boat to Puerto de Santiago. Be amazed and enjoy that trek. Thank you Eduardo.”

Guided 3.5-hour hike in Tenerife’s Anaga laurel forest to Roque de Taborno, plus a local food tasting for $65.
“Aaron was our guide and he was terrific. He has great knowledge of the area and showed us things we wouldn’t have known about. He quickly changed between Spanish and English since we had a mixed group. He also pointed out lots of plants in the wild that are daily used in cooking. We had a great tasting over lunch in a local restaurant as well. We would recommend Aaron and the Anaga hike! The return is uphill but Aaron set a relaxed pace that allowed our group to complete the hike with ease.”
3-hour guided hike in Anaga Rural Park through Tenerife’s laurel forest on the Forest of Enigmas trail, from $23.
“Adrian was a great guide. Entertaining and informative, very aware of setting the right pace for our mixed group of all ages and fitness levels. The walk was generally not too difficult with a few rough steps and a section at the end that was a little more challenging. It was really interesting to learn about the trees and wildlife that live in the forest and its unique nature. Adrian clearly loves the forest and has lots of local knowledge. He was happy to answer questions and took time to ensure he engaged with all of his group. We would highly recommend this tour. One tip is arrive early, when…”

Guided Masca Gorge descent with a small group, certified multilingual guide, plus a water taxi to Los Gigantes and big cliff views.
“Marie was an exceptional guide, always explaining things and communicating clearly. I’ve learned a lot about the plant life and geological phenomena in Masca gorge on this trip. Marie didn’t hurry anyone, but was setting a good pace, since there were other people scheduled after our own group. Accordingly, we didn’t see many people on the hike, which added to the atmosphere. Lots of time for taking pictures. Since it is now mandatory to use public busses, you’re dependent on them arriving on time, but that’s no fault of the agency. We’ve seen an amazing natural scenery and it was well worth our time.”
Hike above Masca through four Tenerife microclimates, from pines to cloud-soft laurel forest, with hotel pickup and a picnic.
“This tour is absolutely stunning. We were only 4 people, but that was perfect. Elena is a very good tour guide. She is so friendly and knows a lot about the island and the nature. She was also very good prepared with sticks, jackets and delicious food and drinks for us. The tour was a great adventure and the wood was so nice, quite and looked enchanted with the clouds. I can absolutely recommend this tour and will definitely do it again. Thank you very much for everything.”

“An exceptional guide for an unforgettable experience on Mount Teide! I recently had the incredible opportunity to hike up the mount Teide, and a large part of why this adventure was so memorable is thanks to my guide. From the very first moment, they demonstrated genuine kindness and a warmth that made me feel safe and welcome. Their concern for my well-being was constant. They were always attentive to how I was feeling during the hike, offering helpful advice and making sure I maintained a pace suitable for my abilities. Their professionalism combined perfectly with a close and considerate manner, which made the experience much more than just a simple…”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
