A successful holiday in Tenerife Today we talk about Tenerife ,the island of eternal spring, a tropical paradise with banana plantations, palm trees, always sunny in the south, but with clouds, cold and rain in the north, and the vibrant nightlife scene and with many sunny beaches to choose from (with both black and yellow sand) where you can sunbathe all year. Tenerife is an extraordinary destination for adventurous tourists. An excursion not to be missed when visiting Tenerife is a boat trip on the Atlantic Ocean.This trip in a pirate style boat is perfect for admiring dolphins and whales in their natural environment. It is very important to know from the beginning, why you choose to make your holiday in Tenerife. If you come exclusively for the beach, you may be a little disappointed. I don't know if it's worth flying hours, so you don't see azure (or emerald-colored) water. Ideal to plan your vacation is either between April-May or October-November, both due to the weather and the fact that it is off-season, and the prices for accommodations, restaurants and tourist attractions are lower. A good tip for you - If you have a driver's license, an adventurous spirit and the desire to be free, without depending on anyone, I recommend you to rent a car ,immediately you booked your plane tickets, so that you can visit the whole island at your own pace.The earlier you do it, the cheaper it will be. You also must know from the outset that the island has two hearts: in the south of the island -Costa Adeje - Los Cristianos - Las Americas and in the north of the island-Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the capital), although I would say more Puerto de la Cruz. Accomodation Tenerife is not just all about all-inclusive holidays. We focused for you, on affordable self-catering places to stay, all around the island. Eating the hotel food, you're either stuck with it or face the situation of basically paying twice ,but instead be the boss and have flexibility, enjoy a peaceful relaxing holiday with self-catering accommodation and cook something tasty for dinner later when you’re back at your accommodation from exploring Tenerife.
