Tenerife is a paradise for thrill-seekers, offering breathtaking landscapes, volcanic terrain, and unique ecosystems that create the perfect playground for adventurers.
Imagine riding a quad through dense forests, reaching the summit of Mount Teide, galloping along scenic trails on horseback, or navigating off-road buggy routes along the coast. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back adventure or an adrenaline-pumping experience, Emociónate Tours offers a variety of excursions to suit every level of experience.
Ready to embark on an unforgettable journey? Here are the 5 best adventure activities in Tenerife!
Quad adventure to Teide: the ultimate Tenerife off-road experience
If there is one place in Tenerife that feels like another planet, it is the Teide National Park. Picture yourself cruising through volcanic landscapes on a quad, taking in the surreal scenery of towering rock formations and vast, moon-like plains.
Why is this quad experience so special?
- Teide quad tour: ride up to 2,100 meters above sea level, stopping at the most stunning viewpoints in the national park. The contrast of deep blue skies against the ochre and red volcanic terrain makes this a must-see adventure.
- Coastal Off-Road quad tour: if you are craving something more thrilling, this Tenerife quad excursion takes you off the beaten path to explore lesser-known coastal gems. Ride past banana plantations, traverse rocky trails, and take a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters of El Puertito de Armeñime.
- Sunset quad ride: experience a once-in-a-lifetime sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Starting in Guía de Isora, this quad journey takes you through winding mountain roads, leading to the breathtaking Pico Viejo viewpoint at sunset.
Deep forest quad adventure in Tenerife
If you love untamed nature, this quad biking experience will blow you away. Unlike the Teide excursion, this adventure takes you deep into lush forests, hidden dirt trails, and rugged paths, where you will be surrounded by greenery at all times. It is the perfect tour for off-road enthusiasts looking for a wild and exhilarating ride.
What makes this quad route unique?
- Thrilling off-road adventure: unlike the scenic road leading to Teide, this experience is all about dirt roads, tricky paths, and a sense of real exploration.
- Exclusive routes: this tour takes you to less-explored areas, where you will feel like you’re discovering Tenerife’s hidden corners before anyone else.
- Adrenaline & nature combined: get ready for an adventure that tests your skills while immersing you in the island’s most breathtaking landscapes.
- Taste the Local Flavors: End your adventure with authentic Canarian tapas, the perfect way to wrap up your quad experience!
