Tour Guide for Tenerife

Beaches, Night Clubs, Water Sports, Hang-Gliding, Go-Karting you name it, we probably have it. But - the less sophisticated venues are also extremely interesting. Car Hire is cheap, Buses and Taxi's are plentiful, as are 'Island Tours'. Fly or Ferry to the other Islands as well.

El Medano. The World Wind-Surfing championships are held here There is always a strong wind for the surfers, yet a sheltered beach viewpoint for the spectators. Worth a visit, we always have some spectacular action there.
