The waters between Tenerife and La Gomera are Europe’s first and the world’s third Whale Heritage Site. With up to 22 different species of whales and dolphins —including the largest resident pilot whale colony in Europe—this stretch of ocean is one of the planet’s most extraordinary natural sanctuaries. But the island’s wonders go far beyond the sea. Taste the sweet prickly pears glowing in cactus gardens under the sun. Wander into deep valleys like Masca, where dramatic cliffs rise from lush green slopes, and time seems to stand still. Or embrace the local spirit and leap into the Atlantic straight from a rocky pier, joining the islanders in their favorite ritual of summer. Here, every experience is a reminder that Tenerife is an island of contrasts—wild, authentic, and always unforgettable. Las aguas entre Tenerife y La Gomera son el primer Whale Heritage Site de Europa y el tercero del mundo. Con hasta 22 especies de cetáceos—including la mayor colonia residente de calderones tropicales en la Unión Europea—este enclave marino es uno de los santuarios naturales más extraordinarios del planeta. Pero los tesoros de la isla van mucho más allá del mar. Saborea la dulzura de los tunos rojos que iluminan los cactus bajo el sol atlántico. Adéntrate en valles profundos como Masca, donde los acantilados dramáticos se levantan entre laderas verdes y el tiempo parece detenerse. O déjate llevar por el espíritu local y lánzate al Atlántico desde un muelle rocoso, compartiendo con los isleños su ritual veraniego favorito. Aquí, cada experiencia te recuerda que Tenerife es una isla de contrastes—salvaje, auténtica e inolvidable.

ISLAND MOMENTS
Leave from Puerto Colón on a sunrise boat ride—feel the ocean mist as you glide toward the towering cliffs of Los Gigantes. Here, explore dramatic volcanic walls rising hundreds of meters above you, then do as the locals do: leap off the old pier into the deep, crystal-blue water below, a thrill perfectly balanced between tradition and spontaneity. Later, walk through Masca’s lush gorge—its green slopes and rugged beauty feel timeless. Before the day ends, pause to taste sweet cactus fruit warmed by the Atlantic sun. In Tenerife, every sight, flavor, and jump becomes an unforgettable island moment.
Between whales in the ocean, cactus fruits in the sun , and cliffs that touch the clouds, Tenerife invites you to live the island with all your senses.
