Tuesdays and Fridays: Regular Group Activities in English, gathering on average 10 to 20 people. Easy night walk of 3km. Ideal for families, couples and friends who want to be inspired by nature doing a relaxing walk and having time to stop, sit and contemplate the night. Other days can be available depending on the season. Spanish sessions are usually hosted by coworkers. Activities may be canceled depending on the weather evolution or fully cloudy sky. If I cancel, you are 100% refunded. Lanterns are provided. Telescope is not included. If you wish a private activity or include a telescope observation, just let me know.
Secret path through Los Gigantes cliffs
Embark on an unforgettable adventure along the rugged cliffs of Los Gigantes. We'll guide you through the secret hiking path on the edge of the cliffs. The whole trail is an entire "observation deck" of gorgeous cliffs and endless Atlantic Ocean. Our journey will lead us to discover intriguing caves and enchanting grottoes, each with its own unique story. Throughout the tour, be sure to have your camera ready as we'll encounter countless opportunities to capture dozens of amazing photos. We'll explore the biggest accessible cave on this side of the cliffs. Wild goats sometime use it like a natural shelter to rest during a hot day or so rare rain in this area. After being cavemen we'll reach our destination point - a small tunnel-entrance. Gate is closed but we can still feel the energy where the power of Nature meets the ingenuity of Man. By the way back, take a well-deserved break and enjoy a delightful picnic nestled within the shelter of a natural CAVE. This cave, by our view, is one of the Wonders of Tenerife! Rested and fulfilled with a beauty of this unique place, we'll take our way back enjoying the cliffs and the ocean from a new angle - sun is just beginning to touch the rocks, creating an unforgettable play of light and shadow. Trip takes around 4hs. Level of physical activity is Easy. Comfortable shoes for walking /hiking are required.

Underwater Tenerife - see an island from another perspective

Individual diving, no crowds or time limits - you get as much time and attention as you need. The only pressure is underwater;) Flexible meeting point: -*from Radazul to Alcala (West to East Tenerife) Mainly diving from the beach - it allows you to have complete control over your first dive - slowly entering the water, you decide when you are ready. No pressure!:) Languages: English and Polish. Schedule: 1. After confirming your booking - You will receive a message with the required information that I will ask you to provide me with before a dive. You will also receive a medical statement to fill out. 2. You will receive instructions about the meeting point. 3. You will receive a link to the introduction video to scuba diving to watch before a dive day. 4. All equipment will be prepared and fitted to you (unless you are a certified diver) 5. Once you are ready and equipped, we will head slowly to the water. Entry is always from the beach. If your partner cannot dive with you, I can arrange a snorkel for her/him. **Diving with turtles/dolphins/mermaids - we respect the Ocean - and its wild aquatic life...

Kayak with Dolphins and Turtles and snorkelling in Tenerife
Climb aboard for a 2.5-hour kayaking adventure in Tenerife, and get up close and personal with dolphins in their natural environment. Observe the amazing creatures from a vessel that does not stress them or disturb them. Experience the extraordinary sensation of being surrounded by pods of up to 30 dolphins that sometimes put on a show by jumping high into the air or swim directly underneath the kayak! Then it's into the water for an optional swim break and snorkel to look for turtles and bull rays. Usually, within a few minutes, curious turtles arrive and get very close, swimming around and in between us. Also, the bull rays regularly glide elegantly along the sea bed underneath us. Other things to note The minimum age is 14 years old. If you are prone to sea sickness it is a good idea to take a sea sickness pill 30 minutes before the trip. It is mandatory to know how to swim for this experience. As the animals are wild, it is impossible to guarantee it, but there is a 90% chance to see dolphins and/or turtles.
Astrophototour
Group or customized stargazing with a powerful 40 cm diameter professional telescope in the Teide National Park. At over 2300m of altitude where the sky is among the clearest and darkest in the world, you will be able to see live objects such as galaxies, nebulae, the moon and the planets of the solar system and learn all their secrets. Unlike other agencies in the area that offer "mass" tours of this type, with small groups of people it will be possible to interact better and explain this wonderful science in detail, and I will also be able to answer any questions thanks to my experience gained in 25 years of collaboration with an astronomical observatory in northern Italy. I also propose basic and advanced workshops to learn astronomical photography for the most passionate who already know astronomy and want to expand their skills and get more satisfaction in this activity.

The vanilla cultivation and the edible forest
Come and discover one of the most precious and popular aromas in the world: vanilla. Where does it come from? How do we produce these cans with a nice fragrance? During your visit to Finca la Canopea, you will discover how, in a regenerated subtropical ecosystem, the vanilla acclimates to it. During the bloom season (between April and July), you will witness the polling of the flowers, the harvest of the pods and/or their preparation. My modest vanilla production is unique in the Canaries. In Finca la Canopea, we are excited to transform a desert into a rich and varied ecosystem of many edible plants. I will start the tour by showing you how, based on permaculture techniques, we re-create natural habitat where man and nature find their place. It is in this pleasant environment that you will discover how the vanilla acclimatized there and how I have the ambition of cultivating it on a larger scale. IMPORTANT: To make it easier for visits, I decided to separate languages into two groups. One in French and/or Spanish and one in English. CHECK THE LANGUAGE OF THE VISIT WHEN YOU SIGN UP. Thank you The visit adapts to everyone after 12 years. It is also possible to book privately. Feel free to contact me.
Sunset and Stars at Teide National Park - small group
You will be picked up from your accommodation in the South of Tenerife* and taken up to a viewpoint at 1400m to watch the sunset over the islands of La Palma La Gomera and El Hierro. Every sunset is different! You can celebrate this unique experience and take pictures of the beautiful colors of the sky with the sun shining through a glass of Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) we provide. After sunset, we will transfer to another viewpoint just below 2000m in the Teide National Park for stargazing. To enjoy the details of planets, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters we use a 12" Dobsonian telescope. Depending on the time of the year, you will see: -the Moon, which will be our main focus the days before full moon -the planets when they are visible in the sky (in the summer and autumn months), -beautiful galaxies, nebulae and star clusters such as the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters in the constellation of Taurus (in winter). We use laser pointers to show you the stars and the constellations, how to find Polaris, the North Star, using the asterism in Ursa Major, how to find the Andromeda galaxy using the great square of Pegasus and learn some Greek mythology. We will take photos of the guests under the blanket of stars above you. (* from El Medano to Los Gigantes, with some exception, please ask) PS. for a very small-group tour, please contact us
