Tenerife attractions provide different fun for locals or tourists.

Tenerife attractions mean sightseeing and entertainment for foreigners as well as for residents on Tenerife Island.

Entertainment attractions:

Lets look at Loro Park which must be tourism's pet of outdoor entertainment of all of them. We may learn about some animals at this unusual zoo where we surely get the biggest thrill while watching a water spectacle with orcas or dolphins which some find better than circus.

A different spot with attraction is Lido Martianez.

To open sometimes in 2008 will be Siam Park in south Tenerife.

Attractions for ears and eyes:

Please, go from Tenerife attractions to Tenerife carnival with Santa Cruz definitely being number one while it marks most return visitors of all disguise festivals of Tenerife.

Many tourists and locals are much drawn by other fiestas, too.

However, fiestas fireworks attractions with wind still skies can spoil Tenerife entertainment and, may cause accidents.

Celebrations for 'El Carmen', festivals or Romerias are always big Tenerife attractions.

La Mueca feast in the name of art and, other special days for amusement where one in honor of Saint Juan attracts big crowds for beach fun.

Not to forget in the performing field is the magic of the auditorium

The superb symphony orchestra in Santa Cruz has much attraction for many.

Nature adventures:

Many tourists love nothing more than swim and 'suntan' during the day while going to restaurants or discos at night. Those are only attractions for them.

Mount Teide which you may reach doing your own
Teide excursions is not a world heritage location for no reason.

Use the attraction of haunting free Tenerife cinema film show at Portillo Visitors Centre by invisible gateway to Tenerife mount Teide Canadas! You will not regret.

Masca reminds me remote villages in the book of the Lord of the rings. The region by the faro (light house) most westerly outcrop of Tenerife in the Teno attracts hunters for secret spots.

Nothing beats Tenerife attractions in the wild blue waters with encounters of Pilot whales and other cetaceans by Los Gigantes.

Tenerife Parks have their attractions such as:

Taoro Park with its waterfalls, orchid park and aquapark.

The Drago tree Icod de los Vinos has become Tenerife's symbol. Here, some photos of tree and town. More about Icod in a holiday in Tenerife.

Much praised is also Park Garcia Sanabria Santa Cruz;

La Bananera
near Puerto de la Cruz belongs to attractive parks where you learn all about the banana plantation with a guided tour after which you are given a taste of Banana liquor which you can buy also all over town. By the way, Banana tree trunks whose fruit have been harvested are always chopped down. The infertile parts should then be dug up. Farming bananas is a lot of work which I know because, I had many in my garden in Durban and knew banana farmers, too. Tourists are mesmerized hearing what is involved with the interesting show farm.

Santa Cruz palm forest park museum is an attraction to see.

El Botanico Park in La Paz Puerto de la Cruz is a celebrated park. It's arranged like a grid, has selected Anthuriums and also many other tropical plant beauties as well as indigenous day lilies from Southern Africa, hairy Australian tree ferns as well as huge old trees from South America and even northern America with amazing big roots which don't get burned by the sun.

I love Puerto Cruz with its little features such as a fountain by town square Peņa de Francia. Why this town? For the simple reason that I live nearby and always have many things to do in it. However, towns like Santa Cruz the capital with all its shopping have many entertainment attractions on their books.
The Tenerife capital's night life has always been of importance and, not just for sailors in the olden days. So did its port with ocean liners which lure tourists like magnets. Often, they must be content seeing a big white hull with their binoculars from far off.

La Orotava which I discovered first time in connection with a townhouse in the North is a photo shot drawer on its own and so is cozy Los Gigantes and region with plenty Daute attractions as the neolithic former dwellers of Tenerife would have called them.

Monasterio is a relative Tenerife super King size Finca (rural estate) manor with not only animals, special restaurants, occasional concerts and history as theme.

Part of the same category is in a similar fashion El Abaco which is really worth a special amusement holiday for its entertainment, already, besides its historical value as a museum.

And, here, we have reached entertainment again. Tenerife is bursting with it. Much entertainment all over the island is for free which is the biggest attraction for most. Restaurants, however, must pay. They spend much money on live music providers to attract tourists, mainly.

Sports attractions:

A game with friends made possible by Tenerife golf services might mean utter sport and social bliss for golf fans.

Para-gliding down to the shores from Tenerife's highest peak Teide may signify an unforgettable endeavor to remember for ever and will always stay one of biggest Tenerife attractions. This is how the Swiss guy Ralph who works at my pharmacy in Longuera described it to me. He is just hooked to the sport.

Climbing up mountains like Teide or unknown hills in the Anaga mountains could be reached by Anaga bike tours .

The rugged slopes of Mazca might attract an alpinist more than a beach lover who will search for a good surf in las Americas or elsewhere like Playa Martianez on the island.

A camel ride by El Tanque left an unforgettable funny impression on my friend Lourdes from Malaga.

A German I know still fantasizes of cruising the Tenerife Highlands on his motor bike from the Mercedes forests up as far as the very south of the island. He even mailed me his photo of mount Teide which he took sitting on his Harley Davidson bike.

By the looks of it Teide was also one of main Tenerife attractions for him.

By the way, selected tourists hire open deck sports cars in Tenerife to get a similar feeling to cruising the Caņadas by Teide with a Harley bike.

Others might find sailing, deep see fishing highly attractive. Here, is a nice sailing school for Tenerie that you might like to know.

For yet others a diving holiday would be utmost bliss. For myself it was a private boat trip past Mazca.

It's impossible to name the biggest and best Tenerife attractions for every taste.
