Tenerife is not only a refuge for surfers or divers. It also has the richness of its forests and mountains, perfect for the practice of sport.
So if you are adventurous and want to know new ways to release the adrenaline you have inside here are 7 sports you can practice in Tenerife.
Hiking
One day you wonder what your reasons are for walking and the answers pile up in your head. Because when you walk you feel deeply attached to nature, because the time you spend walking is really for you, to sort out your thoughts. Perhaps the secret lies in what you discover as you walk: a beautiful and fragile flower that grows on the edge of the path, surprising you with the sound of silence, or simply breathing pure air. Who knows, there are so many things… Because butterflies form in your stomach just before you start your journey; because there is no explanation.
In less than an hour’s drive you can change the sea for very high mountains, in places where noise does not reach. You can jump in a moment from the ocean of beaches to the wide network of trails, where you can spend a whole day walking through pine forests and volcanic landscapes.
Mountain biking
In Tenerife everything is more fun on two wheels, so the bicycle is the ideal companion for activities in Tenerife. Rolling around the island is one of the best ways to explore it and get to know it kilometer by kilometer.
The biggest advantage is that there are 2000 km of forest tracks, ready for the enjoyment of this activity. There are also other friendly trails for beginners of the sport. There are many options that, in the face of such beauty, will be short: you will always want to cycle more around Tenerife.
There are a thousand paths full of twists and turns in the mountain areas of Tenerife. For those who are more nervous, they can do sport at full speed, but surrounded by the calm climate of the island.
Kayak
Kayaking is a very safe activity that provides a lot of adrenaline and an incredible view to the person who ventures to experience it. For the most sporty and active people, who want to enjoy the sea while they exercise, kayaking is one of the most incredible options to practice activities in Tenerife out of the ordinary.
Sailing the coasts from this small boat allows you to make a unique journey and opens perspectives that you have little chance of seeing. Kayaking in Tenerife is the perfect opportunity to discover beaches, bays, cliffs and majestic views that those in good physical condition can reach.
Paragliding
For those who are not afraid of heights and in another life were birds in the wild, paragliding is the option that will make Tenerife a paradise where dreams come true. Without a doubt, having wings is the best way to get to know Tenerife from another perspective.
For these activities in Route Active we have guided excursions with experts that guarantee the enjoyment and safety of those who dare to practice activities in Tenerife that are really out of the ordinary. In addition, the privileged climate and the majestic gifts of nature are the main motivation that will make even the laziest visitor dare to practice activities in Tenerife. There are no excuses for not doing so.
Rappel
This activity consists of going down mountains, waterfalls or any other natural surface. The person who practises this activity must wear a helmet and knee pads for safety and be attached to a rope and a harness. In order to practice this activity, it is necessary to know some techniques that allow to protect the security of the people who experience it, but also a lot of physical and mental strength.
Diving
The coasts of Tenerife make way for nature lovers who wish to be captivated by exotic marine species that swim freely in the waters of the area.
Entering the waters of the sea is one of the activities that should not be missed in Tenerife. The offer of guided, supervised and safe excursions varies to suit the tastes, ages and interests as well as the species that one aspires to observe.
Climbing
This activity, rather than climbing a mountain, consists of a combination of physical activity, sport and recreation. However, this activity cannot be considered as extreme as the others and it enables adventurers to experience the adrenaline rush of climbing the various mountain ranges on the island. Fans of this discipline will not know where to start among the many solid rocks, friendly mountains and natural terraces that can be found on the island.
These 7 sports offer adventurers new options to feel the freedom and experience the adrenaline. So don’t be left out of the fun because you already have new alternatives!
