Things to do in Tenerife

What's Hot
My wife and I are going to Tenerife next week and have a few days unplanned.

Does anyone have any must do's on the island?

We are staying in Los Cristianos and neither of us drive, so ideally the nearer to us the better!

    I was going to suggest the waterpark but not without kids. Drink, sleep and eat in the 30 degree heat.

    Drink cheap booze, get sunburned while you sleep off a hangover. Party like it's 1999.

    The north of the island is more middle aged serenity, down on the south end it's all party till dawn.

    If you're into cycling it's a popular winter training camp location: low to mid 20's, sunshine, nice roads.
    It also boasts Europe's longest uninterrupted climb: 2300m over 50km (ie 50k of average 4.6%)

    Get on the local buses and travel to the non-tourist villages - there's a good cheap/free book on amazon about doing it.

    Get a taxi to Roque Bermejo, the north-eastern point of the island, walk to the end of the cliffs, turn around, pull down your pants and moon the good people of Morocco.

    "Sin in the sun"?  Excellent typo, @Jalapeno ;!

    (Or did you really mean it?)

    Go to Siam Park (water park) - great fun 
    Red ones are better.

    Get a bus to Granadilla. Beautiful town with nice food and drink.

    Get a bus to Santa Cruz. Wicked cool city, and totally unexpected for a small island.

    Get a bus to Masca. Gorgeous, totally remote costal town. Some nice food and drink to be had.

    Get smashed.

    Avoid Playas etc.

  • Loro Parque is a good day out as is a 4x4 tour of Mt Teide.

    Siam Park was nice but there was bugger all shade to sit in if that matters to you.

    Whilst I agree - It turns out their animal welfare standards are completely piss poor (or were at last check) - so I would avoid at all costs if you have a conscience
