Masca Walk
Masca Walk is an organised trip, which can be booked at most excursion centres. The trip starts with a ride up into the mountains high above the cliffs of Los Gigantes to Masca Village. Then the walk takes you down the steep ravine to Masca Bay where a boat will take you back to Los Gigantes. This is a difficult walk but well worth it for the spectacular views. The walk itself takes about 3-4 hours.

Mount Teide National Park
Mount Teide is a must when you visit Tenerife; the spectacular luna landscape has been many a backdrop for films and documentaries. The best way to see the mountain range is to hire a car and explore for yourself, or you can take one of the organised excursions. There is a cable car service that takes you a little further up if you wish. There's also a restaurant and gift shops nearby.

Whale and Dolphin watching - with the flipper uno
Tenerife has long been a haven for pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins; you can take a trip from Los Gigantes on one of the many organised trips. These friendly creatures regularly swim along side the bows of the boat; this is a well worthwhile trip just to see them in their natural environment. Most trips last a couple of hours.
