  • Castillo San Miguel

  • Whale and dolphin watching
  • Masca hike
  • Jungle Park. Well worth a visit, the bird of prey show is a must. There are free bus links to the park, but getting on one to get back is not much fun!
  • Siam park. Opened in 2008, this is a fantastic water park, created by the owners of Loro Parque - and it has been beautifully designed, like a modern Lago Martianez! Look out for the 2-m-high artificial waves. Unlike many of these places, there is plenty of shade and high quality cafes/bars so you can spend the whole day there without burning and dehydrating!
  • Aqualand. A water park.
  • Monkey Park, Camino Moreque-Llano Azul 17 (TF662, +34 922 79 07 20. 09:30-16:00 daily. Zoo with emphasis on monkeys, roaming around the park freely in many areas. Other species include rodents, reptiles (snakes, tortoises), and parrots. Adults €10, children €5.
  • Sports Centre "Tenerife Top Training"
