With four fabolous golf courses in the South of Tenerife and an ideal climate it is not surprising that Tenerife is one of the most popular golfing destinations in Europe.

Watersports are extremely well served on the island too. El medano offers the perfect combination of powerful waves and sheltered, rock free bays to accommodate wind and kite surfers of all experience levels. Sailing, big game fishing and scuba diving are all available and something which Tenerife offers which is not available anywhere else in Europe is Bob Diving.

As well as general sightseeing there are excursions and tours to fit every taste and age group. You can take a cultural guided walking tour of Santa Cruz or go out on the open sea to watch dolphins and whales. Thrill seekers can enjoy the exciting bungy high jumps at Sky Park, or take the cable car up to the top of Teide - Tenerife's very own volcano.

There are waterparks and cultural parks. The breathtaking wild bird show at Parque de Aguilas really should not be missed. Parque de Aguilas also offers an obsticle course which will keep kids happy for ages. Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz with its colourful parrots, the world's largest penguinarium and fabulous tropical gardens is a must!

The mysterious Pyramides de Guimar make another fascinating day out. The atmosphere there is calming and very peaceful and you can't help but leave the area feeling rested.

Another thing Tenerife is famous for is the Carnival which is held each year in February or March. For those that miss this extrordinary spectacle, there is no end of other fiestas and romerias throughout the year. One that is especially recommended is Corpus Cristi held at the beginning of June each year. In La Oratava fabulous carpets made of flower petals and coloured salt line the streets only to be destroyed by the procession a few hours later.

There is no end of fine restaurants, bars and entertainment. Take in the amazing and internationally renowned Carmen Motta spectacular in Los Cristianos or enjoy an evening of comedy and music at one of the locals.

For shopaholics you'll find plenty of bargains in Tenerife. There are several brand names selling for a fraction of high street prices in the UK. Tenerife wines are very well respected and reasonably priced and there are a number of specialist items and handicrafts that make great gifts.
