Local guide and full immersion itinerary
Tenerife Private Tours offers you the chance to visit local places that are little known to conventional tourism and enjoy premium experiences provided by your local guide’s partners.
In addition, you have the option of being picked up at your accommodation and transported in a private van throughout the experience: depending on the date of your trip, your local guide will recommend different possibilities.
Some destinations in Tenerife have become overcrowded in recent years, but there are a thousand and one possibilities for those who know what they are doing. Are you in?
Select your tour and customise it!
The Tenerife Private Tour in Teno is the most highly rated by those seeking a rural experience in the least crowded area of Tenerife, with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Teide in the distance. It includes a demonstration of the ancient ‘Salto del Pastor’ (shepherd’s leap).
The Big One
Discover the lesser-known side of Mount Teide with the Tenerife Private Tour Teide: Explore ‘La Fortaleza’ and get a clear view of how Mount Teide sits atop another colossal crater: Las Cañadas. Did you know? The tour includes sunset viewing in a special spot, if you wish.
The Tenerife ‘Charcos’ Private Tour is exclusive to Tenique Outdoor and includes exploring some of the island’s most authentic and least crowded sea pools. Millions of years ago, lava formed small pools where the island’s inhabitants have been fishing and swimming for years. Did you bring your swimsuit?
Create your own tailor-made experience
Private Tours Tenerife offer the possibility of combining different destinations on the island that would be impossible with the logistics of conventional tours: feel free to choose.
The Grand Private Tour Tenerife includes visits to the island’s most iconic villages in the combination of landscapes you desire: coastal Garachico, centuries-old Icod de los Vinos, and Masca, known as the Machu Picchu of Tenerife. The Grand Tour Tenerife is ideal if you prioritise visiting Tenerife’s most popular spots in one full day with private transport and guide.
The Tenerife Private Tour, a favourite among lovers of tropical landscapes, winds its way through several palm groves on the island and charming seaside villages. This is the option for you if you prefer magical spots to the classic tourist locations in Tenerife: ideal for couples and families who want to explore the lush northern coast of the island. Can be combined with other tours!
The Tenerife Private Tour that includes visits to the island’s two most famous sites is the Teide Masca Grand Tour. We will collect you from your accommodation and visit one site or the other first, depending on whether we are travelling from the south or north of the island.
Both destinations are crowded with visitors for much of the year: your local guide will create the best itinerary for your dates, including premium experiences along the way and organising meals at award-winning local restaurants (or the famous ‘Guachinches’).
Discover the exclusive advantages of Private Tours Tenerife
The Privates Tours Tours include lunch at local restaurants or guachinches in unique settings so you can sample authentic Canarian cuisine: papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), puchero canario (Canarian stew), queso asado con mojo (grilled cheese with mojo sauce) and more.
Private Tours Tenerife allows you to enjoy a complete transportation experience along the winding roads of Masca to the great journey above 2000 meters in the Teide National Park. Don’t worry about driving and possible traffic on some of the narrow sections. We have made these journeys hundreds of times and love every corner of the island, so you can enjoy exclusive stops that only locals know about during your exploration of the island.
Private tours include a local guide who knows the best points of interest on each route and is knowledgeable about premium local experiences through partners committed to providing soulful experiences that truly represent Canarian culture and tradition.
Tenenique’s Private Tours Tenerife are part of Tenerife’s Sustainability Charter and help to fund additional projects related to ecotourism and local awareness.
Discover unique locations on Private Tours
1
If you wish, we can arrange pick-up directly from your accommodation anywhere on the island, making your experience with Private Tours Tenerife comfortable and hassle-free.
Our private tours in Tenerife are carefully designed according to the location of your accommodation. This allows each route to follow some of the most scenic landscapes on the island while discovering authentic areas beyond the typical tourist routes.
For example, if your private tour of Tenerife begins in the north, the route to Teide National Park crosses the lush forests of the Orotava Valley. If it begins in the south, the journey reveals striking volcanic landscapes and panoramic viewpoints around Vilaflor or Chío, ensuring each private tour is optimized for discovery from your starting point.

All private tours of Tenerife include a guided hike, either in the morning or afternoon. You can also choose the type of place where you would like to enjoy lunch, for example, a traditional local guachinche, one of Tenerife’s most authentic family restaurants.
The hiking routes included in our private tours of Tenerife are fully tailored to the needs of your group. The distance, elevation, pace, and stops can be adjusted according to your preferences. You decide the level of activity, and we design the most suitable route so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.
If you wish, we can also organize additional activities with trusted local partners in the areas included in your private tour of Tenerife. For example, during the private tour of Tenerife Teno, we can organize an authentic tasting of traditional Canarian cheeses directly at the place where they are produced.
3
All Private Tours Tenerife include meals at carefully selected restaurants, depending on the level of luxury or local immersion you prefer.
For example, if you would like to experience authentic Canarian cuisine in an elegant and refined setting, we can arrange the perfect restaurant for you. On the other hand, if you prefer a deeper immersion into the most traditional local atmosphere, we can take you to one of Tenerife’s authentic guachinches — small family-run establishments where local food and wine are served.
In both cases, our Private Tours Tenerife maintain close connections with trusted restaurants and guachinches along the route. While guachinches have become famous among visitors, some have unfortunately turned into tourist-oriented places with lower quality, while locals tend to go elsewhere.
That is why Tenique’s mission is to carefully select the most authentic options, ensuring a genuine experience and avoiding the common disappointments many visitors encounter.

Private Tours Tenerife can last either a half day or a full day. For half-day tours, you can choose whether to include lunch or not, although including lunch is usually the most popular option.
Full-day Private Tours Tenerife often combine a scenic walking route in a carefully selected location with an authentic local experience.
Depending on where you are staying, your interests, and your preferences, your guide will design the day accordingly. The experience may include the walking route in the morning followed by a local activity in the afternoon, or the other way around, ensuring the best flow for your Private Tour Tenerife.
Private Tours Tenerife allow you to enjoy a perfectly planned day without worrying about logistics. Your guide takes care of the organization, transportation, and timing, so you can simply relax and experience the best landscapes of Tenerife.
If you have a specific place or activity in mind, feel free to ask us before your Private Tour Tenerife. Many travelers contact us to explore possibilities, such as hiking the famous Masca Gorge in Teno Rural Park, or combining experiences like kayaking along the coast and a boat excursion from Los Gigantes, known for its spectacular volcanic cliffs.
Your guide will design the best plan based on weather, logistics, and your preferences, creating a seamless Private Tours Tenerife experience that reveals the island’s most authentic landscapes.
Key questions that other websites don’t answer
No. Booking a Private Mount Teide tour does not automatically guarantee access to the summit of Pico del Teide.
It is important to understand the difference between the different areas of Teide National Park that visitors can access during a Private Tour Tenerife:
If reaching the summit of Pico del Teide is important for you, we recommend mentioning it when contacting us so we can check permit availability and plan your Private Tour Tenerife accordingly.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Private Tours Tenerife is the remarkable variety of microclimates you can experience during a single day.
Because of the island’s geography and the influence of the Atlantic trade winds, the weather can be very different between the north and the south of Tenerife.
For example, many visitors stay in sunny southern resorts such as Costa Adeje and assume the weather will be the same everywhere on the island. However, conditions can change dramatically once you cross to the northern side.
Especially in winter, it is quite common to have clear skies in the south while it is cloudy or raining in the north, particularly in the lush mountains of Anaga Rural Park.
During summer, the north of the island often experiences the well-known “sea of clouds”, a layer of clouds formed by the trade winds that frequently sits along the northern slopes of Teide National Park.
The advantage of a Private Tour Tenerife is flexibility. Whenever possible, the itinerary can be adjusted on the day to find the best weather conditions — for example, changing the order of the route or focusing on areas with clearer skies.
If having a particularly panoramic day is important for you (especially in winter), we recommend mentioning this when planning your tour so the route can be designed with the best possible conditions in mind.
Yes — stopping at an authentic guachinche can be one of the most memorable experiences during a Private Tour Tenerife.
A guachinche is a traditional family-run eatery found mainly in the north of Tenerife, especially around La Orotava and Tacoronte. Historically, these small establishments were opened by local wine growers to sell their homemade wine together with simple, homemade dishes.
Because of their growing popularity, some places today use the name guachinche mainly to attract visitors, even though they operate more like conventional restaurants.
One of the advantages of a Private Tour Tenerife is that your guide, Roberto, knows where locals actually go. Instead of tourist-oriented spots, he can take you to authentic guachinches where families still serve their own wine and traditional recipes in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
You can expect simple but delicious homemade food, house wine produced on-site, rustic interiors, and a very local environment. Many authentic guachinches are seasonal and often cash-only, which adds to their traditional character.
Visiting a real guachinche is not just about lunch — it is also a way to experience a piece of Tenerife’s cultural heritage, where the atmosphere remains deeply connected to the island’s rural traditions and colonial past.
In most cases, the answer is no.
Trying to see the entire island during an 8-hour Private Tour Tenerife usually means spending most of the day inside the vehicle rather than actually enjoying the landscapes you came to discover.
Many visitors ask for a “full island tour”, but the reality is that Tenerife is much larger and more diverse than it appears on the map. Driving all the way around the island often turns into a long day of transfers with only brief photo stops.
Well-designed Private Tours Tenerife aim to avoid exactly this situation. Instead of rushing around the island, it is usually far more rewarding to focus on one region per day, allowing you to experience the landscapes and natural environments properly.
Below are a few examples of how a Private Tour Tenerife can be designed in a more enjoyable and realistic way.
It is perfectly possible to combine Teide National Park with the spectacular landscapes of Teno Rural Park in a single Private Tour Tenerife.
Many guests enjoy visiting viewpoints in the volcanic highlands of Mount Teide, followed by an exploration of the dramatic scenery of Teno, including panoramic viewpoints and the famous mountain village of Masca, known for its striking location among deep ravines and volcanic cliffs.
This combination allows travelers to experience both the high-altitude volcanic landscapes of Teide and the rugged beauty of Teno Rural Park in one memorable day.
The ancient laurel forests of Anaga Rural Park are located on the opposite side of the island and usually deserve a full day on their own.
The mountain roads are slower and the area is best explored at a relaxed pace, with time to enjoy panoramic viewpoints, short walks through the forest, and small traditional settlements along the coast.
For nature lovers, this is one of the most unique Private Tours Tenerife experiences.
The northern side of Tenerife offers a very different atmosphere, with lush landscapes, volcanic coastline, and historic architecture visible throughout the region.
A Private Tour Tenerife in this area may include scenic viewpoints, coastal landscapes, and carefully selected local restaurants. In some cases, the route can also continue toward the dramatic scenery of Teno Rural Park, creating a very diverse day of discovery.
The real advantage of booking Private Tours Tenerife is that the itinerary can be designed realistically and intelligently.
Instead of following rushed schedules or overly ambitious routes designed only to sell a “full island tour”, your guide focuses on creating a balanced experience where you can truly enjoy each landscape.
If you are unsure how to plan your day in Tenerife, we are always happy to recommend routes that allow you to experience the island rather than simply drive around it.
Both locations offer spectacular scenery, but they provide very different experiences during a Private Tour Tenerife.
The main difference lies in the type of landscape, flexibility of exploration, and visitor numbers.
Anaga Rural Park is one of the most unique areas of Tenerife. This mountain range is covered by an ancient laurel forest (laurisilva) that dates back millions of years.
The atmosphere here is often described as mystical and lush, with winding mountain roads, traditional hamlets, and countless viewpoints over dramatic valleys and the Atlantic Ocean.
Another advantage of Anaga is variety. The area offers many scenic stops, hiking trails, and different routes that can be adapted throughout the day. Because of this, it is often ideal for travelers who enjoy exploring slowly, stopping at viewpoints, and taking short walks through the forest.
The famous village of Masca, located inside Teno Rural Park, is known for its spectacular volcanic cliffs and deep ravines.
However, access to Masca is mainly via a single mountain road, with fewer route variations and viewpoints compared to Anaga. In recent years the area has also become much more visited, especially during peak travel seasons.
While the landscapes are stunning, the experience can be more dependent on traffic, weather, and visitor numbers.
Choose Anaga if you prefer variety, forest landscapes, multiple viewpoints, and a more flexible route.
Choose Masca if you want to see one of Tenerife’s most famous dramatic valleys, often combined with a visit to Teide National Park in the same day.
If you are unsure which area fits your interests best, we are happy to help design a Private Tour Tenerife that matches the type of landscapes and experiences you would most enjoy.
