Canary Island: Tenerife 360°
Canary Island: Tenerife 360°
The trip in a nutshell
The volcanic island of Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and we will certainly be able to discover it far and wide during our group trip here. The undisputed star will be the sea, of course, with the wonderful beaches of Las Teresitas and El Médano, where we can (try to) surf. Then there are the natural pools of Garachico and Bajamar, but that's not all: the natural landscapes also play their part. We discover them by walking along the paths of the Teide National Park, from which the highest peak in Spain (3715 metres) dominates. We’ll also check out the ghost town of Abadés, spend a day on a catamaran in search of dolphins and whales, and have a day trip to La Gomera. Are you ready?

Pools, dragons and good food
Get ready to dive into the crystal-clear waters of El Caletón de Garachico as our adventure in Tenerife kicks off! We'll take a dip in the inviting natural pools, no matter how chilly the water is. And that's not all, we'll also marvel at the thousand-year-old "dragon" in Icod de los Vinos - a breathtaking tree that will leave you in awe. To wrap up the day, we'll indulge in a local dinner featuring the delicious flavours of Tenerife cuisine. Come join us for an unforgettable experience!

Whale-watching
Embark on an unforgettable adventure with us as we set sail on a catamaran to explore the stunning sea that surrounds Tenerife. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and whales, and if we're lucky enough, we might just catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. As the day comes to an end, we'll make our way back to the mainland, just in time to witness a breathtaking sunset from Abades. Don't forget to bring your camera, as you won't want to miss capturing this moment!
The abandoned village of Abades
Today, we have an eerie afternoon in store for us. Can you believe that there is a ghost town on this island? It's called Abades, and it was built to house lepers during the 1942 epidemic. Although it's uncertain if anyone ever lived there, several buildings still stand today, often adorned with murals. A visit is a must, and there's even a secluded beach nearby - what more could you ask for?

Sea and surfing
Médano: beach and surf
Greetings Tenerife! A new day and a new beach: today we head to El Médano, known as the bohemian hotspot of the island and a paradise for surfers and water sports enthusiasts. It's the perfect spot to take your first surf lesson of the trip! But if surfing isn't your cup of tea, fret not: the beach is always open and ready to welcome us!
Playa de la Tejita
Following a delicious lunch of fresh fish (unless you're veggie of course), a blissful afternoon awaits us at La Tejita beach where we can unwind and soak up the sun. But before we end the day, we'll embark on a short trek to the top of Red Mountain to witness another breathtaking sunset!
Included: Overnight stay at Hollywood Mirage Aparthotel or similar, car rental
Money Pot: Petrol, parking fees

Teide National Park
Teide National Park
We have two more days left to fully enjoy Tenerife: in the morning, we indulge ourselves in the sea, visiting the beaches that we consider the most inspiring and are on our "must-see" list on the island. After that, we take the cable car and head to the Teide National Park, which is home to not only the highest peak in the Canary Islands but also in all of Spain (3715 meters high), and the third-highest volcano in the world! We will explore it in all its grandeur, walking through the paths that pass through forests and perennial snow. We will stay until sunset, because we assure you, the view from up here is simply breathtaking.
Included: Overnight stay at Hollywood Mirage Aparthotel or similar, Car rental and cable car excursion to the Teide National Park
Money Pot: Petrol and any parking
Not included: Meals and drinks
The North: Las Teresitas and the Anaga Forest
Las Teresitas: the endless beach
To the sea at last...but first, we must earn it! Our first goal of the day is to trek to the Semaforo de Igueste to enjoy an incredible view of the northern part of the island. After getting our circulation going, we spend the morning working on our tans and letting the wind blow through our hair (hopefully it's not too strong, you never know). We make our way to Las Teresitas beach, which is exactly what you picture when you think of the Canaries: golden sand, crystal-clear water, and even palm trees. We find a spot on the beach and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The enchanted forest
We're not satisfied with just the sea, so today we'll also venture into the woods - not the enchanted ones from fairy tales though! It's the Anaga Forest, also known as the Rural Park, and it's an experience not to be missed. We'll discover one of the most stunning natural views in all of northern Tenerife.

Take your time
What does today have in store?
As this is the final day of our trip, we have the freedom to decide how to spend our time: we know that Tenerife offers not only the sea, but also beautiful landscapes and unspoiled nature. We can choose to spend the last day on the beach, perfecting our tan, or venture into the island's interior to explore new hiking trails.
Why not go to another island?
We have a few options to consider for our last day here in Tenerife. While the island is known for its beautiful sea and beaches, it also offers stunning landscapes and natural beauty. We can either spend the day relaxing on the beach and working on our tan, or explore the interior of the island by trekking on new paths. Another option is to visit La Gomera, which is also referred to as Colombina Island due to its connection to the discovery of America. La Gomera is a wild and unspoiled island, with 16 protected natural areas and small villages to discover.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
Tour List
Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
