Tenerife boasts sunshine, bars and restaurants, <strong>making it a family-friendly spot for those seeking a relaxing break with their loved ones without leaving Europe<\/strong>. Here is our family guide to Tenerife for parents with kids of all ages.<\/p>\n<h2>Temperature gauge<\/h2>\n<p>Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the warmest of the Canary Islands, so booking a holiday here pretty much guarantees sunshine for those wanting to stay on the warmest Canary Island.<\/p>\n<h2>Whale watching<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-19770\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wale-watching.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A trip out to sea <strong>to look for whales tops most families\u2019 wishlists when on holiday in Tenerife with kids<\/strong>. Sightings are more likely to occur during the winter months, from December to February, but remember that this is also the best time of year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/spains-best-places-to-visit-in-winter\/\">to get away for some winter sun<\/a> &#8211; imagine watching whales with tshirts on in December! There are several tours available which can be booked during your stay at your hotel or with a local travel agent.<\/p>\n<h2>Top up your tan<\/h2>\n<p>Kids love the sand, right? So for a simple family day out why not pack up a picnic and your buckets and shovels and head to the beach! Some of Tenerife\u2019s most famous beaches include L<strong>os Gigantes which has the black sand that Tenerife is famous for and a stunning 800m cliff overlooking it<\/strong>. Las Teresitas near Santa Cruz is a manmade beach made of sand that is imported from the Sahara, and <strong>the Arona beach which is the most famous of the sands in Los Cristianos and has a blue flag for cleanliness and safety<\/strong>. Stay at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/hotel\/catalonia-las-vegas\">Catalonia Las Vegas<\/a> hotel in Puerto de tenerla Cruz, just outside Santa Cruz. With a swimming pool, gym, jeep excursions and horse riding, you won\u2019t want to leave the hotel, but if you do, the beach is just a two minute walk away.<\/p>\n<h2>See some animals<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-19771\" src=\"\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tiger.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"357\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Family holidays in Spain are not complete without a trip to the zoo. From chimps to killer whales, lions, hippos and dolphins to parrots, penguins and swans, <strong>Loro Parque has a feathered, furry or scaled friend for everyone making it a great place on Tenerife for families<\/strong>. Boasting the accolade of the Best Zoo in the World from Trip Advisor, <strong>the Loro Parque is humane certified and actively promotes animal welfare<\/strong> and understanding to local schools and groups.<\/p>\n<p>Camel Park in Arona, near Los Cristianos, also has some furry friends. Kids and adults alike can enjoy a camel ride, feed bananas to the camels and locally prepared typical meals are also available. Located within a working farm, other animals can also be seen here from ducks to goats, chickens and donkeys.<\/p>\n<h2>Splash around<\/h2>\n<p>There are several waterparks on Tenerife, the most famous one being <strong>Siam Park. This waterpark was named number one in the world for the fifth time by Trip Advisor<\/strong> and has water slides for all ages. From kid-friendly slides to rapids for the bravest in the family, this is one of the best family excursions on Tenerife.<\/p>\n<h2>Back to nature<\/h2>\n<p>A family holiday on Tenerife can also be about heading back to nature. Put on your hiking boots to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cataloniahotels.com\/en\/blog\/the-top-5-natural-pools-of-tenerife\/\">the island\u2019s natural pools<\/a> along the coastline. These \u201ccharcos\u201d were created by volcanic lava formation which cooled as it arrived at the sea, creating pools which can now be swum in along the coast. <strong>El Pris is a favourite for its view of Mount Teide and the fish restaurants<\/strong> nearby for wonderful freshly caught fish at lunch and dinner time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for where to stay in Tenerife for families then look no further!
