FAMILY EXCURSION IDEAS IN TENERIFE 🌴👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The Ultimate Guide to Planning the Perfect Family Holiday in Tenerife

One of the hardest parts about booking a family holiday isn’t actually booking the holiday itself…

…it’s working out:

• what to do
• what’s suitable for your child’s age
• what’s too long
• what’s worth the money
• what works around naps
• and how to avoid spending the entire holiday stressed and exhausted.

The truth is, Tenerife has an incredible amount to offer families — from waterparks and animal parks to boat trips, beaches, playgrounds and family-friendly attractions.

But the key to a successful family holiday is not trying to do everything.

It’s choosing the RIGHT things for:

• your child’s age
• energy levels
• routine
• confidence
• and holiday style.

A toddler holiday looks very different to a holiday with a confident 7 year old — and honestly, that’s completely okay.

This guide is here to help you plan your entire Tenerife family holiday without the stress, panic or endless searching.

Whether you want:

• relaxed days
• exciting excursions
• toddler-friendly ideas
• full family adventure days
• quieter activities
• or help balancing your holiday properly

—we’ve created guides to help make planning easier.

The idea is simple: # let us help you plan the holiday around YOUR family.

Why Planning Around Your Child’s Age Matters 👶➡️👦

One of the biggest mistakes families make in Tenerife is booking excursions based on:

• social media
• adverts
• “top things to do”
• or what sounds exciting for adults.

But younger children usually care far more about:

• pools
• animals
• snacks
• ice cream
• sand
• simple experiences
• and feeling comfortable.

Trying to do:

• huge day trips
• long journeys
• late nights
• busy schedules

can quickly lead to:

• missed naps
• overtired children
• stressful evenings
• and parents needing a holiday after the holiday.

The secret to a great family holiday is balance.

The best Tenerife holidays normally include:

• a couple of bigger excursions
• quieter pool days
• simple family activities
• flexible plans
• and downtime.

That’s why we’ve created different guides based around different family age groups.
