Tour The iSLANDS
The Canaries are comprised of islets
and seven major islands: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Each island boasts of unique vistas and natural wonders that are a league of their own.
Prepare to experience something different each day at Tenerife, the largest and the best-known island in The Canaries, with over 10 million visitors a year. You could be visiting a museum today or watching
a rock concert the following evening. Tinerfeños have mastered the art of having a good time, with their fondness for discos headlined by international DJs and wild foam parties.
Fond of superlatives, Tenerife also has the grand pico del teide. At 3,718 metres, it is Spain’s tallest peak.
Escape from the big, busy Tenerife and be carried off by the powerful winds of fuerteventura. There is no better place for surfers, windsurfers and kite flyers in need of an adrenaline rush.
Journey on to Gran Canaria, where diverse landscapes and climates make the island truly unique. Choose from sun- kissed beaches, secret coves, countryside vistas and even sand dunes! Plus, enjoy modern living in the capital, Las palmas de Gran Canaria, with its chic shopping centres, theatres, performance venues, bars and restaurants.
Lanzarote’s spectacular volcanic landscapes, on the other hand, seem to
be out of this world. Centuries-old lava streams rest side by side with stunning rock formations, geysers and mountain ranges.
Meanwhile, La palma’s clear skies take
star gazing to a whole new level. The most important astrophysics observatories in the northern hemisphere can be found on this island due to its clear, unpolluted skies.
Then, step into the seemingly enchanted forests of La Gomera. Rich in flora,
fauna and landscapes sculpted over the centuries, it is a popular hiking destination.
A paradise for scuba divers, El Hierro is surrounded by clear blue waters. Explore
