September 22, 2013January 16, 2018 Sarah

Alternative Tenerife Resorts For Any Taste

September 12, 2013January 16, 2018 Sarah

It’s easy to head towards the popular resorts of Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos – they are places you have heard about and they have a lot to offer the budding tourist. However, the small island of Tenerife has a plethora of places to see and things to do, away from the busy tourist areas. If you want the freedom to go wherever you want then get some Tenerife car hire quotes and explore the island at your own pace. Here are a few places not to be missed.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Tenerife’s capital city in the north of the island, is often overlooked but with historic buildings and museums coupled with some of the best shopping on the island (do not miss the El Corte Ingles!) and a vibrant nightlife, it is simply not possible to get bored here. And if you are in the mood for a party atmosphere, then visit Santa Cruz in February when one of the best carnivals in the world is celebrated (some believe that it is second only to Rio de Janeiro’s extravaganza).

Costa Adeje

Although fast becoming a popular resort, there is a more relaxed vibe here than its busy neighbours. Nestled to the north of Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje offers a more sophisticated and chilled insight into Canarian life. With an array of upmarket bars and restaurants and a popular golden sandy beach, this is definitely one of the up and coming Tenerife hotspots.

Golf del Sur

If you want some peace and quiet and the chance to brush up on your Golf, then the Golf del Sur is the place for you. Conveniently located close to the airport and near the lively resorts of Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, the Golf del Sur is a more tranquil destination, yet with the close proximity of the two lively resorts, you have the chance to experience them should you wish to.

These are just a few ideas of the many villages, towns and cities this tiny island has to offer. Jump in the car today and start your own adventure!

Leaving Playa de Las Americas

August 31, 2013January 16, 2018 Sarah

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most popular resort in Tenerife is Playa de Las Americas. With its sun-kissed beaches, hundreds of bars and nightclubs as well as attractions for the whole family, it isn’t hard to figure out why this area is so popular. However, even the party animals in all of us can get bored and restless, so why not get a car hire in Tenerife, and set off on your own adventure?

Where to go

Tenerife may be a small island, but there is plenty to see and do beyond the discos of Playa de Las Americas. Head north towards Tenerife’s highest peak and popular tourist attraction, Pico del Teide. If you want to get away from the crowds, then why not take a drive to the picturesque village of Masca? This beautiful little town is steeped in Canarian tradition and the drive offers some of the most breathtaking views the island has to offer. La Orotava is another traditional Canarian town worth a visit, with colourful buildings and scenic landscapes these escapes will give you a glimpse of Tenerife that many people don’t know it exists.

Head North

If you are looking to please the child in you then why not visit Loro Parque – Tenerife’s biggest Zoo located to the north of the island in Puerto de la Cruz. With everything from dolphins to chimpanzees, you are guaranteed a close encounter with another species. If you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz, then why not check into the Hotel Botanico – one of the most luxurious hotels on the island that ranks highly with Trip Advisor reviews on Tenerife.

Looking for some R ‘n’ R?

If all that driving has taken its toll, and you just want some rest and relaxation then it is time to head for the beach (and Tenerife has plenty of them). If you want to soak up the sun on the natural volcanic black beaches, then Playa de La Arena has one of the best. If you would rather seek a golden sandy beach then Costa Adeje’s coastline is for you. Wherever you decide to go, this island has something for everybody and it is all yours for the taking.

Soak Up the City in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

August 7, 2013January 16, 2018 Sarah

There’s nothing quite like a city break to fuel the senses and melt the credit card. And when you’ve got glorious sunshine, fabulous Spanish cuisine and chic waterside living to boot, your city break just got a whole lot better.

Have you guessed where it is yet? That’s right – Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island’s effervescent capital. It’s amazing to think that most city slickers head to the historic sights of Rome or the designer boutiques of Paris when they need their fix of tall buildings and nightlife. But Santa Cruz is equally abundant in great sights, impressive architecture and a buzzing scene after dark.

So if you’re planning a holiday in Tenerife this year, and once you’ve armed yourself with maps, a fully loaded credit card and a hire car from none other than http://www.tenerifecarhire.com/, make sure you build in a trip to Santa Cruz. Here’s why…

Historic: The city dates back to at least the late 15th century, when the Castilians arrived and established a settlement – the early building blocks of Santa Cruz – which began to spring up around the port.
Beaches: If you like the idea of basking on a beautiful beach, head to Las Teresitas – it’s the city’s largest beach and features imported golden sand. Over on the next bay is Las Gaviotas, a quieter affair featuring Tenerife’s natural black volcanic sands. You’ll probably find a few sunbathers sporting the ‘natural’ look too, so be warned!
Party: If you think Rio knows how to party, look no further than the spectacular Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It’s one of the world’s biggest carnivals and attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year.
Taste: All the Spanish favourites are here, including steaming plates of paella and oh-so-tasty tapas. Fresh seafood is in abundance, and if you move away from the tourist trail around the harbour, you can find cheaper restaurants dotted around the city that are invariably better quality – especially if packed with locals.

These are just a few reasons why we think Santa Cruz is worth a look. And don’t forget, if you’re staying in the north of Tenerife, try our Puerto de la Cruz branch for local car hire. It’s easy to get to and it’s just a short drive from Santa Cruz, making getting in and out of the capital that little bit easier. Plus, you’ll find a wide range of car hire options to suit your needs, as well as your budget.

See you in Santa Cruz!

Tenerife Map: Getting Around the Island

July 28, 2013January 16, 2018 Sarah

Who wants to visit Tenerife and stay in the hotel for a week? Not us, that’s for sure! At TenerifeCarHire we believe that holidays are meant for exploring, and that’s especially true when you visit such a diverse and fascinating place as Tenerife. You only have to look at some of our other blog posts to read about the superb attractions you can visit all over the island. From theme and water parks to volcanoes and National Parks, this is certainly an island worth exploring.

Getting around isn’t as difficult as you might think, and there are plenty of helpful English-speaking representatives who can help you out if you’re a bit stuck with the lingo, too. So, here’s our quick rundown on how to get around the island with Tenerife map.

By Car

Need a pick up at the south airport? What better way to do it than by car? You can rent a car on your own and skip the long, boring holiday transfer bus by heading straight to your hotel. In fact, we bet that by the time the transfer bus is just pulling up outside your resort, you’ll be unpacked and lazing by the pool with a glass of something cool and refreshing. Then, you can set off early doors the next morning in your car to discover some of the island’s best attractions.

By Bus

It’s a bit more laborious than car hire, but Tenerife does have a network of bus routes for ferrying visitors to and from the main sites. The Wiki Travel page on Tenerife recommends TITSA buses and also a BONO travel card, should you intend to spend a lot of time travelling by bus.

By Water

There are some superb islands to visit around Tenerife, so why not build a bit of island-hopping into your travel itinerary? You can enquire about ferry services going to Gran Canaria from Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, and to the beautiful little island of La Gomera from Los Cristianos, in the south. In particular, La Gomera is a lovely spot that’s like one big nature reserve, so it’s well worth a day trip (don’t forget your camera!)

Short of having a personal chauffeur for the week, car hire is widely considered the best way to get around Tenerife and to explore its wonderful attractions. Find out more about car hire in Tenerife and reserve your vehicle online, at Tenerifecarhire.com.

Best Tenerife Theme Parks: Siam Park, Loro Parque y más

July 5, 2013January 17, 2018 Sarah

Heading to Tenerife this year? Whether you’ve got the kids in tow and you’re looking for some fun days out, or you fancy something a little bit different from the pool and the beach, there are plenty of first-rate attractions on offer, for example, Tenerife theme parks.

Siam Park

Based near Costa Adeje, Siam Park is one of the largest water parks in Europe and a hugely popular spot with all sorts of different rides, slides, fountains, pools and attractions for all ages. There’s the Tower of Power, The Dragon and the Mekong Rapids to name just a few, along with a wave pool and a lazy river. Have fun in the splash-tastic environment of Siam Park or find a quiet spot, which given its size are quite plentiful, and enjoy a bite to eat with a glass of something cool and refreshing. Thanks to its location in the south of the island it’s easily accessible, so you can use public transport or drive there with a hire car. Book through TenerifeCarHire.com and you’ll find a hire point based in Tenerife South Airport, among others.

Loro Parque

This popular wildlife centre is based in the north of Tenerife, near Puerto de la Cruz. It’s home to a vast array of animals including gorillas and chimps, tigers, jaguars, alligators, sea lions and wonderful sea creatures including tiny sea horses and huge orca whales. You’ll also find many wonderful birds including rainbow-coloured parrots, flamingos and pelicans.

Jungle Park

Jungle Park, located near Los Cristianos, is home to a vast jungle – over 75,000 metre square in total. It’s criss-crossed with tunnels, bridges, walkways and waterfalls, dotted with lagoons and peppered with caves. Exotic and colourful birds of various species live here, including eagles, falcons and flamingos, along with other fantastic creatures including lemurs and monkeys.

Many of the most popular theme parks can be reached by public transport, but naturally, we think car hire is the best way to get around and explore everything that Tenerife has to offer – be it waterslides, exotic jungles or bright and colourful parrots!

Things to Do and See Around Puerto de la Cruz

June 8, 2013January 17, 2018 Sarah

If you’re heading to Puerto de la Cruz for a holiday this year, the best way to get out and explore this wonderful area of Tenerife is to hire a car.

Puerto de la Cruz itself is a pretty town and a popular holiday resort that’s a great spot for enjoying traditional Canarian surroundings and Tenerife’s glorious year-round climate. From here, you can hire a car with Tenerife Car Hire either in Puerto de la Cruz or at Tenerife North Airport, and discover some of the island’s best beauty spots.

Head to La Orotava, a lovely town with a distinctive Canarian charm, and spend a leisurely afternoon wandering along its winding streets and sampling the local produce in its tempting cafes and restaurants. Or, drive further along the north coastal roads and make regular stops at its small towns and villages. This is a great way to discover the ‘real’ Tenerife and you’re bound to find plenty of lovely little photogenic places – the type that the locals frequent and very few tourists know about.

It’s also well worth spending a day in Santa Cruz, the island’s capital city. This vibrant place is located in the far northeast of the island, and it’s a haven of traditional Spanish restaurants, tasty tapas bars, vibrant bars and cafes, and fabulous shops – perfect for melting some plastic and picking up some souvenirs for the folks back home.

And if you’ve got the kids in tow, a trip to Loro Parque is an absolute must. Here, your kids can discover such wonderful animals as tigers, gorillas, dolphins, whales, exotic fish and rainbow-coloured parrots. There are regular shows and demonstrations too.

So whatever you fancy, there is a seemingly endless list of things to see and do all over north Tenerife. It’s just a matter of getting behind the wheel, hitting the road and finding your favourite…
