Tenerife: Hiking Tour in Anaga & Enchanted Forest with Pickup
Overview
Available languages
7 hours
Mobile ticket
This hiking tour combines a short visit to the famous Enchanted Forest with a longer guided route through a remote, less-traveled part of the Anaga Mountains. The trail features volcanic ridges, lush valleys, a historic water channel, and views of a cave village carved into the rock.
It includes a picnic lunch in nature, often enjoyed in a cave or on a scenic slope — a rare addition that deepens the connection with the environment and offers a quiet moment during the hike.
Guests are picked up from southern and eastern coastal areas and transported in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan, providing easy access from the island’s main tourist zones where most visitors stay.
The small group is led by a knowledgeable guide who shares stories and insights in a relaxed and personal way.
This full-day experience crosses multiple microclimates and is ideal for nature lovers seeking a meaningful, off-the-beaten-path adventure.

What To Expect
Explore Tenerife’s Anaga Mountains and Enchanted Forest on a guided full-day hiking tour with scenic viewpoints, lauri-silva woodland, a cave village, and photo memories. We pick you up from your hotel or apartment and head into Anaga Rural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Inside the park, we make one or two scenic stops, depending on weather and visibility, to enjoy panoramic views of Tenerife’s landscape. We briefly pass through the Enchanted Forest, a mossy, misty laurel woodland — just enough to feel its magic and take a few memorable photos. Your guide shares stories and insights in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout the day. On the way to a remote area of Anaga, where the main hike begins, you’ll see a cave village carved into the rock — a glimpse into traditional island life. The trail (approx. 7 km, 230 m elevation) winds through ridges, green valleys, and ends along a historic water channel. Moderate difficulty, varied terrain. We enjoy a picnic in nature — in a cave or on a slope, depending on conditions. The hike lasts 3.5–4.5 hours; the full tour takes about 7 hours. After the tour, you’ll receive 20–40 digital photos as a memory of your day in Anaga.

5.00This tour was the best tour I've ever done. Alex led our small group through a picture book landscape with shame and a lot of sympathy. I can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy nature off the beaten track with a little adventure. With average good fitness, the tour is easy to handle. I would do them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Alex for this great experience!
Incredible views, knowledgeable guide. Very physically challenging. Good hiking shoes are a must!

5.00The tour and the guide were great! We had a great day out. Saw some of the island’s biodiversity. The guide was very attentive and ensured everyone had a great experience, and ensuring everyone kept up, especially at some of the challenging sections. Sceneries are amazing at mountain tops! Small group tour. Highly recommended!

5.00Having booked this trip I still wasn’t sure what to expect having read the reviews. Some say it’s easy some say it’s hard and some say it’s scary!! From my perspective, if you have a degree of fitness it’s not a hard hike in terms of difficulty, however, if you are afraid of heights or the potential of falling then it may have its challenges! All in all it was a wonderful experience, myself and my sister met a small group of lovely people from several different countries and the guide, Alex, was knowledgeable and funny, if a little evasive about timings and fears we may have to tackle lol I would recommend this trip you won’t be disappointed.
A Great Adventure

5.00We did the hike with our 8-year-old daughter. It was exceptionally hot due to the calima wind and high UV: fortunately we were well prepared with enough water, sunscreen and proper hiking boots. Alex, our guide, provided us with hiking sticks and torches. It was an amazing experience with breathtaking views, great anecdotes, tasty snacks and interesting information. Alex is very attentive, calm and has a great sense of humour. Thanks again, Alex, we loved it all through! Visiors: go for it but take precautions seriously.
