Tenerife: Hiking Tour in Anaga Mountains and Enchanted Forest
Overview
Available languages
7 hours
Mobile ticket
This is a fully organized, all-in-one day adventure that combines scenic driving, a visit to the Enchanted Forest, and a longer guided hike through a remote, less-traveled part of the Anaga Mountains.
Along the way, you’ll experience varied terrain — forest paths, mountain ridges, and short tunnel sections — in places that are often quiet and uncrowded.
The tour is well suited for cruise guests visiting Tenerife, offering a rare opportunity to explore these landscapes within a single day. Pickup and transport in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan make the logistics easy, while the small-group format keeps the experience personal.
A relaxed picnic break in nature and photos after the tour complete the day.

What To Expect
Spend a full day exploring the Anaga Mountains on a guided hiking tour in Tenerife’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, away from the busy resorts. Pickup is provided from the southern or eastern coastal areas, followed by a drive to Anaga. You’ll start with a short introductory walk (about 25–35 minutes) in the misty Enchanted Forest, where laurel trees and shifting clouds create a unique atmosphere. In clear weather, you may also catch distant views of Mount Teide. Next, travel by vehicle to the main trailhead, passing a still-inhabited cliffside cave village along the way. The main hike follows mountain trails across ridges, forested slopes, and valleys, with varied terrain and constantly changing scenery. Your guide shares insights into the region’s nature, history, and everyday life, and a relaxed picnic break is included (hilltop or inside a cave, depending on conditions). This experience works well for experienced hikers and for first-timers in good general physical condition, but it does involve uneven terrain and narrow paths. The route ends with a short but physically demanding final climb. After the tour, you’ll receive 20–30 digital photos taken throughout the day.

5.00Highly recommended. The organization beforehand is great. Alex takes care of everything. Pick up, meals (tasty sandwich and small snacks ), information and entertainment. He led us safely over stick, stone and water. We had light rain in the Enchanted Forest - that made it all even more mystical. Think of a light rain jacket. For the hike in the Anagage Mountains the sun came out and there were magnificent views. We climbed paths, balanced over bridges, waded through water, ducked under rocks, crossed tunnels. A great adventure. Our children 10 and 14 were delighted.
Lovely hike in the beautiful Anaga park.

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!
