Eilandhoppen 3 Canarische eilanden - 16 dagen

About the destination: Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, is a sun-drenched destination where volcanic landscapes meet lush forests and golden (and even black) sand beaches. Dominated by the impressive Mount Teide—Spain’s highest peak and the centerpiece of Teide National Park—this island offers some of the most dramatic scenery in Europe. Whether you’re seeking relaxation by the sea, high-altitude hiking, or star-filled night skies, Tenerife delivers a surprisingly diverse experience packed into a relatively small island. Beach lovers can choose between the lively resort areas of the south—such as Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje—with their wide range of hotels, restaurants, and nightlife, or the quieter, more local stretches of coastline around El Médano and the north. The waters are ideal for swimming most of the year, and the island is a prime spot for whale and dolphin watching, with boat trips departing daily from ports like Los Cristianos and Puerto Colón. Surfing, windsurfing, and snorkeling are also popular, thanks to consistent Atlantic swells and clear waters. Away from the coast, Tenerife reveals a rich cultural side. The capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, blends modern architecture, museums, and parks with a vibrant port atmosphere, while nearby San Cristóbal de La Laguna—UNESCO World Heritage Site—charms visitors with its colonial streets, colorful facades, and lively cafés. Traditional towns like La Orotava and Garachico showcase historic mansions, cobbled streets, and intimate squares, offering a glimpse into the island’s past. Local cuisine, from fresh fish and “papas arrugadas” with spicy “mojo” sauces to Canarian wines, completes the experience. Outdoor enthusiasts will find ample opportunities for adventure. Teide National Park offers well-marked trails across lava fields and viewpoints accessible by road or cable car, with guided tours available for sunrise or sunset visits. The Anaga Rural Park, in the island’s northeast, is a green paradise of laurel forests and ridge-top paths with spectacular ocean views. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or solo, Tenerife’s mix of nature, culture, and year-round mild climate makes it an ideal island getaway.

About the destination: Gran Canaria it is the third island in size of the Canary Islands, an African archipelago which is part of Spain. Located in the Atlantic Ocean about 150 kilometres off the northwestern coast of Africa and about 1,350 km from Europe. Gran Canaria is the third largest island of the archipelago in both area and altitude. The capital city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was founded on June 24, 1478, under the name "Real de Las Palmas". Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is, jointly with Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the autonomous community of the Canary Islands. This island is called a "Miniature Continent" due to the different climates and variety of landscapes found, with long beaches and dunes of white sand, contrasting with green ravines and picturesque villages. A third of the island is under protection as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Most of the tourists visit the southern part of the island. The north tends to be cooler, while the south is warmer and sunny. The island possesses 32 Natural Protected Spaces, notably the Rural Park of Nublo, The Doramas Jungle, the Azuaje Ravine, Tamadaba, Pino Santo, etc. Resorts are concentrated in the central eastern part of the southern coast in the Maspalomas area, which includes the towns of San Agustín, Playa del Inglés and Meloneras. In Tarajalillo, an Aeroclub exists from where tourist flights can be taken over the island. Still further to the west along the southern shore, in the Municipality of Mogán, are the communities of Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogán, a village referred to as "Little Venice" on account of its many canals. Other attractions include Cocodrilos Park, Roque Nublo, Cenobio de Valerón with more than 350 storage cavities, Painted cave of Galdar the most important archaeological park in Canary Islands, or the botanical gardens Jardín Canario (in Tafira Alta) and Cactualdea (in La Aldea de San Nicolás). El Dedo de Dios, or "God's Finger", was a rocky spire jutting from the sea in Puerto de las Nieves, and was previously the signature attraction of the Canary Islands until it was destroyed by tropical storm Delta that crossed the archipelago on November 2005. Las Canteras beach, a protected area and diving zone, lies in the heart of the city. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is also known for its annual carnaval. Other attractions in the capital city include the Museo Canario (the most important archaeology museum in the archipelago), the cathedral and the Plaza del Espíritu Santo. The town of Agüimes, on the eastern part of the island, has been carefully restored. The district also includes the most renowned scuba diving area on the island: the marine reserve at the playa de El Cabrón just outside the town of Arinaga. Other important towns are Telde, known among other things for their surf schools in Salinetas, Vecindario (within the municipality of Santa Lucía de Tirajana) and Gáldar, that contains an important diving zone.

About the destination: Fuerteventura, the second-largest island in the Canary archipelago after Tenerife, is a natural paradise, so much so that the island was granted the status of a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in May 2009. The airport on Fuerteventura is on the coast close to Puerto del Rosario, its capital city, but the main tourist resorts are located at Corralejo, to the north, and Morro Jable, to the south. In addition to the island's dramatic natural landscape, Fuerteventura boasts some of the most dazzling beaches found anywhere in the world. This aspect of the island's geographic make up, combined with the constant breezes, makes it extremely popular with water sports enthusiasts and sun worshippers alike and at least two of the sandy beaches have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag award. The islanders, like the inhabitants of the rest of the Canary Islands, are warm and friendly. This previously overlooked island has become increasingly popular with the European holidaymaking community. Fuerteventura is one of the most unspoilt places that you will ever see. With clear blue sea, miles of endless golden sand and views to die for, you just won’t want to leave!
