Get the best of a family holiday in Canary Islands by savouring not just the delicious cuisine and sun drenched beaches, but the range of watersports on offer. The dramatic volcanic scenery extends into the seas around it, which makes for excellent diving in the Canaries. You can learn to dive in Tenerife, with some of the accredited courses at the dive schools in Las Galettas, on the south coast, or Puerto de la Cruz in the north. Where you can discover an underwater world of deep volcanic crevasses and reefs rich with colourful and unusual marine life.
Most of the resorts in Tenerife will offer an abundance of watersports to choose from. Windsurfing is particularly popular in the Canaries thanks to the fairly constant sea breezes, and you can charter a sailboat to explore the coastline with dramatic views back onto the island.
Adrenalin junkies who want a speedboat to really maximise the sea-faring fun will love waterskiing, jetskis and parascending, where you are attached to a parachute and lifted off the water as the speedboat gathers speed – another great way to discover Tenerife and its spectacular scenery.
