Why book this activity
Choose this experience when you want Anaga as an active point-to-point adventure rather than a forest stroll or coach sightseeing day. The main differentiator is the logistics: you are transferred from the meeting area to the trail start, hike through the Anaga landscape to Playa de Antequera, spend time at the remote beach, then return by boat along the coast rather than climbing back out on foot. Anaga Experience currently describes its direct route as about 3.5 km with medium difficulty, around 838 m of descent and 291 m of ascent. That makes this a much more committed hiking day than , while the boat return gives it a clear endpoint and avoids a second mountain leg.
Who is it for
Best for active adults and experienced recreational hikers who want a substantial Anaga day, are comfortable with steep mountain terrain and value the combination of hiking, remote coast and boat return. It also suits travellers who want a small-group format, with a maximum group size of 12. English, German, French and Spanish are listed as guide languages.
Who should skip it
Choose a shorter Anaga hike with food tasting if you prefer a conventional walking route, or a private wellness experience if you want an easier forest day. Skip this activity if steep descents are hard on your knees, if you need wheelchair accessibility, if you expect beach facilities or if you want a guaranteed swimming stop. Playa de Antequera has no services and can be strongly affected by tide and sea conditions.
What to expect
Meet in the Playa de las Teresitas area and follow the meeting details on your final confirmation. The guided route crosses Anaga toward Playa de Antequera and includes transport to the trail start.

The walking section covers approximately 3.5 km with medium difficulty, about 838 m of descent and 291 m of ascent. Allow roughly three hours of hiking before reaching the beach.

At Playa de Antequera, the group has time to rest and eat the food it has carried. Swimming may be possible when conditions are suitable, but it is not guaranteed. The beach is isolated and has no services; high tide and strong sea conditions can reduce the usable beach area.

The return is by boat along the Anaga coast toward San Andrés and Las Teresitas. Confirm the meeting time and group requirements before travel, as these details can vary.
