How to choose the right Canary Islands activity

Start with the type of experience you want and the island where you are staying. Tenerife offers the greatest variety, including Mount Teide, marine excursions and major attractions. Lanzarote is particularly strong for volcanic sightseeing, while Fuerteventura is ideal for beaches and watersports.
