Canary Islands Tours & Trips

Best time to visit Canary Islands

• Summer 2026

  Summer draws people to our northern routes, where Tenerife's Anaga Rural Park offers shaded walks and cooler temperatures. These ancient trails date to the Tertiary period, and our travelers particularly enjoy exploring the old laurel forests. Summer sailing tours are popular too - you can jump in for refreshing swims right from the boat in La Gomera's quiet bays. Our customers often mention how they like combining easy coastal walks with relaxed sailing between islands, though some routes include longer days at sea worth preparing for.

  Autumn creates perfect conditions for our more demanding walking tours, with routes on La Gomera, Tenerife and also Mount Teide getting particularly strong feedback. Our travelers often mention loving the clear autumn skies for photography, especially along the Famara Cliffs. Multi-island walking tours work exceptionally well this season - you'll find peaceful trails and pleasant temperatures for longer hikes. The self-guided cycling tours receive great autumn reviews too, with customers appreciating the quiet time to explore La Geria's vineyards and coastal paths without summer crowds. Tour company feedback from our travelers suggests La Gomera and Tenerife are real standouts for walking holidays with Explore. Their routes take you through pine forests, along coastal paths and into quiet villages that most visitors never see. The walks can be quite demanding though - some of our guests mention needing good fitness levels, proper boots and walking poles for the steeper sections. Over in Gran Canaria, Eat Sleep Cycle has found a sweet spot combining challenging rides with comfort. Their base at the Spa Hotel lets you tackle those mountain climbs and then properly recover afterwards. The routes are cleverly designed so you can adjust the distance and difficulty each day. Macs Adventure gives cyclists more independence in Lanzarote - their self-guided tours mean you can stop whenever you spot something interesting. Our travelers particularly like being able to explore at their own pace, knowing they've got quality hotels booked ahead and detailed route notes to follow. They provide good bikes, move your luggage between hotels and pick routes that show off the volcanic landscapes and quiet coastal roads. Each company brings something different - Explore for guided walks in the western islands, Eat Sleep Cycle for supported riding from a comfortable base and Macs Adventure for independent cycling with all the logistics taken care of.
