Tenerife

Canyoning in Tenerife

The ravines you descend in Tenerife are not all in the same valley. This list has introductory trips in Los Arcos and Chimoche, in La Orotava; longer descents in Carrizales, in Buenavista del Norte; and trips the page itself marks as intro, intermediate or advanced.

You go down with a wetsuit, a helmet and a guide, in a small group. A three-hour introduction is not Carrizales, which takes most of the day. The grade is written on the page: do not assume it is the same on the next one.

This page compares 8 bookable options. Lowest listed price: €30. Time on the activity runs 3 h–7 h. Meeting points include Buenavista del Norte, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Orotava. The closed price and the meeting point are on each activity page.

North, south and grade

La Orotava and Buenavista are in the north and northwest. Barranco Hondo and some trips towards Costa Adeje are on the other side. Pick by where you sleep: crossing the island for a three-hour ravine is a poor trade.

On a first descent, stay with the pages that say introductory. The advanced trips and Carrizales ask for more ease and more hours.

What to read on the page

The ravine’s name, the hours and whether it is a wet descent. Chimoche and Los Arcos are not the same watercourse. The kit (wetsuit, helmet) is confirmed on that trip’s page, not by this list.

Questions

Which ravines can you descend in Tenerife?
This list includes Los Arcos and Chimoche (La Orotava), Carrizales (Buenavista del Norte) and other intro, intermediate or advanced trips.
Is it suitable if I have never been canyoning?
Yes, if the page says introductory. Advanced grades and full-day descents are not a first canyon.
How long does it take?
Some trips are about three hours and others five to seven, such as Carrizales. The duration is on each page.
How many canyoning options are listed in Tenerife?
8. Each one links to its own page, with the meeting point and the booking calendar.
What is the lowest listed price for canyoning in Tenerife?
€30. That is the cheapest page in this list, not a promise that every date costs the same. The final price is on the activity.
