Things to do with kids in The Canary Islands

Which is the Best Canary Island For You?

• Pick from the major islands – Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote – and you’ll find them all well developed in terms of resort, activities and family-friendly beaches, but also still offering an array of compelling (often volcanic) landscapes to explore.

Discovering the Lesser-known Canary Islands

• Venture to La Gomera to enjoy one of the most child-friendly of Spain’s main nature reserves and national parks, the UNESCO World Heritage listed Garajonay National Park, with forest landscapes where you can get up close to reptiles and different plant formations.

• Or try La Palma, nicknamed la isla bonita (‘the beautiful island’), for hiking amidst spectacular landscapes.

• Alternatively, head for El Hierro, the smallest of the Canaries and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with plenty of wilderness to escape into.

Eating in The Canary Islands

Food in the Canary Islands will please even the fussiest kids, with delicious local cuisine served along international favourites. Specialities worth looking out for include queso asado (honey-drizzled grilled goats' cheese), papas arrugadas (salty volcanic potatoes served with garlic and mojo (a sauce made of local peppers) and ropa vieja (a stew of shredded meat and chickpeas), and of course local seafood can be marvellous.

When to go to The Canary Islands

The best time to go to the Canary Islands is outside high summer, when they can get very busy. They’re particularly wonderful in May, June, Sept and October, with pre-school children, or with school-age kids in the May and October half terms, when the temperature is more comfortable but generally still warm enough to swim and enjoy the beaches.

But the Canaries are increasingly a year-round option for those who enjoy milder temperatures for activities such as hiking and cycling, and are also popular for Christmas family holidays.

How to get to The Canary Islands

The are direct flights from the UK to the Canaries (main islands) from London and regional airports. Flights from London to Tenerife take about 4 hours.

We will include the most convenient flights for your family as part of the bespoke Canaries holiday we create for you, as well as car hire or resort transfers if desired.
