Tenerife flights
There are dozens of tour operators offering cheap deals to Tenerife and most major UK airports fly into the south of Tenerife on a regular basis. Obviously prices vary according to the time of year, length of stay and area that you stay in. Because of the all year round weather there is no such thing as an off season here but flight prices do tend to rise when there are holidays in UK such as bank holidays, Easter and Christmas etc.

Tenerife car rentals
Renting a car whilst is Tenerife is one of the best and most cost effective ways of getting around the island and what it has to offer. There is a major road system that goes all around the island and if you are feeling adventurous you can drive the whole way around in a day. Although, we do recommend that you hire a car for at least a few days and take your time. Tenerife has many wonderful sights to see and you don’t want to miss any of them!

Tenerife’s climate is just about perfect! Spring temperatures dominate throughout the year. The average lies between 20-22ºC. During the cooler days the thermometer doesn't fall under 15ºC and rarely gets higher than 30ºC on the hotter days.

Tenerife has different climatic zones. In the North you can find abundant vegetation, over 2,000 meters height there are lunar like landscapes and between 1,000 and 2,000 meters extensive forests, whilst in the South there is predominantly dry and sunny weather.

Even though the West African coast, with it's dry and hot climate, is only a few kilometres away, the Canaries experience spring like temperatures the whole year. We can connect the balanced climate specially to the Passat winds coming from the Northeast and the cold sea current that comes from the North of the Canaries. Because of this stream, the temperatures sink in summer and during the winter the climate remains mild.

The season change occurs almost unnoticeably; the South of the island is regularly warmer and sunnier than the North, where the clouds of the Passat winds are sometimes blocked in the valleys, leaving humidity and dampness in the trees of the higher mountains. That's why the North of the island is much greener. Important! For excursions to the North of the island and to Teide always take a wind jacket and something in case of rain. In winter at a height of over 2.000 meters it could even snow.

So, Tenerife is the perfect place both for living and for vacations, which is why it is known as the "Island of eternal Spring"
