A guide to the island

TenerifeHoliday Guide

Weronika Petruczenko · Marcin Wawrzyniak

The raw black coasts of the north wrapped in a sea of clouds, and the sun-baked golden sands of the south. This guide walks you across the island from the ocean up to the mountains, with no internet, at your own pace.

Before you even fly out

The app is useful as a planner before departure and as a navigator once you are there, so you plan your sightseeing on purpose, still in the plane seat or over coffee at home.

Plan before departure

Island Essentials answers the questions that usually only come up on the ground: what to pack, travelling with children, currency and the IGIC tax, SIM and roaming, the time zone, insurance and the EHIC card.

Navigate on the ground

Car hire and the TITSA buses (guagua), alcohol and local law, siesta and opening hours, digital safety and the island-specific haze called calima.

Explore with no internet

Every description, photo and the map are inside the app. You need no signal and no roaming, which matters in Anaga and on the Teno roads where there simply is none.

What you will find inside

The island split into what really matters

01 — Beaches

30 beaches with a personal write-up

The story of the place, its character, curiosities and honest warnings, grouped by the island's five coastlines.

02 — Trails

30 hiking routes

From a one-hour walk on an old volcano to a four-day traverse of the island.

03 — Food

37 guachinches and restaurants

17 dishes with recipes and the drinks of Tenerife: Ron Miel, mistela, local wines.

04 — Charcos

30 natural pools

Volcanic pools carved by the ocean: turquoise water, black lava.

05 — Must-see

13 places off the trail

A volcano, the stars, a colonial old town, the sanctuary of the island's patron saint.

06 — History and essentials

Facts, not guesswork

The conquest and the Guanches, the legends of Teide, local law, safety in the ocean.

Collect points by actually going

Not for a tap. For being there.

The app recognises when you are really at a beach, trail or restaurant from the guide, and adds points, more for the wild and harder-to-reach places.

  • +5 for an easy place, close to the road
  • +15 for a place that needs a drive or a climb
  • +30 for a wild, hard-to-reach place

You share your score with friends on a single card styled like the app cover.

Comfort and privacy

Privacy

You need no signal and no roaming

Mind the ocean

Every beach entry has concrete notes on the conditions: where the lifeguard sits, where the red flags fly, where the current can pull you out to open sea. Waves on the north coast reach several metres. That knowledge matters more than a nice photo.

Who writes this

Not from machine translation

Weronika lived on Tenerife from 2015 and ran a guest house here until 2022, and knows these places first-hand, not from an article copied off the internet.
