We’ll discover recommended activities, cultural events and the natural beauty that Tenerife has in store for the autumn months, showing how you can make the most of your visit during this less crowded season.
The Ideal Weather for Discovering Tenerife in Autumn
While many regions are beginning to feel the chill of autumn, Tenerife maintains an enviably warm and stable climate that invites you to enjoy all that the island has to offer. At this time of year, temperatures range pleasantly between 20°C and 26°C, creating the perfect environment for activities both on land and at sea without the sweltering heat of summer.
Benefits of the Autumn Weather in Tenerife
- Thermal comfort: The mild climate allows visitors to explore the island in great comfort. From long walks along its nature trails to relaxing days on its less crowded beaches, autumn offers the ideal balance for maximum enjoyment without weather worries.
- Less rainfall: Unlike many areas of Europe, autumn in Tenerife is characterised by a low probability of rainfall. This ensures that outdoor plans are rarely interrupted by the weather, allowing for safer and more enjoyable holiday planning.
- Unobstructed views: With fewer tourists on the island, scenic spots and places of interest offer clearer, unobstructed views. In addition, the fresh, crisp autumn air improves the clarity and quality of photographs, a plus for landscape capture enthusiasts.
This ideal climate not only makes Tenerife a perfect refuge from the autumn chill but also an excellent choice for those who wish to discover the island in a different, quieter and more accessible light.
Not to be missed activities in Tenerife in Autumn
The mild weather and reduced crowds make autumn an ideal time to explore Tenerife through a variety of outdoor activities. Here are some of the best ways to make the most of this serene season on the island.
Autumn Landscape Trekking
- Teide National Park: Take advantage of the cooler temperatures to climb Spain’s highest peak. Hiking routes here are especially enjoyable in autumn, when the change of season adorns the park with vibrant colours and the air is clear, offering breathtaking panoramic views.
- Laurisilva forests in Anaga: This ancient forest offers a magical experience with its morning mist and trails covered with fallen leaves. It is a perfect place for photographers and nature lovers looking for deep contact with virtually untouched surroundings.
Discovering Wine Culture
- Wine Routes: Autumn coincides with the harvest season, and what better way to celebrate than by visiting some of the local wineries in La Matanza de Acentejo. Discover how Canarian wines are produced and enjoy tastings that will introduce you to unique varieties from the region.
Water Adventures in Autumn
- Surfing and Kitesurfing: With ideal winds and fewer crowds on the beaches, autumn is perfect for water sports such as surfing and kitesurfing. The beaches in the north of Tenerife, such as El Socorro in Los Realejos, are known for their excellent conditions for these sports during this season.
Cetacean Watching
- Boat Excursions: The waters around Tenerife are famous for being a meeting point for dolphins and whales. Autumn is an excellent time to embark on a sea excursion, enjoying the pleasant weather and the opportunity to spot these magnificent creatures in a more intimate setting.
These activities not only take advantage of the ideal conditions offered by autumn, but also allow visitors to enjoy experiences that are more difficult to enjoy at other times of the year due to high temperatures or tourist overload.
