The experience

The tour starts at Puerto Colon Marina, where your guide explains the history and influence of Columbus's 1492 voyage on the island while you take in the water sports and activity around you. From there, the tuk tuk moves through the zones where the guide shares the secrets and history of the area, building context for what comes next.

At Caldera del Rey (the hidden natural volcanic monument in the highest part of Costa Adeje). You stop to walk and look out over the landscape. The guide explains the geological origins of the volcanic formations, the endless banana plantations below, and the connection between the land's fertility and the history of the Guanche natives who lived in the natural caves here. The tour also passes Aqualand and Siam Park (Europe's largest water park), where the guide points out some of the best sights of Costa Adeje and the wider Canary Islands.

The tuk tuk itself is the transport for the whole route, with six seats facing and next to each other. If you book the private option, you get more comfort and space. The operator specifically notes this for anyone with mobility needs or who simply prefers not to sit close to strangers. Walking happens at each stop, so wear shoes you can move in.

What is Caldera del Rey and why does the guide spend time there?

Caldera del Rey is a hidden natural volcanic monument in the highest part of Costa Adeje.

The operator recommends the private option for anyone with reduced mobility or who wants more comfort, since the six seats face and sit next to each other.
