Tenerife Rafting Bike Excursions

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Tenerife Rafting Bike is quite unlike any other bike tour. For one thing it is downhill all the way so it doesn’t require a high level of fitness. We have had an 85 year old rafter and kids as young as 8 or 9 can manage just fine (depending on their parent’s assessment of their ability to follow our safety instructions).

We are often told at the end of the day what a wonderful time our rafters have had. Quite often they tell us it has been the highlight of their holiday but prior to coming out with us, they had no idea what to expect.

Here is a little Youtube video made by Julie of Tenerife Tattle after she joined us for a day with some visiting family. I think it gives a pretty good idea of a Rafting Bike excursion…

Rafting Bike excursions cost €40 per person and last approximately 4 hours. Places are limited so we recommend you book your Rafting Bike Excursion in advance.

Tenerife Hire Bikes – Seasonal Rate Reduction

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Sun setting over road in TenerifeThis is a lovely time of year for biking in Tenerife.  Our high quality hire bikes enable you to see Tenerife in a much more up close and personal way than if you were closed up inside a hire car the whole time. and you get an entirely different perspective of the island.

As one recent client said, “It’s funny how all the hills seem bigger by bike!”

You are able to take bikes on the bus here. They slip into the cargo bay on the side of the bus. There is a limit of two bikes per bus, but if you are exploring Tenerife as a couple, then the two of you can hop aboard a guagua and take off to visit the villages farther afield.

As Tenerife is a hilly island that will generally mean going uphill by bus and cycling downhill back to your hotel.

Our bike hire prices have just been reduced as we are now entering the cooler season. The price includes pick up and delivery to resorts in the south of the island.

Tour bikes – 1 day = €7.50, 3 day = €20, 7 day=€40

Mountain bikes – 1 day = €9, 3 day = €25, 7 day=€50

City bikes – 1 day = €12, 3 day = €30, 7 day=€55

Pro bikes – 1 day = €20, 3 day = €50, 7 day=€100

Kids bikes – 1 day = €8, 3 day = €25, 7 day=€45
