Haven't been to the Canary Islands before but heading there for the first time later this year. If you're staying on Tenerife the entire time, the highlights seem to be:
- Mount Teide volcano in the middle. Can hike around it, or go up the cable car.
- Siam Park (water park) in the SW, one of the highest rated in the world
- Beaches and whale/dolphin watching out of Costa Adeje (also SW)
- Some nice towns in the NW with nice hikes in the area as well. Roads start to get slower and less travelled around this part of Tenerife compared to the ultra-touristy SW.
- Some beautiful looking hikes and views in the NE. San Cristóbal de La Laguna is the nicest town to stay in around here.
- Rental car prices are reasonable. CICAR and Auto Reisen seem to be the best.
