What you'll see and do
Mirador de Garachico
We begin the tour with a stop at the Garachico Viewpoint, one of the most spectacular balconies over Tenerife's north coast. You'll have time for a coffee, a quick restroom break, and to take in panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the dramatic cliffs that frame this stretch of coastline — the perfect start to a day exploring the island's most authentic north.
15 minutes here
Buenavista del Norte
Next, we head into Buenavista del Norte, one of Tenerife's most charming and lesser-known towns. We'll stroll through its peaceful streets, soaking up the authentic atmosphere of a farming town that has kept its traditional character intact, far off the usual tourist routes — a perfect stop for travelers who want to experience the real Tenerife.
30 minutes here
Charco Los Chochos
We arrive at Playa Sibora, in Los Silos, home to one of the most curious and photographed spots in northern Tenerife: the skeleton of a bowhead whale, displayed by the sea amid striking volcanic rock formations. A one-of-a-kind place where nature and curiosity combine to give you one of the most original snapshots of your trip.
30 minutes here
Los Silos
We'll visit a genuine banana plantation, where you'll discover firsthand the history and growing process behind one of the Canary Islands' most iconic products. You'll learn why Canarian bananas are so different from the rest and understand just how important this crop is to the islands' economy and identity — a genuine agricultural experience, off the beaten tourist track.
30 minutes here
Garachico
We finish the route in Garachico, considered one of the most beautiful towns in Tenerife. You'll have free time to wander its cobbled streets, admire its historic architecture, and discover some of its most iconic corners, plus free time to grab lunch on your own before heading back to your accommodation.

North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.
Is North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does North Tenerife: Garachico & Banana Plantation with Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tenerife?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tenerife?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
