3 Hour VIP Private Luxury Boat Charter in Tenerife
Best for: travelers who want a short private outing with swimming, snorkeling, and wildlife viewing from the coast
This private charter is the shortest of the three options and is centered on the sea rather than land sightseeing. The route follows Tenerife’s coastline, with time spent looking for marine life and then stopping in a secluded natural bay for swimming and snorkeling. The trip also includes onboard refreshments and a food platter, so it works well if you want a more leisurely private outing without a long day on the move. It does not include hotel pickup or drop-off, and wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, so the experience is best viewed as a scenic private cruise with activity rather than a fixed-sightseeing tour.
3 Hour VIP Private Luxury Boat Charter in Tenerife
- Includes snorkeling equipment and onboard safety equipment.
- Pairs wildlife viewing with a swim and snorkel stop.
- Adds drinks, a cold platter, and crew service onboard.

Mount Teide and Tenerife North with Food & Wine Tasting Private Tour
Best for: travelers who want a private sightseeing day with landscape viewing, winery time, and a food-and-wine component
This is the longest and most itinerary-driven option, designed for travelers who want an inland private tour rather than a beach or boat experience. It focuses on the landscapes of Teide National Park, then continues down the valley of La Orotava to a winery in El Sauzal. The confirmed inclusions are especially clear here: private guide, private transport, winery visit, and a food tasting with three wines. The tour does not include museum entries or the Teide cable car, and there is no time for the cable car during the day. It suits people who want a fuller private sightseeing day with a strong food-and-wine focus.
Mount Teide and Tenerife North with Food & Wine Tasting Private Tour
- Includes private transport in a luxury electric vehicle.
- Combines a licensed private guide with a guided winery visit.
- Confirms a winery meal paired with three wines.
Compare if you want a private, hands-on activity rather than a tour.
Private Double Surf Lesson
Best for: couples, friends, or parent-and-child pairs who want personalized instruction in the water
This experience is a private lesson for two people, so it is different from the sightseeing style of the boat charter and the winery tour. The emphasis is on coaching, with a personalized session that includes warm-up, beach theory, and time in the water. The location is described as a hidden surf spot, and the setup begins at the shop close to the shore, which makes the format simple and time-efficient. Included gear covers the main surf essentials, along with insurance and taxes. It is best for travelers who want active instruction and close attention rather than a broader tour program.
Private Double Surf Lesson
- Private instructor adapts the lesson to your pace.
- Includes surfboard, wetsuit, surf shoes, leash, and lycras.
- Keeps the session centered on a small two-person group.
Choosing the right Tenerife itinerary style
For a short private outing, the boat charter keeps the day compact and coastal. For a longer sightseeing plan, the Teide-and-winery tour gives you the most built-in structure, while the surf lesson fits travelers who want an active session for two rather than a full tour day.
Coastal cruise and bay stop
Cruises along the Tenerife coast, heads into open Atlantic waters, and stops in a secluded natural bay before returning toward Puerto Colon.
Teide, La Orotava, and winery route
Moves from Teide National Park through the La Orotava valley to a winery in El Sauzal, with guided winery time and a tasting meal.
Hidden surf spot session
Begins at the shop near the shore and continues to a secluded surf location for coaching, warm-up, and time in the water.

Tenerife booking checklist
- Check what is included before booking, since each experience confirms different extras and leaves some items excluded.
- Pay attention to the group format: one is a boat charter, one is a private land tour, and one is designed specifically for two people.
- If you need transfers, entry tickets, or a cable car, verify those separately because they are not confirmed on every option.
