Tenerife & Gran Canaria: 9-Day Island Escape

The package includes round-trip international flights, the inter-island flight from Tenerife to Gran Canaria, 8 nights of hotel accommodation (4 nights in Tenerife and 4 nights in Gran Canaria), airport transfers on arrival and departure on both islands, expert trip manager support, and all taxes and fees related to the booking. Rental cars, meals, guided tours, and city taxes are not included unless stated otherwise during the booking process.

You spend 4 nights in Tenerife and 4 nights in Gran Canaria. In Tenerife, you'll have time for Teide National Park, the historic town of La Orotava, and the coastal village of Garachico. On Day 5, you fly to Gran Canaria, where you can explore Las Palmas and its Vegueta old town, the Maspalomas Dunes, Puerto de Mogán, and Playa de Amadores. The day-by-day itinerary is a set of suggestions, and the number of nights on each island can be adjusted on request.

The connection between the two islands is a short domestic flight of about 30 to 40 minutes. It's included in the package, along with transfers between the airport and your hotel on both islands. If you'd rather travel by ferry, contact the Yes Getaways team before booking to discuss options.

If your flight between the islands is cancelled or significantly delayed, the Yes Getaways team will help you rebook the earliest available connection and adjust your hotel stay if needed. Contact the team as soon as you are aware of any disruption. An emergency contact number is provided in your trip documents for situations outside office hours.

Yes, round-trip international flights and the inter-island flight are included. The package price varies depending on your departure airport. Other departure cities are available on request. Checked luggage is not always included and depends on the airline and fare type. Confirm what is included and add luggage during the booking process. Seat selection and cabin class upgrades can be arranged as paid add-ons, subject to availability.

Hotels are selected on both islands for comfort, location, and value. In Tenerife, accommodations can be in the north or south of the island, and in Gran Canaria they are typically in Las Palmas or the southern beach areas. The package price varies depending on the hotel selected. Upgrades are available on request or by clicking "Change hotels" during the booking process.

No rental car is included, but airport transfers are included on both islands. A rental car is the most practical way to reach places like Teide National Park, Garachico, or Puerto de Mogán at your own pace, and it can be added at an additional cost. Public buses (known locally as guaguas) and taxis are also available on both islands. If you plan to drive, carry your US driver's license together with an International Driving Permit, which is required in Spain for US license holders.

Breakfast is not included by default, but it can be added during the booking process or requested from the Yes Getaways team, depending on the hotel.

No. This is an independent island package, and the day-by-day itinerary is a set of suggestions. Activities such as guided visits to Teide, whale and dolphin watching, or boat trips are optional and at additional cost. They can be added during the booking process or at any point after booking.

The Canary Islands are known for their mild, spring-like climate all year round. Winter (November to March) averages around 68°F (20°C), making it a popular winter escape. Spring and fall are warm and pleasant at around 72-75°F (22-24°C). Summer (June to September) is the warmest at around 79-82°F (26-28°C), ideal for beach days. Temperatures at the summit of Teide are much colder than on the coast, especially in winter, so pack a warm layer for that day.

No. Where they apply, local tourist taxes are not included and are paid directly at the accommodation. Not all areas charge them, and the rules can change.

The package price is based on two travelers sharing a room, so solo travelers pay a single supplement. You can check solo pricing by changing the number of guests from 2 to 1 in the booking calendar before clicking See Dates and Prices. The Yes Getaways team can also add nights, change the split between islands, include rental cars or experiences, or extend your trip with a stay in Madrid, Barcelona, or Lisbon. Additional costs may apply.

The Canary Islands are part of Spain and are a safe, well-established vacation destination. US passport holders do not currently need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen Area. The EU is introducing ETIAS, an online travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers, so check whether it is required before you travel. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your departure date from the Schengen Area. Entry requirements are the traveler's responsibility and can change.

Your package includes expert trip manager support during office hours. Outside office hours, an emergency contact number is provided in your trip documents. For local emergencies in Spain, dial 112.
