Canary Islands

Most trips to the Canary Islands are trouble-free. While Spain, like several European countries, is under a heightened threat from terrorist attacks from various groups, recent incidents have occurred on mainland Spain only. The Canary Islands remain a safe destination for travelers.

The best months to visit the Canary Islands are during the shoulder seasons of spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). These periods offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower prices compared to the busy summer and winter peak seasons. For hot weather and lively beaches, visit in the summer (June-August), but expect more people. The winter months (December-February) are also popular for 'winter sun' and offer a slightly cooler but still sunny time to explore.

In some resorts in the Canary Islands, if you stay at an all-inclusive hotel, there is a limit of 6 alcoholic drinks per day as part of your package – 3 at lunch and 3 with evening meals. Soft drinks are unlimited at any time of day, and you can purchase additional alcoholic drinks if you wish.

The Canary Islands are a fantastic destination offering diverse landscapes, a pleasant year-round climate, and a variety of activities for different travelers. Each island boasts unique scenery, from volcanic mountains and black sand beaches to sub-tropical forests. You can enjoy a wide range of outdoor sports and activities, including hiking, whale and dolphin watching, surfing, windsurfing, and diving. The islands enjoy plenty of sunshine year-round, making them a popular destination even in winter.

The Canary Islands offer incredibly diverse landscapes. You'll find dramatic volcanic terrains like those on Lanzarote, the golden sand dunes of Fuerteventura, and lush, green forests on islands such as La Gomera and La Palma. Each island presents a unique and captivating natural environment for exploration.
