Custom travel agency in the Canaries

The archipelago enjoys mild weather year-round, with temperatures rarely dropping below 18°C in winter and seldom exceeding 28°C in summer. This stability is what gives the islands their reputation, but each season has its own character. From March to June, the trails of Tenerife, La Palma, and La Gomera are covered in flowering tabaibas: the ideal period for hiking. Summer remains warmer on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, where trade winds temper the dry air. Autumn, often underestimated, offers magnificent light on the Teide and still-pleasant swimming. In winter, trail running enthusiasts and whale watchers find what they're looking for, even if the peaks may receive some snow.

A trip to the Canaries remains more affordable than many other Atlantic destinations. For a ten-day stay, expect an average budget of between €1,200 and €2,200 per person excluding flights, depending on your accommodation level, the number of islands you visit, and the activities you choose. A combined itinerary across Tenerife – La Gomera – La Palma requires more logistics (ferries, car rentals, mountain guides) than a stay focused on Lanzarote. Dining at family-run guachinches or small ports like Garachico or Puerto de Mogán remains reasonably priced. The factors that most affect your Canaries trip budget are the season, flights, and whether you decide to venture to more secluded islands like El Hierro or La Graciosa.

Based in Tenerife since 2004, Canaventura was born from the meeting of two mountain guides, one French, the other Spanish, who made the archipelago their daily playground. Working with a local agency in the Canaries means relying on an English-speaking team that knows the trails of Teide, the secluded coves of La Gomera, and the skilled craftspeople of Lanzarote. We don't duplicate itineraries: each route is built from real conversations, tailored to your pace, your hiking level, and your interests. And because Canaventura is part of the Nomadays collective, your booking is made in France, in euros, with APST guarantee – administrative security, on-the-ground expertise.

Reducing the Canaries to Teide would be to miss the essential. The volcano, Spain's highest peak, is obviously worth the climb – preferably at sunrise, when its shadow projects onto the Atlantic. But it's by exploring multiple islands that you grasp the diversity of the archipelago. La Gomera and its laurel forests at Garajonay, La Palma and its observatories perched at 2,400 meters, El Hierro for its underwater depths, Lanzarote shaped by César Manrique, Fuerteventura and its Corralejo dunes. In Tenerife, you'll also love the forgotten villages of Anaga, the guachinches of the north, and the coastal trails of Teno. A good itinerary in the Canaries combines two or three islands, without rushing.
