Itâ€™s no exaggeration to say that winter in Europe can be tough and even downright depressing at times. From week to week it can seem like the sun barely shines, with short, cold and grey days. This can be an especially big let down for many after all the fun and festivities of Christmas and the New Year period. While at least before there were presents, plenty of delicious food and time with family to look forward to, but now winter just seems miserable. During these dull months, there is a temptation to hibernate. A far better (and much more realistic) option though, is a winter getaway for a much-needed mood boost! Tenerife is the Perfect Winter Holiday Destination If you are looking for a way to feel significantly happier again by escaping the winter blues, then there are few better options than a holiday. If you are in need of a break from the miserable weather conditions though, one issue is that much of Europe will probably not be the answer for you. While there may certainly be plenty of choices available for those who love winter sports and snowy landscapes, your options are far more limited if you are seeking somewhere with warm, sunny weather. Tenerife is So Much More Than Sun, Sand and Sea If you think you already know Tenerife and that itâ€™s really just a place to head to if youâ€™re looking for sun, sand and sea at any time of the year, with very little else to offer, then itâ€™s definitely time for you to reconsider. While it may very well be one of the most visited European destinations in the world every year, it has so much more to offer than you probably expect, even if you have been before. It is a highly underrated place to visit that will very pleasantly surprise you, despite being so internationally well known. To simply write Tenerife off as offering nothing special, or even if you do decide to go there on holiday, and not at least trying some of the amazing excursions and activities available would be a true shame. Days at the beach or by the pool are no doubt a great option if you are in need of some much-needed rest and relaxation, but these should also be combined with some of the superb experiences you can have in Tenerife such as: An Exhilarating Paragliding Flight Exhilarating Paragliding Flight Exhilarating Paragliding Flight If you are seeking something to try during your next holiday with a real adrenaline rush, then the perfect option for you in Tenerife could be an exhilarating paragliding flight. The thought of doing something like that might leave you feeling a bit nervous which of course is understandable, but forget your fear and just go for it. This is definitely one of those experiences in life that will leave you with memories that will last long after the holiday is over and perhaps for a lifetime So, instead of another day lazing at the beach or by the pool, why not head to the skies for an epic, once in a lifetime experience that will leave you feeling extremely rejuvenated with incredible views and an awesome adrenaline rush. On top of that, Tenerife is one of the best destinations in the world to try out a paragliding flight, so this is the perfect opportunity! A Sensational Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour Whale Watching Tours in Tenerife with kids Whale Watching Tours in Tenerife with kids Without a doubt, the ocean waters surrounding the Canary Islands including Tenerife, are some of the best worldwide for experiencing the incredible sight of seeing whales and dolphins living in their natural habitat, where they should be. Just like with paragliding, this is also a perfect excursion for all of the family to enjoy, making it an excellent way for kids to be able to see these beautiful creatures in the wild. To be able to witness these stunning creatures in the ocean is a unique experience that is both extremely rewarding for those of you on the tour, and ethically so much better for the whales and dolphins than them being trapped in captivity.
