El Teide Downhill Mountain Biking Excursion
When you think of mountain biking in Tenerife, you might picture people racing down wild forest trails, chasing thrills and taking on big challenges.

It’s not extreme—there’s no off-road riding, and the bikes are simple.

Perhaps the longest bike tour without stairs in the world. This guided bike tour in Tenerife requires little effort and is suitable for all ages nine and up and for all fitness levels. Don’t worry if you are not super fit – this is the lazy way to enjoy nature.
