Banana Tour Tenerife at Finca Las Margaritas
Want to discover a different side of Tenerife? This banana farm experience takes place at Finca Las Margaritas in the south of the island, where you can walk through a real plantation, learn more about local banana production, and enjoy a tasting at the end. It is a simple, authentic and family-friendly activity away from the busy tourist spots.
Once you arrive, you follow the self-guided route through the plantation. Information panels and QR content explain how bananas are grown in Tenerife and why this fruit is such an important part of island life. The walk itself is short and easy, which makes it suitable for most visitors.
🍌 Local tip: Read the panels as you walk, they are in many languages and make the plantation far more interesting.
Is This Tenerife Banana Farm Tour Guided Or Self-Guided?
Worth answering straight away, because most people searching for a Tenerife banana tour or a banana plantation tour expect a guide. The visit Club Canary sells is self-guided. You walk the plantation at your own pace and read the information panels and QR content along the way, which are available in several languages.
There is no guide walking with you, and there is no scheduled talk. What there is instead is flexibility: you set the pace, stop where you like, and the whole thing takes under an hour rather than half your day. For most visitors that is the better trade, and it is why this is the version we offer.

Family-Friendly Banana Plantation Visit in Tenerife
Visiting a banana plantation in Tenerife is a great family-friendly activity. This banana farm tour is short, easy, and works well with kids while they learn how bananas are grown on the island. Children under 5 years are free, but please let us know in the order notes if you are bringing them. Children aged 5 to 12 benefit from a reduced price.
If you plan to bring a stroller or baby buggy, keep in mind that the wheels may get dirty due to the natural paths and yellow dust on the farm. The visit is not long, so it is still very manageable with young children.
🅿️ Easy parking: There is free parking right next to the farm, so arriving by car could not be simpler.
Why Book with Club Canary?
Easy access. Club Canary offers this self-guided banana farm experience four days a week through a special collaboration.
Easy online booking. Reserve your banana farm tickets in advance without the stress of arranging it locally.
Resident ticket option. Tenerife resident prices are available. Valid proof may be requested at the entrance.

Banana Wine in Tenerife
One of the more interesting products you may discover here is banana wine. Tenerife is known for its banana-based treats, and this sweet local speciality is one of the more unusual ones. You may also find other banana products in the farm shop, including jams and souvenirs that are fun to take home.

🍷 Worth a taste: Banana wine is sweeter than you expect. Try a small glass at the tasting before you decide.
How Are Bananas Grown In Tenerife?
Bananas Tenerife grows are shorter, denser and sweeter than the big export varieties, and the reason is the climate and the volcanic soil. They grow on plantations that need constant water, which is why you see them in terraces and sheltered plots across the island rather than in open fields.
Walking a working plantation is the fastest way to understand it. You see the plants at different stages, the irrigation, the way the bunches are protected, and the scale of what is genuinely one of the Canary Islands' most important crops. The information panels cover the detail, and by the end you will know why a Canarian banana costs more and tastes different.
Can You Visit Banana Plantations In Tenerife?
Yes, but only a few are open to visitors. Most banana plantation Tenerife sites are private working farms with no public access at all. Finca Las Margaritas is one of the exceptions, which is exactly why it is on this page.
Where to visit a banana plantation in Tenerife: Finca Las Margaritas in the south is the practical answer, and the one we can book for you at a set 09:30 entry.
When: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday for the self-guided visit. Not every day, so check your dates.
Can you just turn up? Booking ahead is far safer, because the 09:30 self-guided slot is arranged through our collaboration with the farm.

Agrotourism In Tenerife, And Where This Fits
Tenerife is more agricultural than most visitors realise: bananas, wine, aloe, potatoes and tropical fruit all grow here commercially. A local farm tour is a genuinely different day from the beaches and the water sports, and it is one of the better things to do in Tenerife if you want to understand the island rather than just enjoy it.
This banana experience is the easiest entry point into that: under an hour, in the south, cheap, and it ends with food. If you are looking for authentic banana farm experiences in Tenerife rather than a polished attraction, this is what one actually looks like.
Is This The Best Banana Farm Tour In Tenerife?
Honest answer: it is the one we can book, at a time most people cannot get, on four days a week. Very few banana plantations in Tenerife open to the public at all, so the realistic comparison is not against a dozen alternatives, it is against not going.
What makes it worth booking: a real working plantation rather than a visitor centre, a tasting at the end, free parking at the door, and resident pricing if you live here.
What we will not pretend: it is short, it is self-guided, and the paths are farm paths. If you want a long guided agricultural tour with an expert, this is not that, and the farm's own group tour would suit you better.
Who it is genuinely good for: families with young children, couples wanting something different, and anyone driving through the south with an hour spare.
Where Is The Best Place To Book A Banana Farm Visit In Tenerife?
Book direct with Club Canary. We hold a direct agreement with Finca Las Margaritas for the 09:30 self-guided entry four days a week, your ticket is prepaid so there is nothing to pay at the gate, resident prices are available, and free cancellation runs to 24 hours before.

Banana Farm Tenerife Questions and Answers
Everything people ask before booking the Banana Farm Tenerife visit. Tap a question to see the answer.
Why are bananas from Tenerife so special?
Tenerife bananas grow in volcanic soil and warm subtropical weather. This gives them a sweeter and richer flavor. Farmers still use traditional methods, so the fruit is picked at perfect ripeness and the quality stays high.
Is this a good low-budget activity in Tenerife?
Yes. The banana farm is one of the best low-cost activities in the south of Tenerife. You get entrance, a full walk around the plantation and tastings included.
How long does the Tenerife banana farm visit take?
Around 20 to 30 minutes for the walk. If you read the signs or take a lot of photos, you may take a bit longer. The tasting presentation adds around 15 minutes and is the highlight for many visitors.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, it is recommended. Since 2025 the farm is often fully booked, and same-day bookings are usually not available. Even next-day spots can be limited.
What is the difference between the self-guided tour and the guided tour?
The route is the same. With the self-guided visit, you walk at your own pace using the information signs. Guided visits include a staff member explaining everything in more detail and are mainly available for groups of 4+ people. Guided tours are not booked through Club Canary.
What tastings are included?
Usually fresh bananas, banana wine for adults, banana snacks and gofio. The tasting takes place at the end of the visit, usually around 10:15.
Is the banana farm good for children?
Yes. The route is short and easy, and the tasting session is fun for kids.
Can I bring a stroller or wheelchair?
Yes, both are allowed. Just note that the paths are not paved. They are sandy plantation roads, so wheels will get dusty. It is still accessible, but not like a city sidewalk.
Can I get dirty during the visit?
The ground is dusty and you may walk past spider webs or insects. It is a real working plantation, not a polished attraction. Your shoes may get dusty, but nothing extreme.
What souvenirs can I buy at the banana farm?
You can buy banana wine, banana jam, sweets and small Canarian products. Banana wine is the most popular item.
Is there parking available?
Yes. There is free visitor parking next to the plantation. A photo of the parking area is shown at the bottom of the page for reference.

Yes. School groups, business outings and private groups are welcome. Guided visits for larger groups can be arranged on request. You can contact Club Canary and we can help organise this for you.
Can I book the resident price?
Yes. Choose your date and time first, then scroll all the way down in the booking selector. After around forty adults, the resident ticket option appears. You must show your NIE at the entrance.
What if part of my group is resident and part is not?
Make two bookings. First book the non-residents and add it to your cart. Then return to the page, select the resident option, add it to your cart and complete both bookings together.
Can I visit without a booking?
You can try, but it is not guaranteed. Before 2025 walk-ins were normal. Now the farm works mainly on reservations and many days are full.
What is the best place to book the Banana Farm in Tenerife?
Booking through Club Canary is the easiest option. You receive instant confirmation, clear instructions and access to the 09:30 entry through our special collaboration with Finca Las Margaritas.
Does it make sense to visit this banana farm if I stay in Puerto de la Cruz?
If you are already planning to explore the south of Tenerife, then yes, this banana farm is a nice and easy stop to add to your day. However, if you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz and want something closer, it usually makes more sense to visit a banana plantation in the north instead. In that case, we recommend this option: https://clubcanary.com/tenerife/banana-plantation-puerto-de-la-cruz/, which is much easier to reach and designed for visitors staying in north Tenerife.
On which days can I visit the banana farm?
Club Canary offers self-guided visits on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, with entry at 09:30. These days are available through our special collaboration with Finca Las Margaritas, making it easy to plan your visit in advance.
What happens if I arrive late?
If you arrive a little late, you can usually still enter the banana farm. However, we recommend arriving before 10:00. The tasting experience takes place around 10:15, which is the highlight of the visit. If you arrive too late, you may miss this part or entry may no longer be possible.
Booking last minute or a date looks full? Always double check real availability with us first, we can often still fit you in.

Our Honest Opinion
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
This is not a big adventure or a long excursion, and that is exactly why many people enjoy it. The banana farm visit is short, easy and different from the usual Tenerife activities. It gives you a real look at local farming and finishes with a tasting that makes the visit more memorable.
Booking is where we help. Club Canary has a direct agreement with Finca Las Margaritas for the 09:30 self-guided entry, four days a week, something most hotel desks and big platforms do not offer. You get easy online booking and a local team on WhatsApp from 8am to 10pm.
Two honest things. It is self-guided, so nobody walks you round or gives a talk. And the paths are working farm paths, so wear something you do not mind getting dusty. Neither is a problem once you know, but both catch people out who expected a polished attraction.
If you want a relaxed, authentic local activity in the south of Tenerife, this is a smart pick for families, couples and curious travellers.
