Located off the coast of north Africa, the Canary Islands consist of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuertaventura, La Palma, La Gomera and Hierro.


The ‘Canaries’ are perhaps best known for their idyllic seaside resorts and exquisite black, white and golden sand beaches - considered among the most breathtaking shores in the world.


These islands have much more to offer than just their lavish coastal charms - including mesmerising volcanic landscapes, desolately beautiful deserts, fragrant pine forests and rushing waterfalls.


Water-based activities include surfing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and boating, while those who prefer terra firma can enjoy golfing and horse riding.
