Four of Spain’s seven major national nature reserves are located among this volcanic archipelago – the volcanic crater of Mount Teide on Tenerife and Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park being just two. From foodie treasures to sipping the cream of the crop at Europe’s only coffee plantation, there's plenty more of this culinary Canary wonder on P&O Cruises Canary Island holidays.
You can taste wine from a volcanic vineyard in Lanzarote, walk the black sands of Fuerteventura and explore the National Parks of La Palma - each day can offer a different experience on a cruise to the Canary Islands.
You can island-hop, city-swap and explore all that the region has to offer. And while there is undoubtedly more to enjoy than the beaches and blue skies, some days the turquoise waters and mountain-backed shores might just prove irresistible.
The Canary Islands are rightly famed for their abundant sunshine and sandy shores, but these dynamic destinations offer so much more than winter-sun or beach-based breaks. Leave the sun-lounger behind and treat your senses to a world of eye-opening culture, mouth-watering cuisine and hair-raising adventure with these local experiences.
The Canary Islands boasts beautiful beaches aplenty, and some of the best can be found near the north-eastern resort of Corralejo in Fuerteventura. Beyond the glorious stretch of golden sand is a protected park with miles of constantly shifting dunes.
In the Canary Islands, you’ll marvel at many natural wonders as you explore the wild interiors and coastlines. You can hike Tenerife's rugged Anaga Mountains, explore a volcanic vineyard in Lanzarote to exploring the National Parks of La Palma.
