LONDON, December 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
With plenty of exciting things to do and see all year round
complimented by warm weather whatever the season, the Canary
Islands provide the perfect opportunity for active family fun in
the sun.
In fact, with so many great hiking routes, water sports,
swimming and bicycle trails, the stunning, diverse and welcoming
Canary Islands guarantee a fun-filled and action-packed holiday for
all the family.
Leading travel operators, Thomas
Cook, look at some of the best family activities on the
Canary Islands to keep you active this holiday season:
Tenerife
Being surrounded by beaches providing soft sand, safe bathing
and a plethora of quality water sports, Tenerife holidays
are renowned for being great family holidays. In fact Tenerife has
been cited as the island of water sports.
If you want to get your kids active on their 2013 holiday then
Tenerife's Atlantic coastline is a haven for snorkelling, diving,
surfing, windsurfing and kite boarding.
Whilst the more dangerous watersports such as jet skiing and
wind surfing are only suitable for older children, with its many
great seaside fun parks and safe bathing areas, this
family-friendly island caters for every age.
Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is a beautiful island that is doused in sunshine
virtually all year round. With lakeside tracks, mountain trails,
sparsely inhabited cave villages and stunning vistas every way you
look, Gran Canaria is a paradise for hiking.
If you want to get the family active then walking through this
magnificently mountainous island and exploring the plethora of
paths may prove to be the healthy holiday activity you are looking
for.
Lanzarote
For cheap holidays to Lanzarote look no further than
Thomas Cook who offer quality
holidays on all of the Canary Islands. With more than 100 beaches
ranging from black lava rock pebbles to fine white sand, if you
want to encourage the family to get active in the water on holiday
then Lanzarote is a great place to plunge into the warm and crystal
clear water.
Fuerteventura
The rising trend for family orientated activity holidays has
certainly made its way to the island of Fuerteventura. With
a maze of fantastic cycling routes that wind through hillside
villages, over mountain ridges and across more gentle coastal
paths, this scenically sensational island provides a great
landscape for travellers of all ages to get their blood
pumping.
