Best time for cruises from Tenerife

There’s never really a bad time to visit Tenerife and the Canary Islands, with the weather warm and enjoyable almost year-round. Between June and September, these islands are hot and dry, making it the perfect time of year to cruise here if you’re looking to soak up the sunshine on the Canary Islands’ sandy beaches.

However, you may want to consider cruising either side of this popular period, especially if you’re planning on embarking on active shore excursions throughout your getaway. The weather will still be warm enough to enjoy, but popular tourist hotspots will be less crowded, and you won’t have to worry as much about overheating.

It’s worth noting that those hoping to enjoy some whale-watching while cruising around the Canary Islands will want to travel during the winter months; this is when it's best, though you will be foregoing some sunshine.
