Tenerife: Forestal Park Tenerife Entry Ticket

A treetop adventure in the Canary Islands sounds simple, then Forestal Park Tenerife gets real fast, with high rope obstacles in a forest setting that feels like it starts right behind Teide National Park. I love how the course is built for different ability levels, so you are not stuck doing the hardest thing right away. I also love the mix of climbing, Tarzan-style swings, and long zip lines, so you get multiple kinds of thrills in one visit. One drawback to plan for is getting there, because transport can be tricky, so a taxi or your own car is usually the easiest route.

What makes this ticket feel like good value is that it is not just a pass into a park, it includes a proper safety training session with an instructor. You will get guidance in either Spanish or English, and the flow is designed so you start with the basics before you start jumping, swinging, and flying down the lines. If you are afraid of heights, or your body cannot handle climbing with a harness, this is probably not your day.

Forestal Park Tenerife is a strong pick for active couples and families, especially if you want something outdoors that is more hands-on than sightseeing. With a 4.7 rating from 133 reviews, the biggest wins are usually the clear instruction and the feeling of being looked after.

Key highlights at Forestal Park Tenerife

• 3-hour treetop session designed to fit a half-day mindset, without dragging on
• Thorough safety training first, then you move into climbing walls and rope ladders
• Tarzan Swings plus long zip lines for a mix of airtime and controlled thrills
• Multiple difficulty circuits so families and friends can pick a path that fits
• Forest setting in Las Lagunetas, right by El Rosario and close to Teide National Park

Forestal Park Tenerife in Las Lagunetas, close to Teide National Park

Forestal Park Tenerife is set in a lush pine forest area called Las Lagunetas, within El Rosario, and it feels like you are right at the edge of the kind of dramatic scenery people associate with Teide. Instead of looking at nature from a viewpoint, you move through it, high above the ground, with canary pines around you.

That setting matters because it changes the vibe. This is not a one-note amusement ride, it is an outdoor activity where the air, the trees, and the views above the forest are part of the experience. You will often get a better sense of Tenerife’s interior from up there than you would from the road.

The park also gives you the practical advantage of clear structure. In a treetop course, having a well-run progression is everything, and this one starts with safety training before you get on the obstacles.

Your 3-hour route, from safety briefing to zip line finish

Your ticket is for a 3-hour session, and the pacing is built around a simple rhythm: gear up, learn the system, climb to the start level, then work your way through your chosen circuit before ending on the big zip line moments.

First comes the safety briefing with an instructor. You can expect thorough instruction before you start, plus you will learn how to move on ropes and platforms while staying attached properly. This is the part that makes the rest of the experience feel manageable.

After that, you climb up using walls and rope ladders in the treetops. This is where the adventure ramps up, because you are not just walking a path, you are taking steps in a controlled, elevated environment. Once you are in position, you work through high rope obstacles at your chosen difficulty.

As the session continues, the course includes dramatic moments like leaping off Tarzan Swings and flying down expansive zip lines. You will finish with the kind of adrenaline payoff that makes the whole trip feel worth it, especially if you are coming from a week that is mostly beaches and bus rides.

Climbing walls and rope ladders: what the treetop circuits really mean

One thing you will appreciate right away is that Forestal Park Tenerife is not a single track for everyone. You are expected to choose circuits by ability, and the park is set up so you are not forced into the hardest option immediately.

In practice, that means you can plan your day like this:

• If you are new to heights or ropes, start on easier circuits and build confidence.
• If you are comfortable, you can keep moving to more challenging obstacles once you feel locked in.

The course includes treetop obstacle sections that require balance and arm strength, not just bravery. Even the “easier” lines are still part of a real adventure, so wear gear that lets you move and grip.

If you are traveling with mixed skill levels, this structure is a win. One person can push a bit, another can keep to the green or blue options, and you can still stay within the same overall 3-hour session.

Tarzan Swings and the zip line moments you will remember

The standout action for most people is the combo of Tarzan Swings and zip lines. Tarzan Swings are the “wow” element where you lean into the moment and commit to the leap. It is exciting because it is not just sliding, you are suspended and moving like a swinging pendulum.

Then the zip lines take over. The course features giant zip lines, so you get speed and distance, not just short hops. This is the kind of run where you might hear your own breathing, then realize you are grinning even while you focus on safe movement.

A practical tip: if you get nervous, focus on the exact next step. Treetop activities are easier when you stay in the present, one platform to the next, instead of trying to mentally skip ahead to the scariest moment.

Safety and instructors: what you should expect before you climb

Forestal Park Tenerife includes an instructor, and the experience starts with thorough safety training. That is not a small detail, it is the difference between fun confidence and stressful confusion.

You get instruction in either Spanish or English, which helps a lot if you are traveling with family or a group. The park also sends out pre-arrival information tied to weather, which is useful because windy or wet conditions can change how you feel about outdoor climbing.

The safety focus shows up in the rules. Jewelry is not allowed, and you will not be able to show up in sandals, flip flops, or open-toed shoes. You will also need to avoid items like selfie sticks, which tells you the park is thinking about safety and distractions.

If you have a medical issue or an injury, the “not suitable for” list is your clue. The activity is not designed for pregnant women, people with mobility impairments, people with heart problems, or anyone who is afraid of heights. If you fall into those categories, you will save yourself money and stress by choosing a different activity.

And if something unexpected happens right before your session, ask the team about options. There is evidence of staff being helpful when plans change, including offering another day when someone could not ride due to illness.

What to bring, what to wear, and what the park bans

To have a smooth session, pack like you are going to work with your hands, even though you are flying through trees.

Bring:

• Comfortable clothes
• Comfortable shoes with closed toes
• Gloves
• A jacket (outdoor temps can shift)
• Clothes that can get dirty
• A waterproof bag
• A passport-sized photo
• Your ID card, with a copy accepted

Wear:

• Closed-toe shoes only
• Something you can grip and move in

Do not bring or wear:

• High-heeled shoes
• Sandals or flip flops
• Open-toed shoes
• Jewelry
• Selfie sticks
• Anything involving smoking or vaping
• Alcohol or drugs

They also have rules about how you behave on-site:

• No alcohol and drugs
• No making fire
• No alcohol in the vehicle

That might sound strict, but it is normal for a rope course where gear and distractions matter. The goal is to keep the focus on the course, not on lost accessories or unsafe behavior.

Family planning and height rules for minors

This is a family-friendly activity when you match the rules. Forestal Park Tenerife is set for kids above certain age and size limits, and the park is clear about supervision.

Not suitable for:

• Children under 5 years
• People under 110 cm (3 ft 6 in)
• Unaccompanied minors

If your group includes kids, pay close attention to the supervision ratios for children under 13:

• Ages 5 to 8: one adult for every 2 children
• Ages 9 to 10: one adult for every 5 children
• Ages 11 to 12: they can climb alone on the easy and medium circuits (green and blue), supervised by an adult in the group

Here is a simple way to use those numbers. If you have two kids aged 5 to 8, plan on bringing one adult. If you have five kids aged 9 to 10, plan on having one adult with them. For kids aged 11 to 12, they can do green and blue circuits alone, but you still need the adult supervision structure to be in place.

Also, take the “not suitable for” list seriously for older adults and people with health concerns. Over 65 years is not recommended, and over 110 kg is not allowed.

Getting there from Tenerife: the one logistics hiccup

The park experience is great once you are there, but you should plan early for transportation. Getting to Forestal Park Tenerife can be difficult, and many people rely on a taxi or their own car.

Because the tour itself does not include transport, you are responsible for the ride to and from the park. If you are staying in a tourist area, I would not wait until the day of to figure it out. Confirm a taxi plan, or set up a driver, so the start time does not turn into a scramble.

Price value: is $31 per person worth it?

At about $31 per person for a 3-hour session, the ticket price feels fair for what you actually get. You are paying for:

• Entry to Forestal Park Tenerife for that 3-hour session
• An instructor for safety training and support

What you do not get in the price is transportation to and from the park. So your real cost is the ticket plus whatever it takes to get there.

When I look at value for an activity like this, I focus on whether the session includes the stuff that makes it safe and fun. Here, the safety briefing and instructor are part of the ticket, not an extra line item. That matters. It means you can spend your time on the course instead of figuring out the basics on your own.

If your group includes people who might get nervous, having professional instruction can be the difference between “we tried it” and “we had a good time and felt safe.”

Who should book this treetop ticket?

You will likely love Forestal Park Tenerife if you:

• Want an active outdoor day in Tenerife, not just sightseeing
• Like heights and you enjoy problem-solving on ropes
• Travel with family and want difficulty options that suit more than one person
• Are comfortable following safety rules closely

You might want to skip it if you:

• Are afraid of heights
• Have heart problems, mobility limitations, or cannot safely climb and balance
• Are pregnant
• Are traveling with children who are below 5 years or below 110 cm

It also works well for groups who want one shared activity with flexible difficulty. Everyone can experience the park without everyone needing the same level of challenge.

Should you book Forestal Park Tenerife entry tickets?

Book it if you want a well-run treetop adventure with real variety, and you are ready to follow safety guidance. The combination of walls and rope ladders, Tarzan Swings, and big zip lines is a strong mix for 3 hours, and the instructor support plus safety training is a big part of why it is worth the money.

If your main goal is a chill, low-effort day, this is probably not the match. And if you are unsure about heights, be honest with yourself before you commit. A treetop course rewards bravery, not wishful thinking.

If you do book, pack the closed-toe shoes and gloves, plan your transport in advance, and choose your circuit level early. You will get more fun out of the day when you start steady and build confidence as you go.
