exercise for families traveling on holidays with children in one of the best sun destinations in Europe

Exercise and leisure

The Canary Islands have many options for a day out with the family, where you can combine physical exercise and enjoyment. The agreeable weather conditions that can be enjoyed in the archipelago all year round, the modern infrastructures and accommodation that include various types of sports activities such as paddle, golf, tennis, football, table tennis, darts, or aqua-gym, mean that the islands are the best and most enjoyable sports centre for this holiday. Here you can enjoy a few hours of physical exercise with your children, and if they are too young, you can take them to spend a while in the children’s clubs (there are even nurseries) so that they can enjoy themselves with kids’ activities and make new friends.

The range of sports available in the Canaries is very wide. Playing golf in this region is a genuine luxury, and is the dream of even the most demanding lovers of this sport. For those who want to improve their game, there are golf schools with classes in various languages. Thanks to the climate, the sporting marinas and harbours, there is an exceptionally high number of marine sports in the Canary Islands; no other destination in Europe offers such perfect conditions all year round for these sports. Not only that, but there are also many different weather conditions that make it possible to do all different kinds of sports such as sailing, surfing, windsurfing, kite-surfing, deep-sea fishing and underwater diving in the transparent waters full of marine and plant life.

Going on holiday with the youngest members of the family needn’t stop you doing outdoor activities in which you all enjoy nature. Children and adolescents will never forget, for example, the experience of an excursion in a boat to see dolphins and whales in the middle of the ocean, which brings them closer to the fascinating animal world. But if you want your kids to enjoy nature in a more active way, then you can choose to go hiking together, go on a horse-riding trail or a bike ride, or even try activities such as parapenting or free climbing.
