Tenerife: Forestal Park Tenerife Entry Ticket
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Forestal Park Tenerife - Las Lagunetas · Bookable on GetYourGuide
One minute you are on solid ground. The next you are climbing into the treetops of Tenerife. Forestal Park Tenerife is the island’s biggest high-ropes circuit, and it’s set in the green forest of Las Lagunetas near Teide National Park.
I love that you start with real safety training and then move on to the fun parts: rope ladders, wall climbs, and big flying moments. I also like that the park makes it easy to match the day to your ability, with circuits that run from easier options up to the more intense lines and obstacles.
One consideration: getting to the park can be tricky without your own car, since you may rely on taxi. If you’re coming from farther away on the island, plan extra time.

Forestal Park Tenerife in Las Lagunetas: treetops by Teide’s doorstep
Forestal Park Tenerife is in Las Lagunetas, inside El Rosario, with the Teide National Park area nearby. The whole experience sits in a lush, pine-covered forest, so your “view” is more than just scenery—it’s the feeling of being out in nature while still doing an adrenaline sport.
That mix matters. Many theme-park thrills feel artificial. Here, you’re moving through real outdoor elements, with the pace set by the course and your own confidence level. You’ll spend your time looking at branches, rope lines, and distant mountain glimpses rather than screens and queues.
And you’re not just “walking around.” You’re climbing. You’re crossing. You’re choosing routes. That’s why this works so well for families as well as couples and small groups: you all share the same setting, but each person can tackle the obstacles that fit them.

Your 3-hour session: from safety training to Tarzan Swings and zip lines
The session runs for about 3 hours, and it’s built around a structured progression: safety first, then obstacles, then the big aerial moments. You arrive at Forestal Park Tenerife and get an instructor-led briefing before you start climbing.
From there, you work through treetop elements like climbing walls and rope ladders. Expect elevated obstacles you navigate while clipped into the system. The goal is simple: keep you moving through the course safely while you build comfort at height.
Then come the fun hits. You’ll get chances to leap from Tarzan Swings, which is exactly the kind of moment people remember later. After that, the pace typically turns toward speed and distance, with zip lines that let you fly over the forest canopy.
If you’re thinking, will I have time for everything? In a 3-hour window, the park is designed so you don’t just “watch.” You do the activity. You get the training. You run the course. And you get multiple rides rather than one quick thrill.
Circuits and difficulty: how the park matches ages and nerve levels
One of the best parts is that you’re not forced into a one-size-fits-all route. The park has circuits with different difficulty levels, including easier and medium options often described with green and blue circuits for younger climbers.
This is where the park’s rules really help you plan. If you’re traveling with kids, you’ll want to match the course choice to the child’s height, age, and comfort. The park also has clear adult supervision ratios for children under 13, so you’ll know what staffing you need in your group:
- Ages 5–8: 1 adult for every 2 children
- Ages 9–10: 1 adult for every 5 children
- Ages 11–12: they can climb alone on easy/medium circuits (green and blue) with adult supervision for the group
There’s also hard cutoffs you need to respect. The park isn’t suitable for children under 5, and it’s not suitable for people under 110 cm (3 ft 6 in). If anyone in your group falls under those limits, the safest call is to choose a different activity.
Also, if you have a fear of heights, this is where you should be honest. This is a high-ropes treetop park. It’s not a gentle ropes walk.
Getting ready: what to wear and bring so you don’t regret it
The clothing guidance is practical, and I’m glad it’s detailed. For treetop work, comfort and grip matter more than style.
Bring:
- Closed-toe shoes (this is non-negotiable)
- Comfortable clothes that can get dirty
- A jacket (forest shade can cool you down, and weather can change)
- Gloves (you’ll thank yourself when handling ropes)
- A waterproof bag for your stuff
- A passport-sized photo
- Your ID card (a copy is accepted)
Also, wear what you can move in all day. Skip anything that restricts your ability to climb, and avoid items that could snag.
Not allowed:
- High-heeled shoes, sandals, or flip flops
- Jewelry
- Selfie sticks
- Smoking or vaping
- Alcohol and drugs
There’s something slightly funny about hearing no jewelry and still thinking you can “just take it off later.” Don’t rely on last-minute changes. If it’s worn, it might be checked. Pack it like you mean it.
Instructor help and language: English or Spanish on the course
You’ll have an instructor during the experience. Instruction is available in Spanish and English, which makes this much easier for visitors who don’t want to guess what gear checks mean while standing at height.
In practice, that matters because the course depends on correct setup and understanding how the system works. Even if you’re comfortable outdoors, you want the basics explained before you start climbing.
One thing I like is the way the experience sets you up before you arrive. You might get an advance message with weather information and activity details, so you’re not showing up clueless about what the day could feel like.
Price and value: why this $31, 3-hour entry ticket can be a good deal
At around $31 per person for a 3-hour session, Forestal Park Tenerife is priced like an experience, not a souvenir. You’re paying for instructor-led safety, access to the treetop course, and major elements like Tarzan Swings and zip lines.
The value is in the combination:
- You get structured safety support, not just a ticket and a map.
- You’re not doing one short ride. You’re doing a full treetop session where you’re actively climbing and crossing.
- You’re getting a natural setting tied to the Teide region, not a generic urban activity.
If you’re comparing this to “adventure light” options, the main difference is time and effort. Here you’ll spend your 3 hours moving through obstacles, and that’s what makes it feel worth it for many groups—especially families with kids who need real activity, not just watching.
Logistics on Tenerife: how to plan your travel to the park
Transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need a plan to get to Forestal Park Tenerife and back. If you’re staying farther from the El Rosario / Las Lagunetas area, expect you may need taxi or your own car.
This is the part that can quietly make or break your day. High-ropes activities are timing-sensitive. If you arrive late, you risk losing momentum and possibly part of your session.
So do yourself a favor: schedule extra buffer for getting there. Treat the journey like a real appointment, not a casual stroll.
Safety reality check: who should skip (and who should think twice)
The park clearly lists who it’s not suitable for. I appreciate that honesty. High-ropes means you should not gamble with health or fear.
Not suitable for:
- People with mobility impairments
- People with heart problems
- People afraid of heights
- People over 65 years
- People over 110 kg (243 lbs)
- Pregnant women
- People under 110 cm (3 ft 6 in)
- Unaccompanied minors
- Children under 5
If you’re fit, comfortable with heights, and traveling with the right supervision setup, this is a great match. If you fall into any of the categories above, it’s smarter to choose a lower-height activity and keep the day enjoyable instead of stressful.
And if you’re traveling with kids, remember that the age rules aren’t just red tape—they’re part of how the park manages risk and course assignment.
Should you book Forestal Park Tenerife?
Book it if you want an active, outdoorsy Tenerife experience where you spend your time climbing and flying. It’s especially worth it for groups that want shared adventure but also need flexibility: the course difficulty options and age/child supervision structure make it easier to plan.
Skip it if:
- heights make you tense (even a little),
- you or your group doesn’t meet the minimum height or age rules,
- or you’re dealing with health factors like heart issues or pregnancy.
If your main worry is logistics, plan your transport ahead. Get to the park on time, wear the right shoes, and pack gloves. Do that, and you’re set for a fun 3 hours in the treetops near Teide.
