Tenerife : Musical show “the wild south” with dinner and transfer
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by TRIBUTE NIGHTS · Bookable on GetYourGuide
A night with real country music beats a typical dinner. The Wild South turns Tenerife’s South into an old-west saloon show with fully live performances and a Dolly Parton and Shania Twain tribute built into the story.
I especially like the mix of stage talent and movement: actors, dancers, and acrobats keep the energy up all evening. I also like that you’re not just watching, you’re part of the fun, with mechanical bull entertainment included. One thing to consider: the food is described as good, but dessert quality can be hit-or-miss, so plan the dessert as a bonus, not the main event.

Key things to know before you go

- Old West Saloon setting: it is staged like a working saloon, not a generic theater.
- Dolly Parton and Shania Twain tribute: the show leans into big country pop icons.
- Live country music: actors and musicians work together in real time.
- Acrobatics and dance routines: lots of movement, not just singing.
- Mechanical bull included: you get a hands-on moment if you want it.
- Hotel pickup in Tenerife’s South: transfer is included from listed pickup areas.
Entering an Old West Saloon vibe in Tenerife

The Wild South is built around one core idea: make dinner feel like an event. Instead of sitting down at a restaurant and waiting for a separate show, you get a story that plays out around you inside an authentic Old West Saloon style venue.
The atmosphere matters here. The set design and the way the performers use the space help you feel like you are in the middle of the action. There is a plot, characters circulate, and the entertainment is staged as a complete evening rather than a timed sequence of songs.
The show is described as fully live country music, with actors, dancers, and acrobats. That combo is the main draw if you want a night that feels like live theater plus music, not just a concert.

The live country music set: Dolly and Shania energy

This is a tribute night, so the music is structured around the sound people associate with Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. You get the sense that the audience experience is designed around recognition and big country moments, with characters guiding the story as the music comes in.
I like this format because it lowers the “will I enjoy this?” risk. Even if country music is not your everyday genre, Dolly and Shania are recognizable names, and tribute nights usually focus on the strongest-known material. One real caution from an earlier experience report: the singer was felt to need more of the biggest, better-known songs. If you are the type who wants the exact hits you expect, go in with that in mind and treat this as a live show that may mix in a few less-standard choices.
Still, the overall impression of the band and the performance energy is positive. The music does the heavy lifting, and the rest of the cast and choreography support it.
Dinner with a story: how the evening actually flows

Dinner is not an awkward pause here. The plot is presented while you eat, with characters moving you through the narrative. A key character is the saloon madam, described as charming and central to guiding the story, and the evening is set up so you feel like you are part of the saloon world.
That matters if you dislike rigid, formal shows where you only pay attention during the loudest parts. Here, you have something happening while you eat: performance beats, character interaction, and stage action.
Expect a full evening setup with live music, theatrical performances, dancing, and acrobatics happening through the same session. Your time is measured in show duration, not in separate dining and entertainment blocks.
Golden vs Platinium dinner: choosing the right seating level

You get two dining and seating options: Golden or Platinium. The exact differences are not spelled out in the info, but the intent is clear: you can pick a level that fits how close you want to be, and what dining experience you prefer.
If your top priority is the overall show experience, I would treat the seating tier as your “visibility” decision. If you like being able to see performers clearly and not miss facial expressions during the comedy and character moments, choosing the higher tier usually makes sense.
If you are watching mostly from the vibe and you do not mind being a bit farther away, the lower option can still work well because the show is designed to keep the whole room engaged. Either way, dinner is included with your selected level.
Mechanical bull and audience participation: fun with one caveat

The show includes a mechanical bull, and the evening is described as having active audience participation. In practice, that means this is not a sit-and-stare production. There are moments where the show invites the audience to react, and the mechanical bull gives you a literal way to join in.
This is a good feature for groups and for anyone who likes playful, slightly chaotic entertainment. It also helps break up the evening so it stays lively between the major song and dance numbers.
One caution: if you are booking with someone who does not want to be involved, you still can watch from your seat. The info does not say everyone must participate, but it does say the evening includes active participation. So it is worth matching the tour to your group’s comfort level.

Hotel pickup timing in Tenerife’s South: keep it simple

Pickup is included from hotels in Tenerife’s South, and this is one of the practical strengths of the experience. The info says the transfer time depends on your pickup point, with pickup between 18:30 and 19:15, and the show starts at 20:00.
Here is the practical takeaway: when you book, you should enter your hotel name during checkout. The supplier confirms the exact pickup point and exact time based on where you are picked up.
One experience report highlights how efficient the pickup was and that it felt safe. That is exactly what you want on a night when you do not want to worry about traffic, parking, or getting lost.
If you plan dinner plans elsewhere, skip anything that requires a late start. You will want to be ready for pickup, because your evening is built around the show start at 20:00.
Performers, stunts, and stagecraft: why the action holds attention

The Wild South is not just a tribute concert. It is described as having actors, dancers, and acrobats, and you should expect stage movement to be part of the evening’s rhythm.
That combination is why this kind of show tends to work for lots of people. Songs keep you anchored. Dancing adds visual structure. Acrobatics add surprise. Actors and the story add context so the show feels like it is evolving, not repeating.
Even the way one earlier description puts it makes sense: the music and characters help set the scene. That is the point of doing a saloon-style venue, not a plain hall. You get story and performance together.
Food quality: what to expect from the dinner

Dinner is included with your selected Golden or Platinium option. One earlier experience described the food as good, while also saying the dessert was not great. That tells me two things as you plan your evening.
First, you can treat dinner as a satisfying start to the show, not a chore. Second, if dessert is something you usually care about, go in with flexible expectations. You might still enjoy it, but do not plan the night around it.
The smart move is to think of dinner as fuel for a 2–3 hour evening that runs on performances. If you like hearty, simple food paired with entertainment, you will likely be happy. If you are very dessert-focused, keep your standards realistic.
Languages and comfort: what helps you feel at ease

The driver is listed as English and Spanish speaking, and the languages for the experience are also English and Spanish. That makes the evening easier to follow, especially during the storytelling portions where characters guide you through the plot.
Wheelchair access is listed, which is a real plus when choosing shows in older-style venues. The info does not describe the exact layout, but the accessibility claim means you should not have to skip this experience solely on mobility concerns.
If you are traveling with someone who needs clear communication, English/Spanish coverage is at least part of what you can count on.
Special occasions: a small perk worth using
If it is your birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion, there is special treatment. The info does not say what form that takes, but it does confirm they recognize those moments.
If this matters to you, you should flag it when booking. Even a small acknowledgment can turn a normal show night into something you remember more clearly.
Value check: why this is more than a ticket for a show
This experience bundles several things that usually cost extra when booked separately:
- pickup bus in Tenerife’s South
- dinner (Golden or Platinium)
- mechanical bull entertainment
- the concerts and show
So the value angle is not just the entertainment. It is the fact that your evening logistics are handled for you. In Tenerife’s South, transportation can be the difference between a smooth night and a stressful one. Here, pickup is included, and the show start time is fixed at 20:00.
Also, you are not choosing between dinner or a show. You get both in the same sitting, with a narrative thread that keeps the timing from feeling disjointed.
Should you book The Wild South?
Book it if you want a fun, performer-led country music night in Tenerife’s South, with a saloon setting, live music, and plenty of movement from dancers and acrobats. It is especially appealing if you like tribute-style shows built around big recognizable names like Dolly Parton and Shania Twain.
Skip it or think twice if you are very picky about song selection and mostly want the exact biggest radio hits. One earlier experience did note that the singer should stick more to better-known material, so fans with strict expectations might be less satisfied. Also, if dessert is a big part of your dinner experience, treat it as optional rather than essential.
If your priority is a straightforward evening where pickup is included and the show runs with dinner attached, this is a strong candidate.
