Getting online in Tenerife
Tenerife is covered by our Canary Islands eSIM, the same plans as on the other islands. Install it before you fly and it connects when you land at Tenerife South, for the bus, the Teide cable car booking and your maps. It's data only: your usual number stays active alongside it.
