Start on Tenerife for volcanoes and beaches, ferry to walker’s-paradise La Gomera, then Gran Canaria’s dunes and finally arty, lava-carved Lanzarote. Short hops, warm water, year-round sun.
Why it works
The islands are genuinely different: Tenerife has the volcano and the nightlife, La Gomera the walking, Gran Canaria the dunes, Lanzarote the lava fields. Ferries and short flights link them in under an hour, so spend longest where it suits you.
