How Expensive Are the CANARY ISLANDS? Food, Ferries, Hotels & More
All inclusive is such good value for money in the Canary Islands, not for everyone I know but should certainly be considered as an option. We pay around 100 Euros per night each for four star all inclusive which is alot more than we would pay out for food and drinks alone. Many hotels allow you to book direct with them. We love the Canary Islands and have made lots of videos, if you're interested in Fuerteventura and Lanzarote please take a look :) Always looking to make a connection with others as crazy about travel as we are :)
canary islands look beautiful dude
Hi, Gabriel, Your video is amazing. It inspires me a lot. I actually working in start-up company based in Tenerife. I wish I could go there in near future. And your video gives me a good guideline. Always happy travelling.
In Tenerife, stay at the ocean dreams hostel in Los Cristianos, avoid Hostel Tenerife
Great view..thank you..feels like a mini vacation for me as I arm chair travel..blessings on your journey
I go to Gran Canaria every year 👍🏻
I love these coherent travel videos where you show pretty much everything from morning till evening!
Gabriel, you should get the charles schwab atm card. No fees anywhere in the world, they even reimburse for fees charged by the local bank.
Lots of people are suggesting this. Seems legit!
Yeah I need to look into that.
It's absolutely legit. I took a year-long vacation that would've cost me hundreds more had it not been for Schwab. An under-appreciated aspect of this is that you don't feel pressured to withdraw large amounts of money at once to minimize the fees, so I never carried more than two or three days worth of spending money on me. That means I could never be robbed of more than about $100 typically.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't have anything invested with them, which I think is their hope for offering this excellent checking account. That's why I'm very happy to give them my endorsement.
They also have exemplary customer service.
Seriously, open an account with them. It costs you nothing, and saves you lots: www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking_lending/checking_account
If you use the code REFER, you can get $100 when you deposit $1000. I have my own personal referral code (not REFER), but I don't think it actually gives me anything. If anyone reading cares to experiment with me, just message me directly and I'll send you what I have.
I promise I don't work for them! :D
+Gabriel Traveler Really do it, man. I think I was able to do everything online, though they do need to mail your bank card to a physical address.
I posted some info above, but here's the link to the specific checking account:
www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking_lending/checking_account
I also had to open a brokerage account simultaneously, but it also doesn't cost anything and has no minimum requirements or fees.
Save your hard-earned dollars, so we can enjoy watching you spend them on better things!
I totally need that, especially for India because they have a currency crisis ongoing and you can only withdraw small amounts. Wish I could get the card mailed to me while traveling, but that would be problematic.
Would love to see a video of how to tour "a musical tour of the Canary Islands." I am engrossed in the music and would love to know the ins and outs of finding venues and scheduling of the live music. Any ideas?
I love this guy, and his muesli :)
ChubbyChecker182 I was cracking up at the muesli part, too! 😂 Muesli and smoothies, around the world! 😆
Thank you Gabriel, for the information on the Canary islands. I plan on visiting the peninsula and the Canary islands in 2022, pending status of Covid.
Nice vid! when I went to Tenerife I found it a lot cheaper than most places in Europe, especially mainland Spain. I didn't do it on a budget but It was still pretty affordable.
Canary is very cheap compared with other places in Spain because we are poor compared also eith Spain haha
The salaries are way lower, there is more difficulty to find a job, all of that makes the prices in Canary cheaper! It's a great deal for anyone who comes from outside, but if you are already from Canary, you will find it very difficult to afford to go even to the mainland
Love your videos, man! Thanks for showing us the world. Please visit Morelia when you get a chance.
Wow you've gained 12,000 subscribers in the last month! Way to go, keep it up.
through qqtube I guess :D
I found the flights from island to island to be cheaper than the ferry. Flights from Tenerife to GC about 30 Euro. Ferry was about 35-40 but you save much more time than the ferry. It's funny we have a very similar trip right now. In Tenerife for a few more days, then GC, then Morocco later. Enjoy the islands and enjoying your guides for all these places.
It's true. I have it and it's saved me so much money. Couple it with a credit card from Capital One and you'll have no foreign country money fees at all!
Great video. A ferry trip & a few beers is always lots of fun.
how do you use your cell phone and using the maps on ur phone In the different countries
Love your A to B videos.
Sweet.
The north of Tenerife near La Orotava is the cheapest place, below the cloud cover, wine region
hello I have travel on that ship Volcan . On the stern top deck you can sleep very constable. The best city in my opinion is Santa Cruz De La Palma . Go back and visit during La Fiesta De Los Indianos. saludos
Great, thanks.
If you enjoyed this you should go to fuerteventura (the neighbouring island) and you should stay at this villa called Bahia azul they serve breakfast everyday with a great choice of food and you can also order food to your villa!
Nice video Gabe. Straight to the point. 👊🏿
a cam gimble stabilizer will suit your vids
Very informative video. You never get to see the things like riding in buses or the ferry dock in other "pretty" videos. Seeing everyday stuff rather than tourist circuits is great. Appreciate it.
Great, glad to hear it.
For the lunch, when you are starving, just look for the "Menu del día" as you showed us, so you're gonna get fresh food and a lot of them, because you have the first meal (3 choices), then you get the second one (more 3 options) and finish with the desert or coffee. Cheers!
was looking to see if someone had already commented on this. :)
Gabriel, I understand you’re Canadian as well as American? Have you looked into the Home Trust Preferred VISA card? No annual fees, no currency exchange fees either.
Very interesting with the ferry and walking tours. Looks like a nice place to call home. Thanks!
if planned for longer.. Tenerife Norte. Garachico, La Perdoma, La Orotava. Capitals like Las Palmas, Santa Cruz and tourist areas South Gran Canaria, South Tenerife much more expensive.
yo gabe..check some moringa products or better get some fresh leaves from the trees if u find it..teneriffe is a main manufacturing place for moringa oliveira products and adds to a richer nutritional food intake...
would be cool if you'd go over to la gomera or las palmas island, giving an overview of the hippies living in caves and the scenery in general...besides those islands should be the most interesting of the canaries...
oh and besides: why as a budget traveller would u book dorms for 18-25€ if on air bnb you'll be getting private rooms for 10-15€ ? having even a kitchen to use in ordr to cook up some cheaper meals ?
happy travels from central vietnam atm
I'm leaving to Madrid in two days. I'm super excited, but a little nervous. I like the way it is so easy for guys to travel. I would love to do that, but as a female, I don't think I would be as comfortable. This trip will be a little test for that. Depending how it goes, I hope I get the courage to do more exploring :D
You'll be perfectly safe anywere in Spain, Don't worry and enjoy your trip!!
Alex Cortez Congrats! Hope you have safe travels!
I have only encountered a handful of male solo travellers, most solo travellers I come across are female. And if you're a solo female traveller then people will be much more friendlier to you than they would to a solo male traveller.
Just put a stuffed sock in your pants and shave your head, you'll be fine.
Thanks for your time have been following your travels and appreciate your advice come to Adelaide will look after you
hey Gabe if you head to the south and west of Tenerife it's a lot warmer the north gets more rain and cold happy travels 😎
In restaurant terms, " Primeros " means " Starters and " Segundos " means " Second plates ". In Tenerife, I highly recommend you visiting " El Teide " which is a volcano where you can do some trekking or even ride a camel. Thanks for sharing !
Great, thanks.
Spectacular islands, one question, is there any nightlife there? Clubs ,dancing, bars to hang out or strictly retirement community atmosphere?
@gr l ...thanks for the info.
Take the ferry in the port of "Los Cristianos" and view the island of La Gomera (50 min trip), especially the National Park of Garajonay. ;-)
I highly recommend fuetaventura
Thank you so much Gabriel. I am planning on moving to the canaries but Covid-19 has delayed my plans.
Cool I'm going to the Canary Islands this Thursday, to Tenerife! I'm very excited I've never been there 😊
Awesome.
Excellent video! That last hostel was pretty cool! BTW I have really enjoyed the last couple of videos you posted on the islands, but couldn't comment at the time I watched! Thanks.
No problem, glad to hear it Andi.
Many credit cards now offer no foreign transaction fees.
Nice Video Gabriel.. A very interesting place indeed... Always love Ferry rides.. Must be the Greek Pirate Blood in me.. Prices seems similar to that of most places in Europe... Safe Travels..
Nice bro... thanks a lot very informative
I'm surprised at the price you had to pay at the hostel. I've never stayed in one, but always thought they were a lot cheaper. My husband and I always rent a self catering apartment in Puerto Rico area which comes to about £12 per day. It has a private pool, the beach is near, and plenty of places to eat and shop.
A blessed good day sir Gabriel thank u so much for sharing video for budget.expenses for foods ferries transport.and hotel accommodations in wonderful island of Canary Spain thank you keep.safe Godbless u from your solid viewer from the philippines sir vhin 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🙂🙂👍👏👏🙏🙏🙏
I really like your video sir. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Nice video man... love it 👍
I hope you enjoyed it you seem like a nice guy
great info man keep it up!
thanx man, nice video :)
Go To Funchal in Madeira. It is An island near canary island
Angelo Facipieri Madeira is no where « near » the Canary islands. Hundreds of miles away.
im guessing ..no wine on the ferry this time eh? lol great videos as always!
Ha ha, no. Fortunately it was also a much smoother ride.
enjoyed the hostel review, continue to enjoy Tenerife
Uh oh. I realized I got that same HP laptop at Costco a couple of weeks ago. Or, well, my dad did so I can do some photo editing for him. I hope it works better for me than it has for you! Ha! Another nice video of Las Canarias! I enjoyed this one a lot.
I hope it works out okay for you! Probably it will. Mostly it's a pain for me because editing videos is so demanding. Plus the fact that a couple things are kind of broken on it (like the microphone, although I managed to fix that by getting an external microphone I can plug in). As long as everything works properly then it will probably be alright for you.
Gabriel Traveler I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I haven't used it a whole lot, yet. So we'll see. I'm glad yours is holding up with some "McGyvering" ingenuity!
Seems like you hit 50,000 subs just a few days ago!
That was about three weeks ago. And then one of my videos went viral and got 4 million views, so that jumped up my subscribers even quicker than normal.
Thanks Gabriel. We really enjoy your videos. It would be our pleasure to share with you a song that symbolizes the Canary Islands. Naturally it is in Spanish but fortunately it has English subtitles (At least most of it). czcams.com/video/BGYhAz9syr4/video.html Christopher Columbus stopped at this archipelago in all of his four voyages not only to resupply his ships, but the true purpose of coming here was looking for the "Vientos Alisios", that were later called "Trade Winds" in English because they were used for commerce. He knew that at this latitude the winds flow in an east-west direction. All the islanders are familiar with these winds that took Columbus to discover the New World.
Please Gabriel, since you are in Tenerife, go to the city of La Laguna, its more relaxed and beautiful than SC. Its a Unesco human heritage city, its totally worthwhile. By the way im from there so it would be great to know your opinion about the city. Youre the best!
Great, thanks for the tip, I will check it out. I'm leaving Santa Cruz today and staying at a hostel in the interior of the island.
Nice green day pack, What brand is it? Thanks for sharing your vids.
It's an Outdoors Products brand, got it at Walmart for $25, but you can probably find the same thing elsewhere as well.
Nice 👍🏽
Thanks for this vide - this is on my 2017 this year late summer September trip list. I'm in Baltimore, MD (BWI Airport) about how much are tickets as I seen there's really no direct flights? It's all connector flights. Are they English speaking areas too? Thinking of a 2 week visit at the most. Also when booking places to stay - time difference right, so how are you arranging pre-travel? Thanks for any advice
nice
Those prices are insane, it is much cheaper to live there than in California. Moving there wouldn't be a problem
Haha yeah! They are cheap but you have to be from outside. If you are from here, finding a job is a struggle and the salaries are to small (400-600€ euros is the basic) so it's actually a struggle
What’s is your favourite island and why?
Hello,i kind of will do the same route you have,las palmas,marrakech-essouira and amsterdam.Do you think 30 euros per day is going to be enough for these cities?and last question is actually i have booked the same hostel and they offered me transportation from to their hostel about 25 euros,should i take it or do you know a cheaper way to get there.
Nice one #hellovoyage
Did the lady at the ferry asked you for your passport?
I don't remember but they probably asked for ID, and if you're not from Europe then it would have to be your passport.
Hey Gabe. You in Puerto de la Cruz or Orotava this week? Would be awesome to catch you for a cervesa! Peace
hey there, I'm actually in Puerto de la Cruz right now. But I'm catching a bus south to another hostel where I'm staying the next few nights. It's in El Medano. I'll be in that area until Saturday and then I fly off the island. But I'm up for something if it works for you to make it down there at some point.
I'm staying close to Puerto de la Cruz. What time are you leaving for the El Medano? :-)
I was waiting for a bus at the bus station, so I caught one a little while later. I'm now in Los Cristianos, waiting for the next bus to El Medano. I can see it's a bit of a pain to get over to this side of the island. I thought we would go across the island, but we went up to Santa Cruz and then back down.
Hey , have you been to Brazil ? hugs from Brazil Sao Paulo
Nope, not yet, I've just been to Colombia, Peru and Ecuador in South America.
you seem like a cool dude deffo subscribing could you give me a quick tip on staying in tenerife I'm going there 5th of may this year for a 10 day holiday but I was gonna try find work out there was just wondering how hard it would be to do so I mean I will literally settle for any job just to stay out there
gavbkk83 Ireland really have you been there before I'm gonna start doing videos out there once I'm there but got a while yet I fly out on may the 5th
Thanks for sharing!
I'm doubtful that the European ATMs aren't taking a cut. My guess would be a less than ideal exchange rate.
Hmm, not sure about that. I never compared the exchange rates between ATMs that charged a fee and those that didn't. You could be right.
By the way, you should come stay with me in Skagway, AK next summer! Plenty of jobs if you want to work.
Cool, yeah I think I've been there once, took the ferry there from Juneau but just passed through.
Get a Charles Schwab investment bank checking account. No fee international debit card and they reimburse any bank fee that are charged by the foreign bank. You sign up online.
What was that box you said you finished for breakfast? What exactly is it? Just curious
Muesli, kind of like granola except it isn't baked: Muesli is a breakfast and brunch dish based on raw rolled oats and other ingredients including grains, fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts, and may be mixed with cow's milk, soy milk, almond milk, other forms of plant milk, yogurt or fruit juice.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muesli
Gabriel Traveler thank you, very informative
Are there lockers in the hostels you stay in?
Usually, yes. Here's another video that talks more about that: czcams.com/video/R9v9utBSmx0/video.html
Nice.! BTW how's your experience and impression of agoda.com?
I've just used it once actually, but I found a good hotel in Athens for cheap, so it worked out. I forget to check it because mostly I use hostelworld and booking.
tell me the websites please again to book
I use hostelworld, booking.com, agoda, airbnb
iam really comfused between cran canarian and terrinefi
They are two different islands of the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands are a cluster of 7 different islands.
Gabriel Traveler I wanna really your experience for Andalucia (gordoba. Seville. granada and malaga ) and the connection transportation between them
Sorry but I don't understand your question. You're asking about transportation in that part of Spain? I went by bus, it was pretty cheap.
I can not hear one word you r saying!!!!
I guess you mean because of all the background noise? It was hard to avoid in this one.
What time of the year did you visit this heaven?
In January.
You can find the canary islands with that weather at almost any time of the year (except if there is a storm) :))
Sun is most of the time out (depending on the island too, and the city, even if we are small islands, there are "cursed cities" where clouds loves to stay. Do you know la laguna, Tenerife? There happened the 1st worst aeroplane crash in the world, interesting story, I think there is a documental on youtube)
Anyway, you can come any time of the year actually
how much did you pay for the ferrY ? thank you
6:20 it was 35 euros. :)
The dark green shirt looked nice, very conservative for your position, those others look too clownish for a serious take on things. an opinion. Your friend peace Gabe.
It's Tenerife not Tenerifay
According to whom? According to locals its tene-ree-feh. According to uk its tene-reef. According to USA its tene-ree-fay.... all are correct.
The Canary Islands are definitely more expensive than the mainland.
actually they are quite a lot cheaper
What de you like the most? Morocco or spain ?
thanks to malaria this island still belong to Europe.. american once wanted . would be a different country today ....... the last European enclave in Africa
Pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Gran canaries is cheaper and better public transportation then Malta
I think I recognize that shirt ! with the Hindu Goddess/God must be a loyal fan. 😃🤗
Yes I have three different shirts with Hindu gods/goddesses (Shiva, Krishna and Kali) that I wear in videos, so it might have been the same one you saw before, or else maybe a different one.
suh dude
Tip is always 10% right?
Yeah that's fine for Spain. But it depends which country you're in.
Tip is not mandatory. Waitors are paid a salary.
Rip off. Spain is too expensive for what you get.
Spain is cheap, try Switzerland or North europe for expensive places....
This guy is cheap!
Gary Troost So?
