🦭 Sea Lion Show – A Fun Way to Get to Know These Animals Better
First, a head emerges from the water, followed by long whiskers and a pair of dark, shiny eyes. A moment later, a sea lion leaps onto the edge of the pool, responds to its keeper's signal and returns to the water with astonishing agility. The sea lion show at Jungle Park is an opportunity to see these animals up close – creatures that move with remarkable grace in the water but can also be surprisingly agile on land.
🦭 Sea Lion or Seal? They're Not the Same!
Although we often confuse these animals, there are several features that make them easy to tell apart.
Sea lions have small but visible external ear flaps. True seals have no external ear flaps – only their ear openings are visible.
Even more interesting is the difference in how they move. A sea lion can bring its hind flippers underneath its body and walk on all four limbs. True seals cannot do this and move across land mainly by undulating their bodies.
During the show, watch how easily a sea lion climbs out of the pool. It's a skill you won't see in a typical true seal.
🐟 How Do Sea Lions Learn to Follow Commands?
During the presentation, the keepers use trained signals and rewards, usually fish. This allows the animals to perform specific movements, return to designated spots and demonstrate behaviours that can also be useful during routine veterinary care.
It's worth remembering that many of the movements you see during these shows have their equivalents in the wild. Sea lions can swim quickly, dive, turn in the water and leap skilfully onto rocky shores.
🍼 Little Kiwi – Jungle Park's Newest Arrival
In June 2026, a female sea lion pup named Kiwi was born at Jungle Park. Her mother is Aly.
This is also an interesting opportunity to learn more about the social lives of these animals. Young sea lions learn through play, observing adults and interacting with other members of their group. The bond between mother and pup is particularly important during the first few months of life.
The park announced Kiwi's birth on 27 August 2026. However, this doesn't mean the young sea lion takes part in the shows – you can simply keep an eye out for her while watching the group.
🤝 Can You Get Even Closer to a Sea Lion?
Jungle Park also offers separate, paid sea lion encounters. During these activities, participants learn about the keepers' work, discover more about sea lion behaviour and may take part in selected exercises under staff supervision.
The encounter lasts approximately 30–40 minutes and is not included in the standard admission ticket. Bookings are made at the park, and you should check the current price and availability with the staff.
🕜 What Time Is the Show?
According to Jungle Park's official programme, the sea lion show starts at 13:30. It's worth planning your visit so that you arrive at the seating area a few minutes early. The park reserves the right to change the schedule or cancel presentations. You can find the latest programme on the Jungle Park website.
👀 Take a Closer Look
During the show, pay particular attention to the flippers. The front flippers help propel sea lions through the water, while the hind flippers are used, among other things, for steering. Take a closer look at their long whiskers, too – these are extremely sensitive touch organs that allow the animals to detect even the slightest movements in the water.
A sea lion may entertain the audience, but its greatest talent becomes apparent when you see just how perfectly adapted it is to life in two worlds – on land and underwater.
👀 Don't Miss
At Jungle Park, it's easy to focus on the animals and shows and overlook the attractions that make this place so special. So, as you explore, keep an eye out for a few things.
🌉 Don't skip the suspension bridges. Even if you're not particularly fond of heights, try crossing at least one. The swaying walkways and views over the vegetation are all part of the adventure.
🧗 Explore Jungle Raid. Don't assume the ropes course is just for children. Adults can have plenty of fun tackling the obstacles too.
🦅 During the birds of prey show, remember to look up at the sky. Not all the birds appear directly in front of the audience. Some soar high above the garden before eventually returning to their handlers.
🦜 Check whether you can enter a walk-through aviary. Watching birds moving freely around you is a completely different experience from seeing them through a wire mesh. If the staff organise a feeding session, it's well worth taking part.
🌿 Take time to enjoy the vegetation. Don't treat the paths simply as routes between animal enclosures. Explore the side paths, listen to the sound of running water and discover the hidden corners of the tropical garden.
🎢 Leave some time for BOB. If you enjoy short downhill rides and a little adrenaline, it's a fun way to add some variety to your visit. Remember that the ride costs extra.

📷 Is Jungle Park Worth Visiting?
In my opinion, definitely – especially if you're spending your holiday in southern Tenerife and looking for something different from a day at the beach.
Jungle Park has something you won't find in every zoo – a sense of discovery. It's not just about the animals, but also about walking among lush vegetation, crossing suspension bridges, tackling rope obstacles and watching birds of prey soar above the audience.
During my visit in 2014, what I particularly enjoyed was that we could do more than simply watch the animals – we could have plenty of fun ourselves. Jungle Raid gave us lots of laughs, while our close encounters with the birds created memories I still treasure today.
However, this isn't a place for everyone. If you're interested only in animals and expect an enormous collection of species, Jungle Park may not meet all your expectations.
But if you enjoy discovering hidden corners, crossing suspension bridges and combining sightseeing with a little adventure, it's well worth adding to your itinerary.
🦧 Who Lives at Jungle Park?
At Jungle Park, you'll encounter animals from different corners of the world – from the tropical forests of Asia and the African savannahs to the coasts of South America. The park's inhabitants include orangutans, gibbons, lemurs, penguins, crocodiles and many other species. Some impress with their appearance, others with their agility, and still others with behaviour that can be genuinely surprising.
🦧 Orangutans – The Red-Haired Inhabitants of the Treetops
Orangutans are among the most intelligent great apes. They can solve problems, remember ways of obtaining food and, in the wild, some populations even use simple tools.
Their long, powerful arms allow them to move skilfully among the branches. Interestingly, adult orangutans lead much more solitary lives than most other great apes.
🐒 Gibbons and Siamangs – Unrivalled Acrobats
If you spot a gibbon moving between branches, pay attention to its arms. Thanks to their exceptionally long arms, these animals can perform impressive leaps, swinging and transferring their body weight from one hand to the other.
Siamangs, the largest of the gibbons, are also famous for their loud calls. They have a throat pouch that acts as a resonator, amplifying their distinctive vocalisations.
🐧 Humboldt Penguins – Penguins That Don't Need Ice
Penguins in sunny Tenerife? Although it may seem surprising, Humboldt penguins come from the coasts of Peru and Chile, not Antarctica.
They live in a region where the cold Humboldt Current brings nutrients into the ocean waters, providing an abundant supply of fish. At Jungle Park, you can also watch the keepers feeding them.
🐊 Crocodiles and Alligators – Masters of Patient Hunting
They can remain almost completely motionless for long periods, with only their eyes and nostrils protruding above the water.
Their eyes and nostrils are positioned high on their heads, allowing them to observe their surroundings and breathe while their bodies remain almost entirely submerged. They also have extremely sensitive receptors that help them detect movement in the water.
🦝 Raccoons and Coatis – Curious Food Hunters
Coatis have long, flexible snouts that they use to search through leaf litter and hidden corners for food. They often move around with their tails held upright, helping them maintain visual contact with other members of the group.
Raccoons, meanwhile, are famous for their dexterous front paws. They can turn and examine objects with astonishing precision. The park also offers feeding presentations featuring both of these animals.
🦡 Perhaps You'll Discover Someone Less Familiar?
Jungle Park is also home to meerkats, servals, capybaras, wallabies, armadillos, porcupines and numerous bird species. It is worth spending some time observing animals whose names you may never even have heard before.
👀 Take a Closer Look
Don't rush to see every animal. Sometimes, just a few minutes of observation can reveal something far more interesting than a hurried walk around the entire park.
It's also worth checking the animal feeding times. According to Jungle Park's current programme, raccoons and coatis are fed at 12:00, while penguin feeding takes place at 12:15. Times may change, so check the park's official programme before your visit.
🐒 Animal Encounters – Sometimes with No Bars Between Us
At Jungle Park, not every animal encounter involves watching its inhabitants from the other side of a fence. In certain areas of the park, you can get much closer to the animals, and sometimes even enter spaces where they move around freely. It is moments like these that turn an ordinary visit into a little adventure.
🐒 Who's Watching Whom?
The most interesting animal encounters don't always involve a special show. Sometimes, all you need to do is stop beside an enclosure and spend a few minutes watching its inhabitants.
Monkeys can spend hours grooming one another, playing or searching for food. To us, these behaviours may seem quite ordinary, but they actually reveal a great deal about relationships within the group.
Mutual grooming isn't just about removing dirt and parasites. It is also a way of strengthening bonds, easing tensions and maintaining social relationships.
Notice whether all the animals are equally active. Some may be playing and moving around their enclosure, while others rest or observe their surroundings from a safe distance.
🌿 When Humans Become the Guests
Areas where visitors are allowed to enter, provided the park is currently operating them in this way, are particularly special. Instead of watching animals from behind a barrier, you can find yourself in their surroundings and observe them from a short distance.
However, this doesn't mean you can approach, touch or feed every animal. Even animals accustomed to people need the opportunity to retreat and rest.
That is why it is best to let them decide how close they want to come. An animal calmly walking past a person is far more interesting to observe than one being coaxed into contact against its wishes.
👀 Take a Closer Look
Don't focus solely on finding the most spectacular behaviour. Watch how the animals communicate with one another through body movements, eye contact, sounds and physical touch.
And if you enter an area where animals move freely near visitors, remain calm and follow the keepers' instructions. Being able to observe them up close is a privilege, not an invitation to unlimited physical contact.
At Jungle Park, it is sometimes worth simply sitting down and watching. Animals don't need to perform tricks to show you something truly fascinating.
🦜 Birds Within Arm's Reach
Imagine stepping into an enormous aviary, but instead of watching birds through a wire mesh, you find yourself among them. One flies just above your head, another perches on a branch, while a third watches visitors with curiosity. At Jungle Park, you can find yourself on the same side of the enclosure as the birds – a completely different experience from watching them in traditional cages.
🌿 An Aviary You Can Walk Through
In walk-through aviaries, visitors enter the space where the birds live. The birds can move between branches, use specially provided resting places and choose whether or not they want to approach people.
This makes it easier to observe behaviours you might otherwise miss through a wire mesh. Birds preen their feathers, communicate through calls, hop between branches or simply rest in the shade.
Some are very active and curious, while others prefer to keep their distance. It is worth respecting their choice rather than trying to attract their attention at all costs.
🌻 A Handful of Seeds and an Extraordinary Encounter
One of the most enjoyable experiences during my visit to Jungle Park was the opportunity to feed the birds. I remember the keepers handing out seeds to visitors, which we could hold in our open palms. The birds flew over to take the food, allowing us to observe them from an incredibly short distance.
It may sound like a simple thing, but having a bird choose to fly over to you feels completely different from watching it behind a fence.
However, don't assume this experience will be available on every visit. Rules concerning feeding and direct contact with animals may change. You should only offer food when the staff allow it, and strictly in accordance with their instructions.
🦜 Why Do Birds Have Such Different Beak Shapes?
When a bird comes close to your hand, take a look at its beak. It is an incredibly precise tool, and its shape depends partly on the type of food the bird eats.
Parrots have strong, curved beaks that allow them to crack open hard seeds and fruit. In many species, the upper part of the beak can move in relation to the skull, giving the bird greater control when handling food.
Other birds have slender beaks adapted for picking up tiny insects or feeding on nectar. Still others use their beaks to search through leaf litter or grasp larger pieces of food.
Interestingly, parrots can also use their beaks as an additional point of support when climbing along branches. Combined with their grasping feet, this gives them remarkable agility.
👀 Take a Closer Look
If you enter a walk-through aviary, don't rush. Stop for a moment and watch how the birds use the space around them. Notice which ones stay high among the branches, which search for food lower down and how they react to the presence of other birds.
If the staff allow feeding, keep your hand still and let the birds approach you of their own accord. Don't try to catch, stroke or restrain them.
The greatest pleasure here isn't actually touching an animal, but being able to observe it up close, without a wire mesh separating you from its world.
👁️ Eyes That See More
Birds of prey are among the animals with exceptionally keen eyesight. Some species can spot tiny details from a distance far beyond the capabilities of humans.
Their eyes are large in proportion to their heads, and their retinas contain numerous light-sensitive cells. This allows an eagle to spot a small animal from a height where a human would see little more than part of the landscape.
Falcons, meanwhile, are famous for their speed. During a hunting dive, a peregrine falcon can exceed 300 km/h, making it one of the fastest animals in the world.
Of course, you won't see every aspect of their natural hunting behaviour during a show, but you can appreciate just how much control these birds have over their flight.
🌬️ How Can a Large Bird Soar Almost Without Moving Its Wings?
Large birds of prey can make use of rising air currents known as thermals. These form when the sun heats the ground and the warmer air begins to rise.
The bird spreads its wings and circles within the rising current, gradually gaining altitude without having to flap its wings continuously. It can then glide in a chosen direction, losing height very slowly.
This is an exceptionally energy-efficient way of travelling. That is why large eagles and vultures can cover considerable distances while using relatively little energy.
If you see a bird during the presentation holding its wings outstretched and appearing almost motionless for a while, watch its flight path closely. It may be making use of rising air.
🧤 Why Do the Birds Return to Their Handlers?
The shows use falconry techniques whose history stretches back thousands of years. The basis of the relationship is gradually getting the bird accustomed to people and training it through appropriate rewards.
The bird learns to respond to specific signals and return to a glove or designated spot, where it receives a food reward. Handlers must also take the bird's condition, behaviour and weather into account.
It is worth remembering that birds of prey are not domesticated in the same way as dogs. Even a bird raised under human care retains many of its natural instincts.
🪶 A Souvenir That Fell Straight from the Sky
When I visited Jungle Park in 2014, I had a completely unexpected adventure. As I was walking along one of the paths, a large bird feather fell on me. Birds of prey were flying around the garden during the displays, so I suspect it belonged to one of them.
I don't know which bird lost it, but I remember how delighted I was by this chance discovery. I have kept the feather ever since. It may seem like a small thing, but after all these years it still reminds me of that day.
And that wasn't the only surprise. One of the park employees was walking along a path with a large bird of prey. He stopped beside my daughter, who was thirteen at the time, and offered her the chance to put on a falconry glove and hold the bird for a moment.
She was absolutely delighted. It wasn't a scheduled attraction or an encounter you had to wait in a queue for. It was simply a special moment that I still remember with a smile.
Of course, many years have passed since our visit, so you shouldn't assume that the park currently offers the same spontaneous encounters with birds.
👀 Take a Closer Look
During the show, try to watch not only the birds themselves but also the way they move through the air. Notice how they adjust the position of their wings, spread the feathers at their tips and use their tails to steer.
Take a closer look at the handlers' gloves, too. They are not just part of the costume – they protect the hands from the sharp talons birds use to catch and hold their prey.
And when one of the large birds begins circling high above the garden, keep your eyes on it. The greatest attraction of this show is the chance to see the extraordinary flying skills of birds that we rarely get to observe so closely in everyday life.
🎢 BOB – Another Dose of Excitement
After crossing suspension bridges and tackling obstacles at Jungle Raid, are you still in the mood for a little more fun? Jungle Park has another attraction waiting for you – BOB, a ride along a specially designed track in a small vehicle resembling a sledge. This time, there's no need to test your balance or overcome obstacles. Just take your seat, get ready for the descent and enjoy the ride.
🛷 Sledging Without Snow?
BOB is an attraction that makes use of the natural terrain. The vehicle travels along a designated track, negotiating bends and downhill sections. It isn't a traditional roller coaster with carriages, nor is it an ordinary slide. It is more like a recreational toboggan run, except that instead of a winter landscape, you're surrounded by the greenery of Jungle Park.
It's a great option for anyone who enjoys a little adrenaline without necessarily seeking extreme thrills. The ride itself is relatively short, but it makes a pleasant change from exploring the garden at a more leisurely pace.
🎢 Over 800 Metres of Fun
The BOB track is over 800 metres long, so this isn't just a ride that lasts a few seconds. It's an additional attraction worth considering, especially if you've completed Jungle Raid and still fancy a little more activity and excitement.
💶 Is BOB Included in the Admission Ticket?
No. BOB is an additional paid attraction and is not included in the standard Jungle Park admission ticket. You can check the current price in the park's official online shop.
If you're visiting with a child, ask the staff about the rules before purchasing a ticket, including any age or height restrictions.
For the latest ride prices and conditions, check with the park staff. You can find more information about BOB on the official Jungle Park website.
👀 Don't Miss
It's easy to assume that BOB is an attraction just for children. But adults can have plenty of fun on it too. If you enjoy this kind of ride, make sure you leave a little time for it during your visit.
After all, Jungle Park isn't just about watching animals – it's also a place where you can enjoy a little adventure of your own.
🦅 Birds of Prey Show – When the Sky Becomes a Stage
Imagine an enormous bird soaring high above the tropical garden before suddenly folding its wings and heading towards its handler with extraordinary precision. A moment later, another bird flies over the audience, so close that you can hear the rush of its wings. The birds of prey show is one of Jungle Park’s most remarkable attractions. Here, the stage is not just the arena – it is also the sky above the garden.
🦅 From Eagle Park to a Spectacular Aerial Show
It is no coincidence that Jungle Park was once called Parque Las Águilas, or Eagle Park. Birds of prey displays have been among its most distinctive attractions for years.
During the presentation, you can admire the skills of various birds of prey, including eagles, falcons and other species used in falconry displays. But it is not simply about watching birds perched on their handlers' gloves.
The most impressive part is watching them fly. The birds soar high, circle above the garden, make use of air currents and then return to a designated spot. Some fly very close to the audience, allowing you to see the span of their wings and the precision of their movements from just a short distance away.
Unlike many shows held in enclosed arenas, the surroundings play an important role here. The sky, hills and vegetation become a natural backdrop for the spectacle.
🌉 Rope Bridges – An Adventure Above the Jungle
At Jungle Park, you don't have to stick to walking along the paths. You can venture off the beaten track, step onto a suspension bridge, tackle a series of obstacles and see the tropical garden from a completely different perspective. This is one of the attractions that makes Jungle Park much more than just a zoo. Here, sightseeing becomes an adventure, and adults can have just as much fun as children.
🌉 Suspension Bridges – Test Your Balance
Hidden among the lush vegetation are wooden walkways and rope bridges that take you across dips in the terrain and between different parts of the garden. Some are more stable, while others sway gently beneath your feet, adding a little extra excitement.
You don't need any climbing skills to give these bridges a try. All you need is a little courage, comfortable shoes and a willingness to accept that the ground beneath your feet might not be quite as steady as an ordinary pavement.
It is also worth stopping occasionally to look around. From the bridges, you can see parts of the garden that remain hidden behind the vegetation when you are walking along the paths below.
🧗 Jungle Raid – A High Ropes Adventure for Explorers of All Ages
One of the most entertaining parts of Jungle Park is Jungle Raid – an obstacle area with rope crossings where you can test your agility and sense of balance.
Here, you'll find suspended walkways, wooden elements and structures that require you to watch your step. This isn't about extreme climbing or racing against the clock. Much of the fun comes from simply having a go at each new challenge.
The obstacles vary in difficulty, so children can also find something suited to their abilities. However, not every obstacle is necessarily suitable for every age group. Before starting, check the signs, restrictions and staff recommendations.
👨👩👧 It's Not Just Children Who Have Fun Here
Many people associate high ropes courses mainly with activities for younger visitors. But at Jungle Park, adults can also discover just how much fun it is to cross swaying bridges and tackle obstacles that look deceptively simple.
You don't need to climb to great heights or take unnecessary risks. Sometimes, a few wobbly steps, plenty of laughter and the satisfaction of reaching the other side are all it takes.
During my visit, this part of Jungle Park gave us an enormous amount of enjoyment. It turned out that you certainly don't have to be a child to have a wonderful time on a ropes course.
🥾 How to Prepare for Your Rope Bridge Adventure
The most important thing is to wear comfortable shoes that fit securely. Flip-flops or loose sandals can make it difficult to cross uneven or moving surfaces.
If you're visiting Jungle Park with children, choose obstacles suited to their age, height and physical abilities. Don't encourage them to attempt more difficult crossings simply because other children have managed them.
Remember, too, that you don't have to tackle every obstacle. You can choose an easier route or simply watch everyone else enjoying themselves.
👀 Take a Closer Look
Don't think of the rope bridges simply as a way of reaching the next attraction. Look around, admire the vegetation from above and notice how your perspective changes when you're high above the garden paths.
And if you feel like it, have a go at Jungle Raid too. Even if you initially think it's mainly an attraction for children, you may quickly change your mind.
At Jungle Park, not everything is meant to be admired from a distance. Some attractions are best experienced for yourself.
Jungle Park Tenerife – A Tropical Garden Full of Animals and Adventure
Imagine a tropical jungle in the middle of Tenerife's dry southern landscape. Hidden among the lush vegetation are exotic animals, suspension bridges, a high ropes course and winding paths leading to one surprise after another. At Jungle Park, you can do more than simply watch the animals. You can also enter selected aviaries, watch spectacular birds of prey in flight and enjoy an adventure that certainly isn't just for children. This is one of those places where exploring the hidden corners is every bit as enjoyable as the attractions themselves.
🌴 A Jungle in Tenerife's Dry South
Southern Tenerife is best known for its sunshine, dry hills and landscapes where it is difficult to imagine a lush tropical forest. Yet this is exactly where Jungle Park was created, in the municipality of Arona – a zoological park where dense vegetation, waterfalls, rocky passages and suspension bridges create a world completely different from the one outside its gates.
🦅 It All Began with Eagles
Before Jungle Park existed, the site was known as Parque Las Águilas, meaning Eagle Park. The name referred to one of its greatest attractions – birds of prey and their flying displays.
Over time, the park expanded, new animal species were introduced, and attractions were added to give visitors more opportunities for active recreation. The former Eagle Park became Jungle Park, but birds of prey have remained one of its most distinctive features.
🌿 How Do You Create a Jungle Where Rain Is Scarce?
Jungle Park covers approximately 75,000 square metres. One of its most remarkable features is the contrast between the dry surroundings and the greenery you discover inside.
Southern Tenerife receives considerably less rainfall than the northern part of the island. Such a lush garden could therefore never have developed here without human intervention.
Plants from different parts of the world have been carefully selected and arranged to create the impression of a tropical forest. Maintaining this greenery requires regular watering and care, particularly during long periods without rain.
So this is not a natural Canarian jungle, but a carefully designed garden where people have recreated the atmosphere of humid tropical forests.
🌺 More Than Just Animals – The Plants Are an Attraction Too
At Jungle Park, it is worth paying attention to more than just the animal enclosures. Enormous leaves, palm trees, climbing plants and dense vegetation create green corridors through which the paths wind.
In many places, the plants restrict your view, so you cannot immediately see what lies around the next corner. One moment you come across a rocky passage, the next a bridge suspended above the greenery, or a viewpoint where you can look down over the garden.
It is this thoughtful design that makes Jungle Park feel different from a conventional zoo, where animal enclosures are arranged along a single main path.
💦 Water, Rocks and Hidden Green Corners
Waterfalls and pools are another feature that helps create the atmosphere of a tropical forest. The sound of running water, the shade of the plants and the rocky passages make walking through the park a pleasure in itself.
Not everything is immediately visible. Some parts of the garden only reveal themselves when you leave the main path or choose a different route.
And that is what I consider one of Jungle Park's greatest attractions. It is not simply about reaching the next animal enclosure. The journey there can be just as enjoyable.
👀 Take a Closer Look
As you explore, try to forget for a moment that you are in a zoo. Notice how the vegetation surrounds the paths, how the light changes beneath the tree canopy and how many places remain hidden behind the greenery.
Also notice the contrast between Jungle Park's landscape and the dry hills of southern Tenerife. It is the best way to appreciate just how extraordinary a setting has been created here.
Jungle Park may not be a real jungle, but it certainly knows how to awaken your sense of adventure and curiosity. And this is only the beginning of your adventure.
