When is the best time to go to Tenerife?
Our dates run from May to July, but you can stay on for the closing parties - we’ll help you secure further accommodation when you’re out there.

The Tenerife season runs from May to July, but the closing parties tend to run a little later. Want to stay out? Our dedicated reps can help you find further accommodation. We recommend that first timers head out a little earlier to get their bearings before the season begins and the island is flooded with partiers.

If you are from a country within the EU, you will not need to worry about a visa to work in Tenerife. If you are from a country that is outside of the EU (eg. USA, Australia) you may need a visa to work in Tenerife.
Just finished my second year abroad with Summer Takeover and they’ve made it just as amazing as the last!
This was my second year with summer takeover and as normal there was no disappointment in it!
I went on the 16th of may, was a bit quiet at the start but couple weeks later it got rammed with workers and tourist's. I Had the privilege to work for tidal for the season it was insane. Met so many great people and i have life long friends from it, defiantly doing it again next season. Peace
Summer takeover was honestly best experience I had working abroad I’ve gone with this company two years in a row I would definitely recommend summer takeover to anyone who wants to work abroad.
Summer takeover is not one to miss out on! Met some great people who have become friends for life and had some unreal moments when I was away with the company! I'll be looking to do it all over again.
Where to start? Absolutely tip top service from ST and Nathan the rep was mega helpful
If you are thinking of going abroad to work look no further than summer takeover.
No regrets! I had the best summer; with the best people.100% recommend and would use summer takeover again!
This was definitely a summer to remember. Summer takeover were a massive help on the job front and great people who you could speak to whether you just wanted a chat or if you had a problem. Very friendly and would recommend anyone who want to go out and work through ST. They provided me a job on Tidal as a VIP host and it was hands down the best job on the island, making friends for life.

How many hours a day will I be working in Tenerife?
When working in Tenerife, hours and shifts will vary depending on your job of choice. Ticket selling is usually done during the day, so you’ll have time to head back to the hotel and get ready before the big night out. Bar work starts in the evening, putting you right in the middle of the party. The average shift is between 4-6 hours, which leaves you plenty of time to visit the incredible volcanoes, go for a day trip to the theme park, or even try your hand at scuba diving.
Most Summer Takeover guests working in Tenerife work every day - when the shifts are so short and the pay is so good, why wouldn’t you? See our Jobs page for more information on jobs in Tenerife.
