Many low cost companies operate from European countries to the Canary Island. Please, ask for advice. It occurs in a wide variety of habitats from pine and laurel forests to sand dunes. It is most common in semiopen areas with small trees such as orchards and copses. It frequently occurs in man-made habitats such as parks and gardens. It is found from sea-level up to at least 760m in Madeira, 1,100m in the Azores and to above 1,500m in the Canary Islands. [3]The marine life found in the Canary Islands is also varied, being a combination of North Atlantic, Mediterranean and endemic species. In recent years, the increasing popularity of both scuba diving and underwater photography have provided biologists with much new information on the marine life of the islands. Before the arrival of humans, the Canaries were inhabited by prehistoric animals; for example, the giant lizard ( Gallotia goliath), the Tenerife and Gran Canaria giant rats, [56] and giant prehistoric tortoises, Geochelone burchardi and Geochelone vulcanica.
