Paintball in La Matanza de Acentejo, Tenerife

Context Paintball at La Matanza de Acentejo takes place in an open-air field surrounded by native Canary Island forest, where trees and natural vegetation create a realistic tactical environment. The uneven terrain and natural obstacles provide a highly immersive experience for this physically demanding activity, requiring both agility and strategic thinking. The site is located about 20 km from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and is easily accessible by private car via local roads.

The Experience After a warm welcome and distribution of protective gear—face mask, vest, gloves, and full-body suit—you’ll receive a thorough briefing on game rules and available formats. For roughly two hours, you’ll navigate forest trails, running, crouching, and firing paint balls to eliminate opponents. The sound of impacts, the scent of fresh paint mixed with damp forest soil, and the full-body protection of the suit all contribute to a dynamic and comfortable playing experience, allowing full focus on the game.

For Whom This activity suits groups of friends and families with children aged 7 and up who have good mobility and can run and crouch safely. It’s also ideal for companies seeking team-building exercises with tactical challenges. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility or for groups smaller than six people.
