Episode 1

1. Tenerife

Aired: 1/5/2024

Singer Jane McDonald undertakes an island-hopping adventure across the Canaries to discover the hidden treasures that each destination has to offer. Starting in Tenerife, where she stays in Playa de las Americas, she heads up Mount Teide by cable car. Jane also tastes the Canarian banana, visits the old town of La Oratava, jumps the waves at Siam Park, and takes a day trip to neighbouring island La Gomera.

2. Gran Canaria

Aired: 1/12/2024

The singer continues on her island-hopping odyssey, sailing across the Atlantic to Gran Canaria. After her ferry trip, Jane drops her bags at her all-inclusive hotel, and explores the Maspalomas sand dunes. Next, she sets off to soak up the pretty village of Firgas in the quieter north of the island. No visit to Gran Canaria would be complete without a night out, and Jane is far from disappointed when she's entertained at one of the region's famous drag queen bars.

3. Fuerteventura

Aired: 1/19/2024

Jane arrives at her hotel on the east coast of Fuerteventura, and then sets out on a boat trip to visit the small island of Lobos. She meets locals Amelia and Sarah, and they offer to show Jane round the island. The presenter also goes to an animal rescue ranch that specializes in horse meditation.

4. Lanzarote

Aired: 1/26/2024

After arriving in Lanzarote at her hotel in the popular resort of Costa Teguise, Jane immediately heads out to visit the Jameos del Agua caves, the underground volcanic tunnels that artist and architect Cesar Manrique turned into a form of art installation. She visits the caves with island regulars Richard and Jo, and they look at the underwater lagoon, outside pool and ampitheatre.
