NOTICE: Dear customers, our webshop is currently closed, since we suspended the packing and shipping activity last summer. The nurseries are still working and producing new plants for the market. We are now making changes in our packing centre and we will hopefully restart in Spring 2012. Join us in Facebook in order to keep in touch.

This is a bit of information about us. Contact us if you have any questions. We can reply in English and Spanish.
CANARIUS is a web-based shop that will take to your home many products from the Canary Islands. We select the quality products of the islands and clean and pack them for you, ensuring a safe and quick shipping. We offer a wide range of products from local sources. We do not import and re-sell. Stocks are kept to minimum and products are quickly transferred from the producers' hands to your home, therefore our foods are always fresh and our plants are always healthy. We will only ship orders within the European Union. Pay with bank transfer or credit card, via paypal or through our safe bank. You will receive your purchase within 5-14 days. Our postal service is fast. Any mail from the Canaries travels as airmail, so the box often travels during just 3-4 days and skips any spell of cold or heat. Read more about Shipping to Your Country. OUR PLANTS: We specialize in rare exotic plants and seedlings, seldom offered in mainstream garden stores. The shop offers natural species as well as rare hybrids .“Click us” and buy young specimens or older special plants belonging to different families. Our plants are grown from cultivated stock, never collected in habitat. They are chiefly grown in shade houses, in different areas of Tenerife, where the use of chemicals is kept to a minimum. We enjoy an even subtropical climate with a cool winter but our nurseries are not heated, in order to produce strong hardy plants that can be grown in cooler climates. The only exceoption are the heated areas for seed sprouting and rooting. Our plants are free from pests and diseases. Endangered CITES species are fully legal as they are sold with all the necessary paperwork included. Read more about Our Plants.
OUR FOODS AND DRINKS: We offer a selection of the top-line products regularly purchased by the local people of the Canary Islands, not the cheaper quality products often sold for the tourist market. Some are handcrafted.delicacies produced on a small scale by local companies. These traditional delicacies are produced out of the Mediterranean and Tropical crops grown on the islands, with all the safety required by the laws of the European Union. Discover the unusual jams of tropical fruits such as mango, guava and cactus fruits. Try the unique palm honey, obtained from the sap of the native palm. The Catalog of FOODS & DRINKS will be dramatically increased during the next months. Check back and see.
