S1E1 - Tenerife
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.

S1E2 - Gran Canaria
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.
