Teide, Icod, Garachico & Masca

Discover Tenerife’s most breathtaking landscapes in one unforgettable day. From volcanic craters to historic villages and iconic natural landmarks, this tour brings the island’s highlights to life.

Description

At the appointed time, we’ll depart from southern Tenerife and travel across the island to the spectacular Cañadas del Teide National Park. Here, you’ll be amazed by volcanic, almost lunar landscapes surrounding Spain’s highest peak: Mount Teide, rising 3,718 meters above sea level. Along the way, we’ll admire the famous natural rock formations of Roques de García—famously featured on old 1,000 peseta notes.

 

The tour continues through the Santiago del Teide municipality toward Masca. This mountainous village is full of legends about pirates who supposedly hid treasure in the surrounding ravines. Next, we visit the charming town of Garachico, known for its volcanic natural pools and beautifully preserved Canarian architecture.

You’ll then have free time for lunch at your own expense in the area. Afterward, we head to the nearby Icod de los Vinos to see the iconic Millennial Dragon Tree, a botanical symbol of Tenerife steeped in history and legend.

Finally, we return to southern Tenerife, completing a full-day excursion of approximately 8–9 hours.

    We arrived atTenerife / Los Cristianos 26/July/‘23 for a 10 night stay ,

    We visited Tenerife first excursions,on our first morning,and booked 2 excursions with them , one to Loro Parque Zoo .
    & one to the “ Night skies Tenerife “ stargazing trip .
    “Mark “ who arranged our excursions was Very professional & helpful and arranged everything down to the last detail,
    I felt confident that we were being looked after by a good company.
    Also as we were staying near they’re office & I called in again to ask a couple of further admin questions and “Dan “ who I spoke to was very helpful & reassuring, the both excursions were excellent , enjoyable & worry free , we were kept informed & all the transport was on time ,also tickets & paperwork Was spot on , I would recommend this company to arrange you’re trips & excursions , & I will definitely use them again in the future.

    Respectful, passionate and full of knowledge Our captain ‘Guy’ was pleasantly crazy but very respectful to us and most of all the ocean’s wildlife. It seems to be a bit of a rat race of yachts and catamarans for the first sighting before heading off to snorkel. But we decided to take our time, minimize engine use and luckily saw a baby dolphin and some pilot whales, all from a distance safer to them. Guy told us a lot about the island, was extremely passionate about ocean life and our whole eco system. We went on the 4pm trip and were ready to come in, but would have loved a longer trip if budget and time allowed. Be mindful that you may not get a sighting and proactive about communicating what you’d really like out of your sailing.

    Absolute Empfehlung!! Wenn ihr was buchen wollt, kommt unbedingt hier her! Wir wurden echt top beraten, Angebot ist top und die Preise sind echt fair. Unsere private Segeltour z.B. war der Hammer - es war soooo schön, diese wunderschönen Wale aus nächster Nähe zu sehen, ohne sich das Boot mit 50 anderen Touris teilen zu müssen. On top: leider habe ich mir das Bein im Urlaub gebrochen und wir konnten die Hälfte unserer gebuchten Aktivitäten nicht mehr antreten - wir haben 100% Geld zurück bekommen, das ist mehr als fair. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder :) Danke für alles, Kim <3

    We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim!
    I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday!
    It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us!
    We booked loads of different trips!
    3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s!
    Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it!
    10/10 service and friendliness

    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.
