Island Tour

See all the highlights of Tenerife in just one day! From towering cliffs to charming historic towns and iconic landmarks, this full-day adventure takes you on a whirlwind tour around the island, combining breathtaking nature, culture, and unforgettable views.

Description

We’ll pick you up from your hotel or designated bus stop in southern Tenerife and begin our journey to the spectacular Los Gigantes Cliffs, known for their towering rock formations rising dramatically from the ocean.

Next, we’ll continue to the Mirador de Garachico for breathtaking coastal views. Our route then takes us to Icod de los Vinos to see the iconic Millennial Dragon Tree, a botanical symbol of Tenerife.

From there, we’ll explore the charming town of La Orotava, including a visit to the famous Casa de los Balcones, showcasing traditional Canarian architecture and culture.

We then head to Puerto de la Cruz, where you’ll have free time for shopping, sightseeing, and lunch at your own expense. On the way back south, we’ll make a final stop in Candelaria to see the Patron Saint of the Canary Islands before returning to your hotel.

Important Update: Due to major works in Candelaria, the usual stop may be temporarily modified on Tuesdays. Instead, you’ll enjoy extra time in La Orotava to explore the town. We will keep guests updated as soon as the situation changes.

    Merece la pena Magnífica travesía. Vimos delfines y calderones aunque lo que te tiene que gustar es navegar ya que tres horas dan para mucho. Nos bañamos y el patrón fue muy agradable. 100 % recomendable. Relacion calidad precio buenísima. Volveremos

    Arrivé le 18/08 sur l’île de Tenerife et plus aucun moyen de locomotion à louer ! Sauf que j’ai croisé Lisafay lors de ma première promenade à Costa Adeje. Cette ravissante et pétillante femme m’a trouvé une moto pour le lendemain et pour 4 jours. La découverte de l’île a commencé ainsi et je lui en suis très reconnaissant.Bien entendu, je recommande vivement Tenerife First Excursions.Même quand cela devient impossible, c’est possible !!! ❤️

    Really helpful Many hanks to Sarah who helped us with this trip. We needed a calm boat due to recent surgery so she suggested the catamaran. We plumped for the 4.5hr trip and were not disappointed. She also told us how to get there and back and where to get taxis and buses from as we were too late for their transport, but it wasn’t a problem. The trip itself was great. Beautiful scenery, pilot whales, dolphins and flying fish and a chance to swim in the sea.

    We recently went on a dolphin watching boat trip arranged by this company. It was an amazing experience! Although we had initially booked a boat with a glass bottom, unfortunately it was not available on the day we went. However, Kim was extremely helpful and accommodating, and she made sure we still had a great time. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Despite the boat being smaller than we had anticipated, there were only a few people on board besides us, which made it feel more exclusive and personalized. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. Although the food was a bit plain, it was a minor issue compared to the wonderful experience we had watching the dolphins. The crew also shared some interesting facts about the local marine life and ecosystem, which added to the overall educational value of the trip. I highly recommend this dolphin watching tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience, and I especially want to thank Kim from the agency for her exceptional service. The crew was great, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Thank you to the team for arranging this fantastic experience!

    CANARY KAYAK TENERIFE Had a brilliant time, instructors were lovely, safety conscious and very informative. Snorkelling with the fish and seeing the wildlife made this trip extra special. We can’t recommend this company enough. Thank you

    ULTIMATE BUGGIES TENERIFE 🙂 We booked through Mark at Tenerife First Excursions for a buggy ride to Mount Teide. The tour was taken by Ultimate Buggies Tenerife. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, we were picked up and dropped off outside our hotel, given a full safety briefing, goggles, gloves and much needed jackets! The guys were 1st class, safety on the roads was paramount and put our minds at ease throughout the whole trip! We had good amount of both stops for photo opportunities and riding time, had loads of interesting knowledge about the area too! My son said these buggies handled smoothly and were a pleasure to drive, as the passenger I have to agree, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend this company enough - will be booking again soon.
