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.

    My girlfriend and I found out about Tenerife First Excursions through tiktok, we walked to the office from Veronica’s and it took 10 minutes.When we got there, the staff were friendly and inviting. The staff are English so there is no language barrier. They ensure when booking you on excursions they are legit and good quality.We were served by Mattie and he was very friendly and eager to help us. He was not pushy and let us take our time to decide, the way he spoke to us and told us straight up about everything was the selling factor for us. We booked JetSkis and a night time quad bike tour, because of purchasing over a certain amount we got free Monkey Park tickets also! Great work to Mattie and the team! We will definitely come back.

    Amazing Had such a good time when I was over in tenerife last week. This is a must do activity was amazing to see how close you where to the dolphins and whales. Also we where aloud a half hour swimming and the guy that took us out was very nice and would answer all your questions. I recommend using Lisa at Tenerife First Excursion. Good prices and very friendly when I am back I will definitely be booking with her agine for other trips.

    Absolutely spot on. We visited Tenerife a couple of months ago and luckily stumbled upon the lovely Kim of Tenerife First Excursions, she was so nice to us with no pressure sales whatsoever. She made us feel like we were her friends rather than her customers which we really appreciated. She was an absolute joy to chat to to she sorted us out with a couple of great activities that's really was the highlight of our holiday. We would definitely pay Kim a visit if we come back to Tenerife again. Thankyou 🙂.

    Best excursion place We always use these for all our excursions they’re brilliant used them the past two years now, mark and Dan at the los Cristianos shop are both amazing and helpful they always help us find the best things to do while over there, both friendly and always up for a chat too, we’ve booked jet skis, volcano buggy tour, paragliding, loro park, kayaks, quad volcano tour and loved every single one, we’ve also rented the e scooters which are cheaper than the ones you can use from around the island that are usually park and go, always give us a nice little deal if you book multiple trips at the same time too which is good, definitely recommend using this company for all your activities, hopefully see you next year guys too book more
