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.

    Brilliant service and great prices We heard about this place through TikTok and wanted to check it out, needless to say it is definitely worth the good reviews. Coming as a couple abroad for the first time, Kim was amazing at talking us through the activities we wanted to book and she was so detailed throughout the service. Such a wonderful lady, will be returning in the future! Thank you Kim ❤️

    Top excusions, great prices Were given a recommendation for this company and didnt realise we were already following via facebook and tiktok We dealt with Sarah who was very patient and couldnt do enough for us, she recommended some trips and we decided on the 3 hour off road buggy/Tiede tour a buggy for 6 not for the faint hearted but really enjoyed it. We also decided on a private charter excursion on the Galatea boat, when we arrived for a PM sailing some customers were coming off excursions saying how bad the sea was and everyone sea sick, the Captain of the Galatea came and spoke to us and gave us 3 options, go out (wont be enjoyable) postpone or cancel with a full refund. Luckily for us we were here for 2 weeks so we opted to try again the following week im so glad we did, it did not disapoint! The captain was helpful, informative - Soft drinks, water, beer and wine all included along with a tray of sandwiches crisps, snacks and sweets for the kids. We were lucky enough to see some whales and got a chance to do some snorkeling, well worth the money with the added bonus of it being "exclusive" to our family of 6 We also booked jet-ski and parasending with Sarah - no issues Would highly recommend and if was to return to Tenerife would defo use again :)

    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.

We went to Loro park, Go Karting and all day tour to Teide, Masca, Icod and Gatachico. We had great time. Definitely can't recommend this company enough as the service was brilliant. Thank you for making our little holiday a great experience.

    By far the best excursion on the island! By far the best thing I have done on the island! Daniel and Danny were superb answered all our questions and was so informative about mount Teide and surroundings. I was already loving the tour until watching the sunset above the clouds was just the perfect ending! They provide full safety gear and a safety talk as well as water. Also we had the most beautiful photos as memories for only €20! Highly recommended this!! Good value for money and a shout out to Emily who picked us up and dropped us off to our hotel she was so lovely and chatty!
