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.

    Made our holiday The most amazing experience. Pick up was easy and on time, you then drive to the restaurant. Food is incredibly basic but you don’t go to an excursion like this for food. We then went up into the national parks before sunset to enjoy a glass of cava and take pictures above the cloud line. From there, we went up further to observe the night sky- no spoilers. Incredible experience, the best thing we did this holiday. The guys are so knowledgeable, answer any of your questions, and help you see through the telescopes. You can tell they are so passionate about their jobs, it is their hobby too. Don’t hesitate. Book this if you’re in Tenerife.

    Bonne expérience ! La ballade fut tres sympa ! Le personnel est aimable et à l’heure comme indiqué. Les instructions sont claires. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des dauphins ainsi que d’autre type de delphinidae. Dans le respect de la nature. Et même si nous n’en avions pas vus, la ballade est très calme et agréable ! Le bateau est bien, en petit comité !
