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.

    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 🙂.

    Lovely friendly service from Daniel Ewing. Went on the 1/2 day tour to Mt Teide. Very enjoyable. Tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable delivered plenty of information in 3 languages. Plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, have a coffee etc. We didn't get to experience the cable car due to winds despite the fact that it was a lovely clear day. However, we were prepared for this possibility by both the travel office and the tour guide. Best of luck to the Rossi man in his new business venture. We hope it works out well for you.
