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.

    A boat trip on board the Ragnorok seeing the whales and dolphins. Before travelling to Tenerife we had decided this year we would like to go on a boat trip, we had a total of 10 members in our party with 2 being children.We walked past the kiosk a couple of times and spoke with Mattie who offered us a variety of trips, although we knew we wanted to go on a boat we were struggling to pick which one. Mattue was great in helping us decide and we narrowed it down to 2 options, we decided upon the Ragnorok as it would be more fun for the children. On the day of our trip we arrived to the port ready to board, all the crew were dressed up and in character which I think was brilliant, the whole 3 hours went by so quick but the crew never broke character once and I can honestly say we had one of the best days in Tenerife. We were lucky enough to see a pod of whales and had a good laugh being sacrificed to the sea by the crew. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone and to book with Tenerife first excursions is a must, great helpful staff who have given us a great memory until we return.
