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.

    Wir haben eine 3h Wal- und Delphin-Tour an der Costa Adeje mit "Tnerife First Excursions" gemacht und wir können dieses Unternehmen zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Von der Buchung, über die Kommunikation der Abholung beim Hotel bis hin zum Ausflug selber hat alles Reibungslos geklappt.Tolles Boot, tolles Personal, Tolle Organisation, was will man mehr?(Das es ein wunderschöner Tag war und wir Neben jede Menge Delphinen auch Wale beobachten konnten, hat natürlich auch zum gelungenen Ausflug beigetragen.)

    “We’ve absolutely loved it” We booked around 4 excursions through Tenerife first. They was super quick at replying via their WhatsApp and every single excursion went off without a hitch. All times, locations, QR Codes, Bus rides it was all sorted through Tenerife first. The process has been very straight forward and hassle free and when you’re on holiday that’s exactly what you want. We also did a Stargazing small group excursion which was lead by Ben Simington. We done all the main attractions in Tenerife and can honestly say this was the highlight of our Holiday. Ben ensured we was catered for with dietary requirements and his knowledge on astronomy and Tenerife in general is second to none, a fantastic evening/night we even got to see Saturn with its Ring! We also done a dolphin and whale boat trip with Danny, again very informative on the ocean and was a brilliant skipper. We wholeheartedly recommend both Tenerife First, Ben and Danny to anyone who heads to Tenerife and we will for sure be using again in the future! Thank you Tenerife First for adding to our holiday experience! “we’ve absolutely loved it!” ♥️

    Richie & top class customer experience We visited on our first couples holiday Sep 24 to the new shop next to chill box in playa de las americas. Richie was absolutely spot on. Didn’t have a tui rep in our hotel. First day here visited him and booked all our trips for the week, Siam park, loro park, helicopter tour and jet skis. Really looked after us with info and communication was class. Felt secure booking and a very trustworthy person/company as we always second guess the trips we book but reassured everything will be taken care of. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting to book through Richie/Tenerife First Excursions and will be back next time for sure. Thank you very much!
