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.

    Mike and Ross at Tenerife First Excursions are absolutely fantastic - they are both friendly and professional.

    Both Mike and Ross speak perfect English and Spanish. They really do their best to find fun activities at fair prices. I'm delighted with the customer service experience.

    I'd also like to give a special mention to Matty for being a great manager. Matty always prioritises customer satisfied, so I am confident that if you book an activity through Mike, Ross or Matty, you will have a lot of fun at a fair price with a positive customer experience.

    I will definitely come back to Tenerife First Excursions when I am back in Tenerife!

    Best boat experience in Tenerife The boat excursion was amazing and the boat itself is very luxurious. The host for the tour is fantastic and very flamboyant which makes the experience even better and a great laugh. He goes above and beyond to make a the best experience and points out every opportunity to spot dolphins and whales which we did (which isn’t guaranteed). We stopped off at La Caleta for a decent time to jump in the sea, cool down and go snorkelling. The food during this stop is great and drinks are provided throughout the excursion. Will definitely be doing this again!

    Ottima esperienza Io e il mio ragazzo su consiglio di un nostro amico, ci siamo recati da Patricia ( la ragazza che segue le prenotazioni per escursioni / lezioni) e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. E stata gentilissima e disponibilissima a darci tutte le informazioni, sia sui posti da visitare ( spiagge e quant’altro) sia sulle escursioni. Abbiamo prenotato tramite lei una lezione di surf presso una scuola a las Américas e siamo rimasti molto molto soddisfatti. Sicuramente non appena torneremo a Tenerife, ci affideremo nuovamente a lei. Consigliatissimo.

    Amazing Experience All I can say is DO IT!!! such a wonderful experience and Lee and Emily were just the best, couldn't fault them. Got collected from our hotel and taken to where we needed to pick everything up, got jackets and helmets. Lee talked you through everything and from start to finish they were both so helpful, kind and informative. Little breaks along the way up for biscuits and a little history lesson. Then the sunset was breath taking. 100% buy the pictures such amazing memories to keep. We are doing this again for sure. All I will say is there are soooo many companies but trust me go with these guys.

    Informative and great value A fantastic experience. I was slightly concerned we would be cornered in to buying v expensive drinks and snacks but the cafe we stopped at was very reasonably priced. Drinks started at 1 euro and a slice of delicious cake was 2 euros. The trip was really informative and the stops were well paced. I took my two boys who are 8 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't get bored. We took a picnic and ye that at the longest stop. You do need warm clothes, plenty of layers but it wasn't too cold.
