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.

    Mooie ervaring op zee! We hebben super genoten van dit tripje op zee! We hadden een aangename kapitein, een vriendelijke, rustige persoon. Normaal kan je met een 10-tal mensen op de boot maar wij waren alleen met ons gezin van 5 personen. Een aanrader!

    Amazing boat trip via the lovely Laura! Heard about TFE from seeing Mattie on TikTok. As we were in Tenerife at the same time as a few of our friends, we decided to charter a boat & of course, TFE were our 1st choice. We were lucky to be in contact with the wonderful Laura, who we initially dealt with via WhatsApp but then met in person once we arrived. She was so friendly, kind & knowledgeable & gave me some great advice as I was worried about going on a boat as I get seasick. The boat trip itself was brilliant - there were 16 of us on the boat, ranging from aged 11 to 55 looked after by the lovely Santhi who kept us constantly supplied with drinks. The food was also fab. We got to see loads of whales & dolphins and then fish when we stopped to snorkel. After following Laura’s advice I didn’t feel at all seasick. I would 100% recommend TFE - they listen to exactly what you want & make you feel important, even though they must deal with so many people.

    Full day guided tour of La Palma visiting the erupting volcano What a great day out. First thoughts was that it was a bit morbid viewing peoples misery when they have lost their homes . But in doing this tour, I feel we were able to assist the local economy which is being affected by the reduction in numbers of tourist due to the volcano eruption. The ship sailed promptly at 08:30 from los Christianos arriving at 10:15 at Santa Cruz. Stopped off at 2 great view points on the journey across the island heading to Tazacorte where we had a three course meal. The coach guide was very knowledgeable and pointing out things of interest. Eventually we arrived at the viewing point overlooking the volcano and lava streams. What a levelling experience, sadly seeing houses half covered in lava. Then off back to Santa Cruz for the ferry back to los Christianos arriving back at 19:15. This was a really enjoyable day out. We booked through Tenerife First excursions after seeing positive reviews. It was easy enough to do online. We were in touch with Kim who made everything feel no trouble at all. I would definitely use Tenerife first excursions again👍👍. They are very professional and know there stuff, thanks for your help Kim.

    We live here and had family over from France and booked a boat trip through Sahar.Just to say we enjoyed every minutes of it! Everything was well organized, we were only 10 on the excursion boat which was perfect and very relaxing. A company we will recommend as they are extremely professional … cant wait to do it again!
