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.

    May 2023 Another excellent visit to Kim at Tenerife First. As before she provided a n excellent service sorting out two tours for us. Also meet Daniel, Tenerife First owner for the first time having seen him on YouTube many times. April 2022 Thank you Dan for telling us about Tenerife First and and a extra big thank you to Kim for taking the time to help us with our excursions. A first class service that went well beyond what we have received elsewhere in the past from other sources.

    Try Dive booked by Matt. TFE. We booked a ‘Try Dive’ with Tenerife First Excursions in Los Christianos. Matt was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Also a great help with a follow up query. I would recommend TFE to anyone looking for great activities.

    Lindsey is great Lindsey made hiring a mustang for the day extremely easy. It gives you peace of mind organising through Tenerife first excursions as you know you can trust them and that’s important when dealing with deposits in a foreign country. Had the best day hiring the mustang. Lindsey is extremely knowledgable and helpful!

    Relaxing trip The crew were very good and saw the whales and dolphins. Very relaxing trip… sandwich was not good though and if you need the toilet be ready for a very steep drop so difficult for older people to go or if you have problems with mobility

    Amazing very friendly and polite Amazing, nice boat and managed to see some whales which was well cool, we then stopped for a swim and the sea was full of different fish which was nice to see. The captain was very friendly and funny. The team at Tenerife first excursions was very friendly, would like to say thanks to Daniel and Kim for organising the trip for us will definitely use them again.
