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.

    Absolutely amazing!! We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim! I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday! It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us! We booked loads of different trips! 3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s! Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it! 10/10 service and friendliness

    Amazing Service from Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions! We had such a fantastic experience booking our trips through Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. From start to finish, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We booked several activities including Siam Park, a magical stargazing experience, and the Freebird Catamaran trip – and every single one was spot on.Lisafay really knows her stuff – she gave us honest, tailored advice based on what we were looking for, and her recommendations made a huge difference to our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Everything was clearly explained, professionally handled, and her friendly attitude made it a pleasure to deal with her.If you’re in Tenerife and want to book unforgettable excursions with someone you can truly trust, go and see Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. She genuinely cares, and it shows. Thanks again, Lisafay – you made our holiday extra special!

    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.

    We found this place, as we watch Matt on Facebook and TikTok. I messaged the number linked to there Facebook page and they got back to me straight away answering my questions and told me where the nearest shop was. We walked there, only 20 minutes away right by the golden mile. Lorena was there, smile at the ready, and helped us within 5 minutes. Gave us all the information we needed and walked out happy and ready to go on the trips we have booked. Thank you Lorena, you are a credit to the company!! Xx
