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.

    Tenerife First Excursions: exceptionally helpful Kim, from Tenerife First Excursions, recommended this excursion to us, and it exceeded our expectations: the island is beautiful and panoramic views of different parts of La Gomera are just stunning. We enjoyed all activities included, and grateful to the guide Tony for the wonderful experience.

    Made our holiday The most amazing experience. Pick up was easy and on time, you then drive to the restaurant. Food is incredibly basic but you don’t go to an excursion like this for food. We then went up into the national parks before sunset to enjoy a glass of cava and take pictures above the cloud line. From there, we went up further to observe the night sky- no spoilers. Incredible experience, the best thing we did this holiday. The guys are so knowledgeable, answer any of your questions, and help you see through the telescopes. You can tell they are so passionate about their jobs, it is their hobby too. Don’t hesitate. Book this if you’re in Tenerife.

    We booked number of activities including Paragliding, Scooba Diving with Inga at Tenerife First Excursions. She was really lovely. We wanted to get a flavour of different activites and Inga was perfect in providing us with various options and also making sure that the activities fit in together with our timelines. We would definitely recommend Tenerife First Excursions and Inga for booking activities in Tenerife. Thank you :)

    Aanrader! Echt een aanrader om te doen! Naast het sterrenkijken ook zeer interessant om het eiland te verkennen en de leuke weetjes te leren kennen. Helaas hadden wij het op onze dag niet erg getroffen met het weer, waardoor het erg bewolkt was en we uiteindelijk niet de zonsondergang konden zien en heel weinig sterren. Daarnaast deden ze we wel alles aan om een plek op de bergen te vinden waar het minder bewolkt was, alleen helaas geen geluk. Maar alsnog zeker een aanrader om te doen!

    Lovely dolphins and whales :) The boat tour was great we were lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins and pilot whales. The views were amazing. For me was my first experience going into the open water and I discovered myself that I get motion sickness so if you haven’t been into a boat before, I recommend you to get some tablets beforehand just in case. Everything else was amazing and will do try it again in some future.
