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.

    Belle nuit d'étoiles et explications intéressantes Très belle soirée étoilée avec de superbes explications en français données par Maxime qui n'a aucun secret sur le nom grec des étoiles, des constellations et nous instruit de manière simple et intéressante, belle approche. Même pas mal au cou à regarder les étoiles avec leur super laser qui va jusqu'à cibler l'étoile en question dans le ciel ! Les guides en différentes langues ne se gênent pas, et tout le monde a pu observer sur les 4 différents télescopes, ce qu'il avait décrit, en petits groupes de 5 personnes/télescope. Nous en avons eu plein les yeux mais habillez vous chaudement. Petite cafète et toilettes à disposition. Visite nocturne à recommander.

    15 pilot whales and 4 dolphines Our skipper, Patrick has plenty of sea experience after 25 years fishing in Alaska :-) He knows the habitat very well and navigated us to see dolphins and whales from very close! This is a sailboat, but it runs on an engine. There are comfortable places to sit. You get modern full-face masks for snorkeling. We stopped in a small bay and we saw a lot of fish (they enjoy feeding).Be aware that the waves are high even with moderate wind.

    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.
