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.

    Kim from Tenerife First Excursions helped me to arrange a surprise private charter boat trip for our holiday. She was incredibly helpful and gave loads of options. I changed plans last minute for the return transfer and she quickly worked to change the transfer.Cant ask for any better service. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Can't rate Tenerife First Excursions highly enough.

    An amazing night in Tenerife with Stars & Ski Picked us up on time- The dinner was nice, simple Spanish food. They were very organised and everything was done properly, really appreciate their knowledge of stars and ski , felt so happy did this, something different and very interesting! Most importantly was freezing cold so glad they told us in advance to wear very warm clothing, please everyone who wants to do this remember to have few layers of cloths to able to enjoy the night otherwise it would be very uncomfortable. I would personally do this again in another visit to see the ski at another time of the year ,,, thank you so such an amazing experience, worth every penny!

    Superb and humbling whale watching experience Maco Yacht whale watching cruise from Porta Colon captained by Alex was a FANTASTIC experience. 8 of us and we kept away from the big noisy catamarans and had wonderful close up viewing of Pilot Whales and their young with no engines at close range. Alex was v knowledgable and we thoroughly enjoyed 3 hours at sea with him. Highly recommend this small boat experience.
