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.

    These guys are without doubt very good and have excellent knowledge. Unlike most of the others in the area you're not pressured, given honest advice and well priced. We were fortunate to sit with Kim who was lovely. She went above and beyond arranging our trips. We also talked to the very friendly Daniel. When we return he has offered to take us to Kenzei 😜 thanks again for your help 👌

    The best customer service A massive thank you to Daniel at the Las Americas shop for his helping booking and sorting out our trips on our holiday. We booked 3 trips with him , on the day of our dolphin and whale watching tour my daughter was unwell and at 8am Daniel was helping me to get the date changed so we didn’t miss it. 10/10 customer service from him. Thanks again , would recommend to anyone on holiday in Tenerife and I personally can’t wait to use Tenerife First Excursions again.
