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.

    Hele leuke ervaring. 8 walvissen gezien! Patrick heeft ons super goed geholpen. Hij was erg enthousiast en heeft ons veel verteld over tenerife en de dieren in de zee. We hebben prachtige walvissen gespot en hij maakte leuke grapjes! Zeker aan te raden. Wij gingen rond 16.00 en we hebben wel 8 walvissen gezien die de kapitein de rest van de dag nog niet gezien had!

    Absolutely spot on. We visited Tenerife a couple of months ago and luckily stumbled upon the lovely Kim of Tenerife First Excursions, she was so nice to us with no pressure sales whatsoever. She made us feel like we were her friends rather than her customers which we really appreciated. She was an absolute joy to chat to to she sorted us out with a couple of great activities that's really was the highlight of our holiday. We would definitely pay Kim a visit if we come back to Tenerife again. Thankyou 🙂.

    FANTASTIC company to deal with. Absolutely fantastic customer service from lisafay today. We saw multiple TikTok’s before we arrived in Tenerife and thought we would give these guys a try, I’m so glad we did. We booked multiple excursions with these guys and got everything we wanted at fantastic prices. We was gifted free monkey park tickets and a 20% voucher for chill box (which is also a fantastic place with fantastic staff. It’s a must, the drinks are to die for). We met mattie in person and the guy behind the camera Colin, great guys. I would highly recommend using Tenerife first excursions and will definitely use them when we visit the island again. Thank you so much guys. (We absolutely love it) 😜😜
