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 mejor que ver las ballenas Tenerife es único. Si no tuviera la vida echa en otra parte, aquí me venía a vivir. Y la gente estupenda, simpática, amables abiertos. Las ballenas bueno fue una experiencia de tres horas, las vimos a lo lejos, pero mo vimos nada más. Te Dan una pulga de bocadillo y una vbebida al empezar y casi al acabar.

    Fab experience, great communication with the guys too!!! Much appreciated ☺️ So so SO good, the captain was fab and very accommodating! Safe trip even though the sea was verryyy choppy (which made us feel abit sick). I just also want to give a MASSIVE thank you to the guys for waiting and great communication on WhatsApp! We were running late due to being delayed on another activity, however the guys were fab at talking and letting us jump on board even when we ran late!! Very much appreciated 🥰 overall, an amazing experience seeing loads of dolphins and the snorkelling was great fun! 10/10 would recommend

    Guter Quadeinsteigerkurs Alles ingesamt erfreulich. Wer noch keine Erfahrungen mit Quads hat, kann sich auf ein gutes Training freuen. Die Quads lassen sich leucht fahren, da sie automatisch schalten .. also einfach fahren. Dennoch unterschätzt die Sache nicht .. vorsichtig fahren .. 2 drei Stellen waren nicht ganz einfach für Anfänger. Lasst Euch nicht von Touristen ärgern, die behaupten, dass die Bikes Mist wären. Kleinere Benzinmotoren können schnell mal absaufen oder andres .. Wenns garnicht geht findet ihr mit den freundlichen Team sicher eine Lösung, dass ihr an einem andren Tag noch mal fahren dürf. Die Leute sind nett und bemüht. Mit nur meckern, wurde noch nie was erreicht.

    Great boat trip - we saw the whales & dolphins We had a lovely time in the Opera 60, unlike other boat trips there was loads of space and only about 14 guests. We got to see the whales & dolphins and swim in a lovely bay. The Captain was knowledgeable and a little eccentric, he provided drinks and served a lovely lunch of chicken, rice & salad. Having done other boat trips in Tenerife, this is my favourite due to it being so intimate - other boats can pack you in like sardines. This boat on the choppy waves did make some a little sea sick! I’d do this trip again and again :0)
