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.

    I popped into their Pueblo Canario branch and spoke to Mattie, we brought 5 excursions for our party of 4, decent chunk of our budget but we was advised what things were like and we were allowed to form our own opinion, nothing forced down our throat.

    Great customer service, would highly recommend!

    Thanks

    Good few hours out Wasn’t what I expected for the price as I’ve paid less and got more value for money but the driver (captain?) not sure what you call them lol, was very nice. The drinks were cheap sodas, didn’t eat the sandwich. We did spot 2 dolphins on the way back, and saw a few turtles. The stop off to jump in the sea was fun and a good snorkelling opportunity. The sun spot on front was lovely. It was very clean and overall a great experience I think the only let down was the food and drink but I suppose it wasn’t a long enough trip to expect more. Would definitely recommend for couples

    Sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide Me and my partner booked with Trev who was super helpful and friendly and made it all really easy. We done the sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide which I would highly recommend to anyone. It was super fun driving the buggies and the views at the top were beyond stunning! Would definitely recommend booking through tenerife first excursions and would use again if we came back.

    Amazing What an amazing few hours. Many thanks to our skipper Guy, who made it a fantastic experience.His passion for the sea and its wildlife is extraordinary.We were lucky to see some dolphins and whales, but the trip was so much more than that.Our group has been on the much larger boat tours, but we won’t be doing that again, the smaller boat was so much nicer.The weather meant that Guy was able to cut the engines and sail for a while.100% recommend this trip.Many thanks.
