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.

    This is the best excursion shop in Tenerife. Outstanding customer service and the most helpful staff you can ask for.
    Polish guy Macek was very informative, suggested the best jet-ski in the island which was spot on and gave us amazing price for the catamaran to see dolphins. Thank you guys, you have made our holidays here.
    If you are in Tenerife, head only to Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your holidays perfect.

    The most amazing and understanding service! I booked a surprise private boat excursion for myself & my husband for his birthday! Unfortunately due to me becoming pregnant & having awful sickness we couldn’t fly out to Tenerife! I contacted the lady I had booked with and she was very understanding & issued a full refund immediately! I can’t thank this. I can’t thank enough & when we can get over to Tenerife I will 💯 be booking any excursions with this company! Many Thanks again for your wonderful & understanding service xxx

    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.
