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.

    Dan and his co worker where very helpful, sorted us out 2 excursions with short notice for us to do the buggy experience and the freebird dolphin spotting today, which was very good, would definitely recommend both experiences and would recommend these 2 Irishmen which where very funny and they even sent me a courtesy message afterwords to see how the experience was which was very nice of them, true professionals

    By far the best excursion on the island! By far the best thing I have done on the island! Daniel and Danny were superb answered all our questions and was so informative about mount Teide and surroundings. I was already loving the tour until watching the sunset above the clouds was just the perfect ending! They provide full safety gear and a safety talk as well as water. Also we had the most beautiful photos as memories for only €20! Highly recommended this!! Good value for money and a shout out to Emily who picked us up and dropped us off to our hotel she was so lovely and chatty!

    3h whale watching excursion with pick up from Los Cristianos.Unfortunately, my wife was taken ill the morning of our trip, and at very short notice we had to cancel. Rescheduling I thought would be almost impossible at such short notice, so I understood/expected we would lose the money paid out for the trip, or so I thought…. I would like to say a massive thank you to Sahar, who is an absolute star, and after much effort on her part actually managed to rearrange the trip for later in the week. We really appreciate Sahar’s help, total respect.The whale watching trip was fun and amazing, many a spotted dolphin and pilot whale were seen. All in all, a very professional service from start to finish. My thanks to everyone involved.

    CANARY KAYAK TENERIFE Had a brilliant time, instructors were lovely, safety conscious and very informative. Snorkelling with the fish and seeing the wildlife made this trip extra special. We can’t recommend this company enough. Thank you
