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.

    Couldn’t recommend this group enough. I booked all my excursions with them as a package with a discount rate originally just questioning prices via Instagram. Dan from the group then sent me all his contact details and invoices instantly. We done Buggy’s, Siam, the yacht & night skies for a very good price. Dan in particular was very helpful. Always reachable via text message on WhatsApp at anytime of the day and very professional..Thanks to all the team even Evelyn on the yacht. Free drink’s sandwiches etc.Trish & Wes Dublin IrelandHard rock hotel Tenerife22/09/23 to 2/09/23

    Amazing boat trip This was such a lovely boat ride! Patrick was an amazing guide and super pleasant to be around. We saw pilot whales and a few turtles. The boat does go quite slow, so something to keep in mind if you get sea sick easily as it was very bumpy!

    I could not recommend these guys enough ✨ We did this on one of our last days just to spread all our excursions out! It was absolutely amazing! The tour guides were so lovely and made sure we were safe but enjoying it at the same time. The views were breath taking! I would recommend to anyone going to Tenerife! We also had 3 other excursions booked (self hire boat, sun set tour and clear kayaking) with the team and they were all amazing! Dan booked us in for them all and he was so lovely! Made sure they were all worth our while! We had one excursion cancelled due to the weather and the team were amazing made sure we had our money back straight away and offered other excursions! The whole team are so helpful and active on socials if you needed to contact them. I can not recommend Tenerife first excursion enough! (Especially Dan in Los Cristos) Thank you so much we will definitely be using you guys again on our next trip to Tenerife ✨

    1hr jet ski excursion solo Mark is charismatic and reliable, he answered all questions and even gave substitutes for activities, my first jet ski company was miles away and I couldn’t get there easily but he had another company that would pick up and drop off at my hotel. My mrs didn’t want to go and was worried about me going alone but put her mind at ease when pointing out set the set up eg good quality gear, good guilds and the system they have in place so you are safe as well as having fun. In short I had an amazing time and would definitely do it again, having contact with mark via what’s app with fast replies also helps as it just shows the legitimacy of the excursions.

    !!!Merece la pena!!! Hemos pasado unas horas magníficas hoy 5/10/21 en esta excursión de avistamiento de ballenas y delfines.!Que gran conducción de Xabi.Nos permitió "sentir" ese balanceo grato y el juego de ver las olas q se hacían más grandes a nuestro paso.Era la sensación perfecta para sentirte en vacaciones.Aunque la excursión durara 3 horas.Todo estaba preparado con calma.Y el con su actitud,su información precisa,entretenida,nos ayudaba más a vivir esta sensación.Capte q el único barco cercano...cuando llegamos a la zona de familias de ballenas...que apagó hasta el motor,fue el nuestro.Eso hizo q al poco se dejaran ver con más frecuencia las ballenas.!Genial!Nos encantó la calma de la excursión.La mayoría del grupo se lanzó al agua...y regresaron con calma para comer lo que nos ofrecían como Tour(oportuno,sencillo y sandwiches sabrosos).Pudimos navegar ratos y a la par sentir que el tiempo pasaba con calma!! Repetiremos con familia q vive en Bélgica a fines de Abril ...y no pudieron esta vez,por la inquietud de erupción Volcan de La Palma.GRACIAS.Ximena y Luis
