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.

    Booked the quads for the kids(17 and 20so not kids really). Had great advice and service from Nathan on booking. Small hiccup with transfer but sorted swiftly and with full apology. Kids had a great time and were well looked after. Even had a friendly message afterwards to check we had had good service and experience. Absolutely would use again for future bookings. Thanks x

    Just finishing off a 3 week holiday in Tenerife with a 5mth old baby and we used Tenerife First Excursions for all of our trips. Laura in the office was great help planning the trips and had lots of tips and advice. Highlights were a sunset boat trip and and star gazing with Night Skies Teneriffe…
    Would have loved the quad tour and some others but we will have to wait a few years for that 😀
    Thanks for making our holiday easier

    Amazing Met Dan, and he set us up perfectly for the stargazing, a boat trip on the on the largest rib in the world and the jungle park. Everything lived up to what he said it would be! My misses loved everything we did. He was very knowledgeable about the traveling and the weather plus he helped with us pick the perfect trips as it was special time for us. His local knowledge was spot on. Thank you Dan and Tenerife first excursions you made our holiday
