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.

    Water fun galore! What an incredible experience from start to finish! We dealt with the lovely Laura who couldn’t have been more friendly and knowledgable on what we could do as a family during our time in Tenerife. Our younger boys loved the jet skis, adrenaline-fueled fun was had all around! We also booked Siam Park and a whale watching trip through Tenerife First Excursions. We come every year and now know who we can rely on for great service and the best excursions! Great company, and Laura is an incredible asset!

    Excellent Customer Service We booked the Teide by night trip through Lorena at the new Las Américas office. Unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to cloudy conditions but Lorena processed our refund straight away with no hassle whatsoever. Hopefully we’ll get to rebook next time we’re back in Tenerife

    I contacted Tenerife First Excursions via watsapp and got a response very quickly from Sue ! I was sent a list of prices for karting and was offered to be picked up . As soon as I made the payment the invoice was sent immediately . Once we arrived at the venue my son was able to go straight on the karts and it's all very well arranged ! I'm really happy with the service I received and will definitely use the company again . Thank you !

    Amazing Service and experiences ! I Wouldn’t book with anyone else in Tenerife.We spoke to the lovely Lisa Fay who was friendly and professional throughout. Lisa was attentive with what we wanted to do and found the best excursions to suit us and our needs with amazing deals which you can’t find anywhere else on the island. I couldn’t recommend this company enough, so helpful and provide you with lots of information about each trip. 100% the highlight of the holiday, we will definitely be using them again without a doubt😊!
