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 difference booking with a rogue company and one with a good reputation and staff!Dan you and your staff are brilliant! We will be back next year!

    À faire absolument !! Superbe équipage et bonne ambiance sur le catamaran. Des sandwichs sont distribués au début de l’excursion et il y a un bar. On a pu observer effectivement quelques petites baleines, dont une avec son bébé c’était incroyable. Le cata s’arrête une grosse demi-heure à flan de falaise pour ceux qui veulent se baigner.

    Holiday trips Booked a catamaran trip and the sunset stargazing tour with mark,pickup from hotel for stargazing and a short walk to pickup point for the catamaran,boat ride went great drinks and lunch included,stopped to admire some pilot whales,great trip and experience,sadly the stargazing was called off due to cloud cover(apparently very uncommon,only 10 or so times a year it happens)it’s agreed that if this does happen you get half your money back and a money off voucher if you can’t rejoin it on another day.had to go back and spoke with Patricia,once we sorted out the booking day and found receipts Patricia sorted out the refund(voucher gets emailed)very promptly,all round a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again when I hopefully get to return to Tenerife.
