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.

    Helpful and professional advice Interaction with Andreea from the get go was flawless and really helpful, guiding us through the options and explaining which one would be our best choice, until we finalized and choose one of our best trips. We definitely would recommend having Andreea as a guide for the reason of being able to make the right choices.

    We wanted to see the dolphins but didn't know which boat to take as there are many options. Both Lea and Danny spent over 30 minutes with us answering our questions and listening to what we wanted to recommend the best option for us, they even checked the weather on the day of our trip to make sure that we would have a pleasant trip, and indeed it was. Thanks!
