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.

    Amazon and well-organised tour to Teide National Park We had a great Day in Teide National Park. This is a very impressing and unique area - the volcanos were amazing. The Team also booked whale watching and a car for two days, for us. The agency is very well organised, family-friendly and absolutely focused on clients needs - they made sure that we had Tour with a German-speaking Tour guide and that we got the right booster seats in the car -this was important for our kids. Excellent Service. Thank you very much, Team.

Emily and Dan were amazing guides, made the trip very interactive, fun… they were fab. Pay rise please ha ha This is a must do!!! Seeing the sunset, riding on the quad, the amazing views, sipping on lovely non- alcoholic cava and watching the sunset with a wonderful group was priceless. Would definitely do it again when I visit with friends!!!

    Tenerife First Excursions provided exceptional customer service. I inquired about a trip to Loro Parque, and they promptly responded within a few hours via WhatsApp. They provided me with a quote and were able to accommodate me on the following day. Additionally, they provided detailed information regarding the coach stop location, making it convenient for me to board the coach. Their friendly and efficient service was evident from the beginning. I highly recommend contacting them for your excursion needs.

    The highlight of our holiday Absolutely amazing experience! We stumbled upon one of the Tenerife First Excursions sales booth on our way back to the hotel one evening, a bit drunk and up for some adventure. We were greeted by the wonderful Lisa Fay and she recommended the Opera 60 experience. Due to before said drunkenness we did not make the booking at that point but she gave us a direct contact number. Few days later I called her and she immediately made all the arrangements for us and was so helpful! The cruise was amazing, lovely staff, nice food and drinks and just an overall brilliant experience. Great value for money, easy to recommend! :)
