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.

    Nous avons réservé deux excursions avec eux et nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Je vous les recommande car niveau rapport qualité prix ils sont au top, ils ne vous vendent pas du rêve comme beaucoup d’autres bureaux d’excursions sur l’île. Merci à Christian pour les tuyaux et à Mattie pour son accueil au bureau ! See you next year 😎

    Thoroughly enjoyed the jet ski tour!! I was concerned that the jet ski tour would be a little to much for my grand daughter but Laura, the lady that arranged it for us, assured us she would be fine and looked after us. Thank you very much.

    Brilliant tour with great Captain 👩‍✈️ Thanks for the nice tour and the great Captain Jie (hope I wrote correctly). The daughter had the best birthday and nature lesson. She learned a lot of new things about the inhabitants of the water.

    Trip to La Palma We took a day trip to La Palma from Tenerife on the Fred Olsen Ferry. We had a wonderful day. The arrangements were seamless. We were picked up at the port in La Palma and travelled on a very comfortable bus around the island. We viewed the devastation caused by the recent volcanic eruption and got a feel for the impact it had on the lives of those who live there. A lovely lunch in a small harbour before returning. We also had the opportunity to spend some time in the very quaint town of La Palma. Our guide Mattie was excellent and switched between Spanish and English with ease. An excellent day but be warned the chopping is often rough so take seasick tablets!

    We booked through this company just before we fly out out on Thursday. We had heard great reviews. Booked with Kim and she was so so helpful, a really lovely lady and gave us some great recommendations and deals. We booked the buggy tour, Loro park and Siam waterpark. We look forward to coming. Thanks!!
