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.

    YOU MUST DO THE SUNSET TOUR!!! We used first excursions to book jet ski’s and the sunset experience on the buggies. The company is very organised and communicates really well, we got picked up from our hotel for the sunset experience and the driver arrived on time. It is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO, you will not regret it. We were worried as it was cloudy on the day we had this booked but once you are above the clouds the sky is unreal. I have never done anything like this before it is so worth the money. But take a jacket/jumper as it is so cold when you go through the clouds, they didn’t tell us this and we were freezing!! You can take snacks and drinks with you but they do provide water. You can buy the neck covers there for €5.

    A great booking experience. Easy booking process for Siam and Loro Park with a better deal on the boat trips than any other shop I had visited. Tenerife First Excursions made booking trips extremely easy and the most reasonably priced in the area.

    If you are wanting any general information or trips then give these guys a visit, they really know what they are doing! Thanks 😁

    This is the best excursion shop in Tenerife. Outstanding customer service and the most helpful staff you can ask for.
    Polish guy Macek was very informative, suggested the best jet-ski in the island which was spot on and gave us amazing price for the catamaran to see dolphins. Thank you guys, you have made our holidays here.
    If you are in Tenerife, head only to Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your holidays perfect.

    We booked a couple of trips on Sunday with Lisa Fay.She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the Island.
    We booked with Tenerife first excursions after seeing Daniel with the Macmaster on youtube.
    We were impressed that Daniel never runs down his competitors.
    We are looking forward to our first trip tomorrow.

    Thank you! My partner and I went to Tenerife without doing much research on what to do beforehand. We were super lucky to meet Patricia who was super helpful showing us the different excursions available and going over everything in great detail. We ended up booking a boat excursion and had the best time. Thank you for the stellar customer service!

    Booked a few excursions. But had an issue with one that didn’t quite give us the experience we were sold. How ever went back to the guys at First Excursions and they couldn’t have been more professional and helpful. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Wouldn’t book an excursion anywhere else. Top quality service!
