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.

    Amazing boat trip This was such a lovely boat ride! Patrick was an amazing guide and super pleasant to be around. We saw pilot whales and a few turtles. The boat does go quite slow, so something to keep in mind if you get sea sick easily as it was very bumpy!

    Super quick and easy service Our hotel couldn’t book us the water sports package we wanted, so we walked down the seafront to find a shop to book with. Came across these guys and Mattie had it booked for us within a couple of minutes and gave us loads of tips and info about the island. Really quick and made it so easy for us, would recommend to anyone visiting!

    May 2023 Another excellent visit to Kim at Tenerife First. As before she provided a n excellent service sorting out two tours for us. Also meet Daniel, Tenerife First owner for the first time having seen him on YouTube many times. April 2022 Thank you Dan for telling us about Tenerife First and and a extra big thank you to Kim for taking the time to help us with our excursions. A first class service that went well beyond what we have received elsewhere in the past from other sources.

    Amazing, fun and exciting experience Absolutely amazing experience, it was kind of scary at the start but unbelievable when we got the hang of it, I 100% recommend this jet ski experience! Staff were friendly and nice, they also take professional photos of everyone on their jetski that you can buy once you're finished which is cool! I'd definitely go again!

    Great service These guys really looked after us while we were in Tenerife. We booked a boat trip with them plus Siam park. The boat trip was fantastic and the whole family really enjoyed it. Unfortunately one of our children fell really unwell so we wasn’t able to make Siam park but these guys sorted it all out for us. Amazing service and we would use anyone else. Thank you all for the experience and help.
