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.

    Richie & top class customer experience We visited on our first couples holiday Sep 24 to the new shop next to chill box in playa de las americas. Richie was absolutely spot on. Didn’t have a tui rep in our hotel. First day here visited him and booked all our trips for the week, Siam park, loro park, helicopter tour and jet skis. Really looked after us with info and communication was class. Felt secure booking and a very trustworthy person/company as we always second guess the trips we book but reassured everything will be taken care of. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting to book through Richie/Tenerife First Excursions and will be back next time for sure. Thank you very much!

    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!

    We found this place, as we watch Matt on Facebook and TikTok. I messaged the number linked to there Facebook page and they got back to me straight away answering my questions and told me where the nearest shop was. We walked there, only 20 minutes away right by the golden mile. Lorena was there, smile at the ready, and helped us within 5 minutes. Gave us all the information we needed and walked out happy and ready to go on the trips we have booked. Thank you Lorena, you are a credit to the company!! Xx
