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, 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!

    We booked our kayaking experience with Dan and we couldn't be happier with our decision. He gave us all the necessary information about where the kayaking office is and how it's organized. We had an amazing time. Thank you Dan😊

    Whale of a time I am writing this review on behalf of our granddaughter and her friend. We paid for this boat trip for her birthday. We brought the trip though tenerife first excursions a lovely helpful lady called Lisa Fay. We booked the trip on our last visit. Also booked a jet ski and Siam park .which my granddaughter will do on our next visit in 3 weeks time.
    The boat trip was amazing only 15 people on board. The guys who ran it were lovely and look after all the people on the boat. Carva,
    beer,juice and water plus chicken legs, Canarian potatoes ,bread, rice and more all included. They also saw a family of whales and the seagulls following the boat being fed by the crew. They stopped for a swim by a beach, and snorkels were provided if you wished to use them. All in all for the price a fabulous 3 hours.

    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! :)

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!
