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.

    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!

    These girls are worth their weight in gold. They helped me before I had even flown to Tenerife and every day I have been here. They are amazing and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my excursions.
    Massive shout out to the girls at HQ who have had my back throughout this amazing holiday.
    All I can say is listen to the girls and take their advice and you won’t be sorry, they are amazing through and through.
    Thank you to you all. Love to all.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

    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 😎
