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.

    Atlantic Rose We were out on the Atlantic Rose from Puerto Colon today. We had a great time on this yacht, just 10 of us, watching the bottle nosed whales drinking wine, eating scrummy baguettes and swimming. So relaxing. The skipper Jesus and co skipper Thomas really looked after us well. Happy to have been a part of this experience. Thanks Tenerife excursions for the recommendation.

    Best sunset tour I booked this tour with Tenerife first Excursions having read other people's reviews myself. They were not wrong. This tour was exceptional from beginning to end. Hannah sue and Andrea were so helpful with me booking for a large group and I felt totally confident paying online before my trip. The tour itself was just breath taking. I have never seen such a beautiful sunset. Julien and Marco at JLD Quads were such lovely friendly lads with a perfect balance of fun and safety. We felt totally confident on the quads, even on our way back in the dark. They have everything you could think of covered and the photos they did for us during the tour were amazing. They even went to the trouble of having suprise cake and bubbly for me on our return as I had mentioned that I was booking the tour as a 60th Birthday celebration with my adult kids. We all agreed after that it was one of the best family tours we have ever done. 5 stars. 10/10! Also these were one of the few companies offering a tranfer to and from the meeting point which was a major bonus and the tranfer was in a lovely comfortable air conditioned mini bus and pick up was exactly when they said it would be and very easy communication with the lovely driver.
