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.

    Excellent service. We were recommended by this company in Los Cristianos while we were there. We wanted car hire for a few days as we were staying in Golf del sur. We were contacted by Lindsay, who was very professional. The hire company Luxury cars were so efficient. Piotr was so friendly, from dropping the car off to us taking it to the airport. We met Lindsay at the Tenerife Royal golf course office, and she was very efficient at her job.

    Excellent experience!!!! All excursions were on time, staff provided instructions and they were very polite. My favourite excursion was boat trip to El Puertito. Patrick is an experienced sailor and a great host. Lovely and snacks made by himself . Whale watching was an unique moment!! Definitely do it again. Special thanks to Kim for organising everything for us 👍🏼
