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.

Kim and Patricia were amazing, they helped us a lot with picking excursions with best experiences. They were available for all of our questions, and helped solve all of our problems. They really showed us how much they care about their customers. I highly recommend this company!

    À faire absolument !! Superbe équipage et bonne ambiance sur le catamaran. Des sandwichs sont distribués au début de l’excursion et il y a un bar. On a pu observer effectivement quelques petites baleines, dont une avec son bébé c’était incroyable. Le cata s’arrête une grosse demi-heure à flan de falaise pour ceux qui veulent se baigner.

    Everything was so well organised! We were picked up from our hotel and taken to meet the other groups, given a clear introduction on how to drive the buggies, and then off we went. The guides were fantastic – funny, friendly, and always making sure we were safe on the foreign roads. I noticed some very concerned drivers around us, but the guides managed all the junctions, exits, and routes perfectly. It was thrilling, so much fun, and the views were simply breathtaking. An unforgettable experience!

    Fabulous We had the best afternoon after Ross in the Los Cristianos branch persuaded us to take the 3 hour all inclusive yacht charter to see the whales and dolphins. The skipper was really informative and friendly and made the whole afternoon a great experience! We saw some pilot whales really close to us in the water which was a great bonus! Thanks Ross for recommending this it was well worth it!
