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.

    Absolutely a mind blowing experience!!!! Not one to miss!!! The whole experience was amazing, in my Husband’s words “ one of my best holiday experiences ever!”. Emily and Dan were amazing guides, made the trip very interactive, fun… they were fab. Pay rise please ha ha This is a must do!!! Seeing the sunset, riding on the quad, the amazing views, sipping on lovely non- alcoholic cava and watching the sunset with a wonderful group was priceless. Would definitely do it again when I visit with friends!!!

    A lot of excursion reps are a bit annoying and just want their commission but not Matt at Tenerife First Excursions, he took the time to just talk to us of course he did tell us about the excursions we enquired about but on the whole we chatted and this made us go back the next day and book with him
    He was so helpful and a thoroughly a good guy, go see him

    True yacht experience, cool captain It was not too crowded (10 people); yacht was nice; captain was nice; overall ticket is not too expensive!! Especially compared to those big catamaran yachts where you have 50+ people this was very good! Totally recommend!

    2 hour jet ski safari Today we went on the 2 hour jet ski safari which was booked and arranged by Sarah she was absolutely brilliant organised pick up for us. When we arrived at flash jet ski we was kindly greeted by a lady unfortunately I didn’t get her name but she was so lovely and reassuring, the 2 gentlemen who took us out was great as well. Has a fabulous time!! Went on a double jet ski driving is definitely more fun than being on the back 🫣!!! Thank you so much Sarah for arranging this for us and thank you for arranging Siam park and freebird dolphin and whale watching experience!!
