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.

    Car hire Lindsay was amazing when it came to finding us the perfect car for hire! We was a little apprehensive with it being our first time driving abroad and not knowing where to start but Lindsay secured us a fab deal! Original pricing was a little outside our budget range on site but Lindsay kindly enquired with several companies to get us the best deal, they even dropped the car off and will pick it up once finished. Again, Lindsay checked in with us following pick up to make sure everything was OK and gave us a few driving tips! Thanks again, will most certainly rent again on our next trip x

    Buggie tour We zijn bij het hotel opgehaald door de lieve mensen van de buggies, netjes uitleg gekregen over de veiligheid van de buggies etc... daarna snel de weg op richting de vulkaan, prachtige omgeving en super leuk om zelf te mogen rijden. Fantastisch uitzicht en een mega leuke ervaring. We kregen uitleg over de vulkaan en de omgeving, na de dag zijn we weer netjes bij het hotel gebracht. Super!

    Met Linda this evening with only a few days left of our holiday. She was so lovely and very attentive. We told her what we were really wanting to do but also open to recommendations, she went through it all with us and was very personable. Would highly recommend booking through them. Can’t wait for our excursions now- day boat trip to see the dolphins and whales, swimming in the sea with snacks and drinks included (3hrs). Also, sunset buggy with snack and soft drink included.Thank you again Linda!!
