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.

    “We’ve absolutely loved it” We booked around 4 excursions through Tenerife first. They was super quick at replying via their WhatsApp and every single excursion went off without a hitch. All times, locations, QR Codes, Bus rides it was all sorted through Tenerife first. The process has been very straight forward and hassle free and when you’re on holiday that’s exactly what you want. We also did a Stargazing small group excursion which was lead by Ben Simington. We done all the main attractions in Tenerife and can honestly say this was the highlight of our Holiday. Ben ensured we was catered for with dietary requirements and his knowledge on astronomy and Tenerife in general is second to none, a fantastic evening/night we even got to see Saturn with its Ring! We also done a dolphin and whale boat trip with Danny, again very informative on the ocean and was a brilliant skipper. We wholeheartedly recommend both Tenerife First, Ben and Danny to anyone who heads to Tenerife and we will for sure be using again in the future! Thank you Tenerife First for adding to our holiday experience! “we’ve absolutely loved it!” ♥️

    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

    Respectful, passionate and full of knowledge Our captain ‘Guy’ was pleasantly crazy but very respectful to us and most of all the ocean’s wildlife. It seems to be a bit of a rat race of yachts and catamarans for the first sighting before heading off to snorkel. But we decided to take our time, minimize engine use and luckily saw a baby dolphin and some pilot whales, all from a distance safer to them. Guy told us a lot about the island, was extremely passionate about ocean life and our whole eco system. We went on the 4pm trip and were ready to come in, but would have loved a longer trip if budget and time allowed. Be mindful that you may not get a sighting and proactive about communicating what you’d really like out of your sailing.
