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.

    Pleasant boat ride Spacious boat, did not get seasick. Did see some whales. Fun getting in the water, but Tenerife isn’t really a snorkeling destination, so nothing to see. Lunch was substantial, not just snacks like other tour options. The captain was interesting lol. Very thick Italian accent and his voice does not project, so everyone had trouble hearing and/or understanding him, and he’d get progressively frustrated when he repeated himself. This is not to say he wasn’t nice, he still kept everyone’s glasses full and was helpful whenever anyone had questions.

    Lindsey is great Lindsey made hiring a mustang for the day extremely easy. It gives you peace of mind organising through Tenerife first excursions as you know you can trust them and that’s important when dealing with deposits in a foreign country. Had the best day hiring the mustang. Lindsey is extremely knowledgable and helpful!

    Informative and great value A fantastic experience. I was slightly concerned we would be cornered in to buying v expensive drinks and snacks but the cafe we stopped at was very reasonably priced. Drinks started at 1 euro and a slice of delicious cake was 2 euros. The trip was really informative and the stops were well paced. I took my two boys who are 8 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't get bored. We took a picnic and ye that at the longest stop. You do need warm clothes, plenty of layers but it wasn't too cold.
