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.

    Guter Quadeinsteigerkurs Alles ingesamt erfreulich. Wer noch keine Erfahrungen mit Quads hat, kann sich auf ein gutes Training freuen. Die Quads lassen sich leucht fahren, da sie automatisch schalten .. also einfach fahren. Dennoch unterschätzt die Sache nicht .. vorsichtig fahren .. 2 drei Stellen waren nicht ganz einfach für Anfänger. Lasst Euch nicht von Touristen ärgern, die behaupten, dass die Bikes Mist wären. Kleinere Benzinmotoren können schnell mal absaufen oder andres .. Wenns garnicht geht findet ihr mit den freundlichen Team sicher eine Lösung, dass ihr an einem andren Tag noch mal fahren dürf. Die Leute sind nett und bemüht. Mit nur meckern, wurde noch nie was erreicht.

    Booked a few excursions. But had an issue with one that didn’t quite give us the experience we were sold. How ever went back to the guys at First Excursions and they couldn’t have been more professional and helpful. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Wouldn’t book an excursion anywhere else. Top quality service!
