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.

    A great day Whale Watching This turned out to be a great day. The crew were all very sweet , helpful and friendly and we actually got to see 13 whales that day on April 19th, 2023. The boat was large enough where everyone got a seat or a place to watch. We are vegan, and pre-ordered a vegan meal of Paella, and it was tasty. They had a swim session at the endl. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour.

    Tenerife First Excursions is First for a Reason! This is the ONLY company to go with if you are planning excursions in Tenerife as they put customers first! 👏 I booked the TEIDE+ICOD+GARACHICO tour to better know Tenerife and the customer service I received here from Kim and Kayleigh was exemplary!!! 👏They made sure I knew where I was going and even arranged a ride for me to the stop to catch the bus. Communication was excellent especially when I ran into a problem with the guide from Island tours that was leading this bus tour. The scenery was breathtaking so don’t miss out on what this volcanic island has to offer with Tenerife First Excursions!

    Tenerife First Excursions we will be back!! It was always our plan to purchase from Tenerife First Excursions after watching The Craicmaster since he very first started on YouTube. We popped down to Los Cris and we’re seen to by the lovely Sarah who done us a fab deal on 2 excursions. We left a deposit and came back today to pay the rest and to our surprise, look who we bumped into. The big man himself and not forgetting lovely Matty, safe to say this made our day and what a lovely genuine guy he is and all the staff are fab. We had a great chat and banter with everyone. Thank you everyone, it was great to meet you all!!! I would definitely recommend taking the yacht tried, not overcrowded and staff on board were amazing ..
