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.

    Interesting evening surfing our galaxy Make syre you have your phone on half ann hour before your pick up time as they will call you if they are running late.We were in a small group of 6 (there was a bus as well). Very informative guides. Meal was basic but had Cava/soft drink further on at sunset and a small hot chocolate, ironically whilst exploring our Galaxy.With this trip photographs are taken by your guides: of you; the group; sunset and stars. These are available through a link later and included in the cost.It is a late finish don't plan anything for early next day, like us!

    Thank you so much for helping with our booking! Went on the kalimakat catamaran trip and everything was just perfect from start to finish. Lovely crew, saw plenty of dolphins and turtles! Stopped for a sea swim in a lovely spot and then were served a lovely rice dish with unlimited drinks. Overall a fantastic few hours!

    I cannot recommend Tenerife First Excursions more if I tried! Danny, Kim and the entire team are exactly what you are looking for in an excursion business. They are a team they do not just look out for themselves but strive to make sure everything is running like a well oiled machine so that the customer is well taken care of. I have used Dannys company a few times and each time everything I have asked for has been organised to the exact detail. Friendly, organised and just a company that deserves to be up there with the best on the island.I just want to say thank you for everything and I will be back very soon!

The trip is well thought out and well structured.We were well looked after by the perfect host.You have the glamourous departure and cavaYou watch for whalesYou moor up for lunch and swimming in a pretty bayYou go back with nice music playing not too loud with lovely views of the coastlineIt is a slick operation and probably the best boat trip I have ever been on.
