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.

    Absolutely amazing Staff It's was absolutely amazing. The boat hat around 12 people on we first we Set off from the docks where we met our host, Fabrizio he was amazing explaining everything to us in detail we were lucky to see some dolphins and by the end of the trip you get a meal that mostly concludes of amazingly seasoned chicken thigh, Veggie rice and Roat potato. After that me and my brothers got out the boat and went for a small swim (recommend wearing shorts/swimming costume under your clothes) Life Jackets are provided for the little ones. All and all an amazing experience, my first time on a boat and definitely not my last !

    Excellent service I previously rated my jet skiing experience as poor but want to add this is through no fault of first excursions or the jet ski company and their customer service is second to none they do not accept your money and forget about you they are with you every step of the way to ensure your experience of excursions is 10/10. I have previously booked through them for sunset buggies, Siam park, boats, jet skis etc and have never had any issue all been brilliant. Tenerife first excursions is a friendly trusted reliable team to book through.

    Great Boat, Great Day and Great Captain. We had a brilliant afternoon as a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 11 and 15. The boat is fab and as they limit the amount of people to 15 or 16, there is loads of room to have your own space. Our trip was full but as you can see from the photo it almost looks empty which to us eas the appeal and therefore don’t mind paying a bit extra. Drinks were free flowing and you could help yourself from the cooler. Lunch was also very tasty. The Captain was great fun, very knowledgeable and made sure we were looked after. I would definitely recommend this trip.

    Everything was so well organised! We were picked up from our hotel and taken to meet the other groups, given a clear introduction on how to drive the buggies, and then off we went. The guides were fantastic – funny, friendly, and always making sure we were safe on the foreign roads. I noticed some very concerned drivers around us, but the guides managed all the junctions, exits, and routes perfectly. It was thrilling, so much fun, and the views were simply breathtaking. An unforgettable experience!
