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.

    Good experience and value for money We went to the office in Tenerife and Laura showed us different experiences that Tenerife First Excursion offered. She helped me pick experiences that were age appropriate for my daughter and we got really good prices! Laura was professional and had great knowledge of what she could offer. We visit Tenerife once a year and we will always go back to Laura.

    Book this trip! This trip was great value for money, with beer and a sandwich included. We saw wales, unfortunately no dolphins but we came across a hammerhead shark. We also stopped to swim in a bay… 100% worth the money, if in doubt book the trip!

    Personne super sympa qui nous a filé des tuyaux pour le parc aquatique SIAM PARC.En fait, il nous a déconseillé de prendre leur bus car ils font pas mal d'arrêt & du coup on arrive tard alors que le parc ouvre avant l'heure indiquée. Et on a fait un peu la queue, mais franchement c'était assez rapide car on a acheté les billets chez Tenerife First Excursions puis on a pris un taxi près de l'église, genre 8€ la course. Pour le retour, ne faites pas la queue pour un taxi car il y a foule!!! il y a des bus si vous marchez genre 15min en sortant du parc, prenez vers la droite & traversez le pont, vous verrez une station de bus & pour 1€ on était à Los Cristianos.

    Sunset, stars & moon! Booked from the UK over Facebook with Ross, communication was brilliant and the booking system was very efficient. Great experience would highly recommend. The meal was very basic and not really a 3 course it was just a bread roll, chicken or fish with rice and potatoes then a small portion of a dessert. The kids loved their homemade chicken nuggets though but make sure you request them as soon as you arrive! (Take snacks for younger children).The tour was brilliant and the tour guide really know their stuff! We were so glad we decided to do this trip as it’s something we will remember forever! Thank you Laurie Delisle

    Top-ervaringen Fantastische ervaring op de jetski en geweldige buggyrit by night op de Teide. Goeie keuze van partners voor de uitvoering van de excursies. Twee aanraders. Sarah van Tenerife First Excursions is behulpzaam, niet opdringerig en afspraken werden perfect nagekomen.

    Arrivé le 18/08 sur l’île de Tenerife et plus aucun moyen de locomotion à louer ! Sauf que j’ai croisé Lisafay lors de ma première promenade à Costa Adeje. Cette ravissante et pétillante femme m’a trouvé une moto pour le lendemain et pour 4 jours. La découverte de l’île a commencé ainsi et je lui en suis très reconnaissant.Bien entendu, je recommande vivement Tenerife First Excursions.Même quand cela devient impossible, c’est possible !!! ❤️
