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 fantastic experience and advice from Tenerife First Excursions. Daniel and any of his team I met were absolutely lovely. Through them, on two trips now, I went paragliding (for first time), Taide star gazing experience, rented mopeds, took an afternoon whale & dolphin cruise, and had wonderful food and nightlife recommendations.

    My girlfriend and I found out about Tenerife First Excursions through tiktok, we walked to the office from Veronica’s and it took 10 minutes.When we got there, the staff were friendly and inviting. The staff are English so there is no language barrier. They ensure when booking you on excursions they are legit and good quality.We were served by Mattie and he was very friendly and eager to help us. He was not pushy and let us take our time to decide, the way he spoke to us and told us straight up about everything was the selling factor for us. We booked JetSkis and a night time quad bike tour, because of purchasing over a certain amount we got free Monkey Park tickets also! Great work to Mattie and the team! We will definitely come back.

    Merece la pena Magnífica travesía. Vimos delfines y calderones aunque lo que te tiene que gustar es navegar ya que tres horas dan para mucho. Nos bañamos y el patrón fue muy agradable. 100 % recomendable. Relacion calidad precio buenísima. Volveremos
