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.

    I booked two trips with first excursions tenerife. A boat trip to see whales and dolphins and kayaking to see dolphins and turtles both trip where fantastic well organised and excellently ran events. Daniel is friendly, professional and very honest. He pointed out that seeing the wildlife was not a guarantee. Thankfully he was wrong, both trips delivered on the dolphins, whales and turtles. I can't recommend Frist Excursions Tenerife and his advice and trips highly enough. 10/10 to Daniel and his team.

    Very friendly and easy communication We went to Tenerife for the second time this week gone and we booked Kayaking and also a Catamaran trip via Mark at Tenerife First. He was great to deal with, not pushy at all and very happy to answer any questions about the activities. The Kayaking had to be rescheduled due to bad weather and Mark sorted that for us as well. Really friendly and easy going atmosphere, would book again. The activities were great, such a nice way to end our holiday. Thanks!

    Amazing What an amazing few hours. Many thanks to our skipper Guy, who made it a fantastic experience.His passion for the sea and its wildlife is extraordinary.We were lucky to see some dolphins and whales, but the trip was so much more than that.Our group has been on the much larger boat tours, but we won’t be doing that again, the smaller boat was so much nicer.The weather meant that Guy was able to cut the engines and sail for a while.100% recommend this trip.Many thanks.

    Amazing! Bucket list experience! Do it! Booked our trip with Mark at Tenerife First Excursions, got quote initially before we booked it, got another quote further up the front was a lot more expensive. Went back to mark who then knocked a further discount off as we booked another trip along with this one. Mark was great, not pushy at all, great down to earth guy and will Definitely book through him in the future. The buggy trip was fantastic, thought I might have been scared going through the mountains but felt very safe, plenty of guides out with you on the trip. Well Worth the money! Views are amazing! Thank you !
