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.

    You can't guarantee the weather! We booked the half-day trip to Mount Teide with Daniel in Los Cristianos, including the cable cars to the top. On the day it was raining and windy, so the cable car part was unfortunately cancelled. Back to kiosk for a refund when we returned and Mark couldn't have been more helpful. No quibbles, swiftly dealt with and the money was back in our account the following day. The trip was still very enjoyable and very informative. Definitely recommend.

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.

    Service above and beyond As Daniel helped keep us sane through lockdown I thought it only fair to book my excursions with TFE. I am severely sight impaired so my options for excursions is a little limited but Mike in the LC branch went above and beyond to make sure my trips were the best experiance possible - checking and rechecking the best possible date for the Tiede by night trip so I could see as many stars as possible and sorting a most excellent jeep safari to Tiede and Masca. The level of service you get from TFE is second to none and I would never even think of using anyone else for my excursions. Thanks a million, guys ans Keep it Country!

    Geweldige excursies! Tijdens onze zussen-vakantie hebben wij 2 excursies geboekt bij Tenerife First: quad tour in El Teide en kajakken/snorkelen met dolfijnen en schildpadden spotten. Daniel hielp ons goed met het uitzoeken wat we konden doen en raadde goede bedrijven aan. Wij hadden het kajakken geboekt bij Canary Kayak Tenerife waarbij het bedrijf werd gerund door een super lief koppel die ook foto’s en video’s namen van de excursie. Deze kreeg je achteraf ook via whatsapp doorgestuurd. Super leuk als herinnering! De quad tour door El Teide hebben we geboekt bij @quadebuggypiratitenerife. Marie, die onze tour begeleidde, is heel lief en heeft zo’n leuke vibe. Tijdens de tour zijn er een paar stops waarbij je kan genieten van het uitzicht en tijd hebt om foto’s te maken. Als je deze tour wilt doen raad ik je aan om het in de ochtend te doen omdat het in de middag te warm is.Thanks Daniel! Wij hebben een leuke vakantie gehad en hebben mooie herinneringen gemaakt :)
