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.

    Full day guided tour of La Palma visiting the erupting volcano What a great day out. First thoughts was that it was a bit morbid viewing peoples misery when they have lost their homes . But in doing this tour, I feel we were able to assist the local economy which is being affected by the reduction in numbers of tourist due to the volcano eruption. The ship sailed promptly at 08:30 from los Christianos arriving at 10:15 at Santa Cruz. Stopped off at 2 great view points on the journey across the island heading to Tazacorte where we had a three course meal. The coach guide was very knowledgeable and pointing out things of interest. Eventually we arrived at the viewing point overlooking the volcano and lava streams. What a levelling experience, sadly seeing houses half covered in lava. Then off back to Santa Cruz for the ferry back to los Christianos arriving back at 19:15. This was a really enjoyable day out. We booked through Tenerife First excursions after seeing positive reviews. It was easy enough to do online. We were in touch with Kim who made everything feel no trouble at all. I would definitely use Tenerife first excursions again👍👍. They are very professional and know there stuff, thanks for your help Kim.

    1hr jet ski excursion solo Mark is charismatic and reliable, he answered all questions and even gave substitutes for activities, my first jet ski company was miles away and I couldn’t get there easily but he had another company that would pick up and drop off at my hotel. My mrs didn’t want to go and was worried about me going alone but put her mind at ease when pointing out set the set up eg good quality gear, good guilds and the system they have in place so you are safe as well as having fun. In short I had an amazing time and would definitely do it again, having contact with mark via what’s app with fast replies also helps as it just shows the legitimacy of the excursions.

    FALTÓ LA SUERTE PERO LO INTENTÓ HASTA EL FINAL Hicimos una excursión de avistamiento con ellos de 3 horas, y estuvo todo perfecto salvo que este día los animalitos no estaban por la labor de mostrarse.Excursión en velero, nosotros éramos 11 personas en total, el velero tiene una zona en la popa junto al capitán de bancos cubiertos por un toldo y también puedes ir en proa al aire libre sentado en la cubierta.Prácticamente al salir te llevan a una cala donde puedes tomar un baño y hacer snorkel, y a la vez sirven la comida que consiste en unas porciones de baguette con jamón, queso, tomate y lechuga, correctos sin más, sirven para alimentarte y si no eres de ir en barco mejor no comer mucho por los mareos. También te ofrecen refrescos y cervezas libremente.Nuestro capitán se pasó las 3 h (menos el tiempo del almuerzo) buscando las ballenas pero ese día no hubo suerte, a pesar de estar comunicado con los compañeros y estar todos barriendo la zona en su busca, este día no se quisieron mostrar, una lástima pero al menos disfrutamos del paseo en barco.Nos comentó que no es lo habitual así que animaos a hacerlo, mucho mejor verlos aquí en libertad que en una piscina de un parque.

    Couldn’t recommend this group enough. I booked all my excursions with them as a package with a discount rate originally just questioning prices via Instagram. Dan from the group then sent me all his contact details and invoices instantly. We done Buggy’s, Siam, the yacht & night skies for a very good price. Dan in particular was very helpful. Always reachable via text message on WhatsApp at anytime of the day and very professional..Thanks to all the team even Evelyn on the yacht. Free drink’s sandwiches etc.Trish & Wes Dublin IrelandHard rock hotel Tenerife22/09/23 to 2/09/23
