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.

    A great booking experience. Easy booking process for Siam and Loro Park with a better deal on the boat trips than any other shop I had visited. Tenerife First Excursions made booking trips extremely easy and the most reasonably priced in the area.

    If you are wanting any general information or trips then give these guys a visit, they really know what they are doing! Thanks 😁

    Buggy ride Went on the off road buggy experience and it was awesome 😀 very dusty as you're on dirt tracks but an amazing thrill. You have to drive on the roads to get there, then blast around the dirt tracks before driving around Las Americas on your way back to base. I highly recommend it for anyone of any age (I'm 55!) And not expensive either 😍

    Respectful, passionate and full of knowledge Our captain ‘Guy’ was pleasantly crazy but very respectful to us and most of all the ocean’s wildlife. It seems to be a bit of a rat race of yachts and catamarans for the first sighting before heading off to snorkel. But we decided to take our time, minimize engine use and luckily saw a baby dolphin and some pilot whales, all from a distance safer to them. Guy told us a lot about the island, was extremely passionate about ocean life and our whole eco system. We went on the 4pm trip and were ready to come in, but would have loved a longer trip if budget and time allowed. Be mindful that you may not get a sighting and proactive about communicating what you’d really like out of your sailing.

    Great service These guys really looked after us while we were in Tenerife. We booked a boat trip with them plus Siam park. The boat trip was fantastic and the whole family really enjoyed it. Unfortunately one of our children fell really unwell so we wasn’t able to make Siam park but these guys sorted it all out for us. Amazing service and we would use anyone else. Thank you all for the experience and help.
