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.

    Nicht 08/15 Das Boot war sehr gepflegt. Die Aufteilung, das Platzverhältnis mit den anderen Touristen war sehr gut und nicht beengend. Das Essen( Paella und Hähnchenbrust) war noch warm und sehr lecker. Zudem gab es gekühlte Getränke alkoholisch und alkoholfrei nach Wahl und soviel man mochte. ein tolles Highlight neben den gesehenen Delphinen war das Schwimmen im Meer! Die Reise / das Event ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

    Met Linda this evening with only a few days left of our holiday. She was so lovely and very attentive. We told her what we were really wanting to do but also open to recommendations, she went through it all with us and was very personable. Would highly recommend booking through them. Can’t wait for our excursions now- day boat trip to see the dolphins and whales, swimming in the sea with snacks and drinks included (3hrs). Also, sunset buggy with snack and soft drink included.Thank you again Linda!!

    Paragliding 1000m We did the 1000m paragliding and loved every minute. We will use this company for more excursions when we’re back in Tenerife next time.
