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.

    Amazing We booked 4 trips with Lisa Fay and she was so helpful! We booked the 3 hour buggy ride up the volcano with tapas and wine tasting. We booked Loro park and Siam park and we also booked the 3 hour Catamaran trip. Lisa was so helpful and informative about all of the trips we had to offer and she also allowed us time to think about what we wanted to do, she gave us leaflets to have a look at so that we could go back the next day and book all of the trips with her. All 4 of the trips were incredible and stress free after booking with Tenerife first excursions. Thankyou very much Lisa.

    Helpful and professional advice Interaction with Andreea from the get go was flawless and really helpful, guiding us through the options and explaining which one would be our best choice, until we finalized and choose one of our best trips. We definitely would recommend having Andreea as a guide for the reason of being able to make the right choices.
