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.

    Arrivé le 18/08 sur l’île de Tenerife et plus aucun moyen de locomotion à louer ! Sauf que j’ai croisé Lisafay lors de ma première promenade à Costa Adeje. Cette ravissante et pétillante femme m’a trouvé une moto pour le lendemain et pour 4 jours. La découverte de l’île a commencé ainsi et je lui en suis très reconnaissant.Bien entendu, je recommande vivement Tenerife First Excursions.Même quand cela devient impossible, c’est possible !!! ❤️

    We met Dan at the selling point in Los Cristianos and he was more than helpful to give us all the infos we needed to decide and buy the 1 day trip to La Gomera.
    I think is the best deal you could get if you want to spend a day on La Gomera, as the price covers the ferry, lunch, guide and transport with the touring bus!
    Also, Tenerife First Excursions has a huge range of activities to offer at the best rates.
    Highly recommended!

    Thank you Laura! We booked jet skis same-day last minute through WhatsApp with Laura and she managed to get us onto jet skis at 6pm! Miracle worker, and a true pleasure from start to finish. We went with extreme jet skis and couldn’t get over how fast they go! Highly recommend.

    We did the sunset quad bikes last night, what an experience. It was so exhilarating to self drive the quad bikes up the mountain. It really immersed you into the environment. The guys running it were great, really looked after everyone and put safety first. It’s the third excursion we’ve booked with first excursions ( via Kim) and they have been brilliant, we always feel safe and secure booking with them. We met Daniel and he was a great guy, clearly cares about his company and customers. Cannot recommend this company enough, Kim you are a star 🌟! Thank you so much again for another excellent experience!

    Just finishing off a 3 week holiday in Tenerife with a 5mth old baby and we used Tenerife First Excursions for all of our trips. Laura in the office was great help planning the trips and had lots of tips and advice. Highlights were a sunset boat trip and and star gazing with Night Skies Teneriffe…
    Would have loved the quad tour and some others but we will have to wait a few years for that 😀
    Thanks for making our holiday easier
