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.

    We arrived atTenerife / Los Cristianos 26/July/‘23 for a 10 night stay ,

    We visited Tenerife first excursions,on our first morning,and booked 2 excursions with them , one to Loro Parque Zoo .
    & one to the “ Night skies Tenerife “ stargazing trip .
    “Mark “ who arranged our excursions was Very professional & helpful and arranged everything down to the last detail,
    I felt confident that we were being looked after by a good company.
    Also as we were staying near they’re office & I called in again to ask a couple of further admin questions and “Dan “ who I spoke to was very helpful & reassuring, the both excursions were excellent , enjoyable & worry free , we were kept informed & all the transport was on time ,also tickets & paperwork Was spot on , I would recommend this company to arrange you’re trips & excursions , & I will definitely use them again in the future.

    Kind regards

    I booked two trips with first excursions tenerife. A boat trip to see whales and dolphins and kayaking to see dolphins and turtles both trip where fantastic well organised and excellently ran events. Daniel is friendly, professional and very honest. He pointed out that seeing the wildlife was not a guarantee. Thankfully he was wrong, both trips delivered on the dolphins, whales and turtles. I can't recommend Frist Excursions Tenerife and his advice and trips highly enough. 10/10 to Daniel and his team.
