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.

    Quad biking with Daniel Daniel was a great tour guide, as soon as he picked us up he was full of energy and made me and my boyfriend so comfortable with him. We had the best experience thanks to Daniel and his other colleague I don’t remember his name. We would 100% do this again when we come back to Tenerife and I’ve already recommended quad biking to many of friends since being back! Thank you Daniel for being amazing to us. Can’t wait to do it again.

    !!!Merece la pena!!! Hemos pasado unas horas magníficas hoy 5/10/21 en esta excursión de avistamiento de ballenas y delfines.!Que gran conducción de Xabi.Nos permitió "sentir" ese balanceo grato y el juego de ver las olas q se hacían más grandes a nuestro paso.Era la sensación perfecta para sentirte en vacaciones.Aunque la excursión durara 3 horas.Todo estaba preparado con calma.Y el con su actitud,su información precisa,entretenida,nos ayudaba más a vivir esta sensación.Capte q el único barco cercano...cuando llegamos a la zona de familias de ballenas...que apagó hasta el motor,fue el nuestro.Eso hizo q al poco se dejaran ver con más frecuencia las ballenas.!Genial!Nos encantó la calma de la excursión.La mayoría del grupo se lanzó al agua...y regresaron con calma para comer lo que nos ofrecían como Tour(oportuno,sencillo y sandwiches sabrosos).Pudimos navegar ratos y a la par sentir que el tiempo pasaba con calma!! Repetiremos con familia q vive en Bélgica a fines de Abril ...y no pudieron esta vez,por la inquietud de erupción Volcan de La Palma.GRACIAS.Ximena y Luis

    Uur jetskiën Opgehaald bij het hotel, leuke mensen! Op de jetski een korte efficiënte uitleg en daarna gelijk het water op, heerlijk zelf mogen varen. Mooie omgeving en een fantastische ervaring. Ook zijn we daarna weer netjes terug naar het hotel gebracht.

    Experiencia en el mar Reservamos una en barco con Laura en la oficina y fue una experiencia increíble. Navegamos por aguas cristalinas y disfrutamos mucho del paisaje costero. La tripulación muy amable y atenta. Tuvimos la oportunidad de bañarnos en una cala y la comida y bebida en el barco fue espectacular. Gracias a Aythamy por cuidarnos en el barco y por toda la información sobre las ballenas y los delfines. Gracias a Laura por organizar una experiencia inolvidable. Volveremos y recomendaremos esta compañía.

    Very efficient (Booked day trip to La Palma) We booked a day trip to La Palma through Tenerife First Excursions. Lisa at the booking office could not have been more helpful. She rang the company that actually runs the trip, because, although the volcano had stopped, she advised that it was always best to check the latest details. There isn´t a pick-up service for this excursion so she gave us the number of the local taxi firm and full details of where to go. Would book through them again
