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.

    I contacted Daniel on whatsapp and explained what excursions we were interested in and he asked us to come to the shop to have a look at all the options.From the minute my boyfriend and I arrived at the shop, he welcomed us with a massive smile and was so welcoming.Showed us so many videos and pictures and gave us tips on what suited our taste best.. We booked 4 packages that day ( 3 hour road quad bike, 1 hour jetski, day yacht tour and parascending).On the last day, I realised that parascending might be a bit too extreme for me, so we texted Daniel and explained our situation and in no time he came with a solution in minutes.Just an FYI. all tours take professional pictures of you for around 20 euros, so just enjoy yourself and forget your phone, as they will capture all the best moments for you. all you have to do is smile and enjoy.We honestly can't thank you enough Daniel, for the amazing experiences and memories you have brought to us trough your amazing exursions.You have a customer for life and we hope to see you again in the near future.Lots of loveSamuel & Steph

    Brilliant tour with great Captain 👩‍✈️ Thanks for the nice tour and the great Captain Jie (hope I wrote correctly). The daughter had the best birthday and nature lesson. She learned a lot of new things about the inhabitants of the water.

    Sunset, stars & moon! Booked from the UK over Facebook with Ross, communication was brilliant and the booking system was very efficient. Great experience would highly recommend. The meal was very basic and not really a 3 course it was just a bread roll, chicken or fish with rice and potatoes then a small portion of a dessert. The kids loved their homemade chicken nuggets though but make sure you request them as soon as you arrive! (Take snacks for younger children).The tour was brilliant and the tour guide really know their stuff! We were so glad we decided to do this trip as it’s something we will remember forever! Thank you Laurie Delisle

    Amazing very friendly and polite Amazing, nice boat and managed to see some whales which was well cool, we then stopped for a swim and the sea was full of different fish which was nice to see. The captain was very friendly and funny. The team at Tenerife first excursions was very friendly, would like to say thanks to Daniel and Kim for organising the trip for us will definitely use them again.
