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.

    Service above and beyond As Daniel helped keep us sane through lockdown I thought it only fair to book my excursions with TFE. I am severely sight impaired so my options for excursions is a little limited but Mike in the LC branch went above and beyond to make sure my trips were the best experiance possible - checking and rechecking the best possible date for the Tiede by night trip so I could see as many stars as possible and sorting a most excellent jeep safari to Tiede and Masca. The level of service you get from TFE is second to none and I would never even think of using anyone else for my excursions. Thanks a million, guys ans Keep it Country!

    Buon servizio Patricia ci ha aiutato a capire quali erano le migliori escursioni nell' isola e abbiamo prenotato alcune attività con lei. Molto gentile ci ha dato anche dei ristoranti locali dove mangiare.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the jet ski tour!! I was concerned that the jet ski tour would be a little to much for my grand daughter but Laura, the lady that arranged it for us, assured us she would be fine and looked after us. Thank you very much.
