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.

    The highlight of our trip This was such an incredible experience! Daniel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and geography of the island, and he and Rico were brilliant guides as we were on the quads. They tailored the trip based on the weather conditions and we were able to see the most beautiful sunset in a relatively private spot. Daniel also took some beautiful photos which were very reasonably priced. Honestly, this whole experience could have cost a lot more and still been worth the money. Once we got back down, Emily drove us back and was also lovely to chat to. Would definitely recommend!

    Great service from Lisa. Booked two trips today with Lisa Fay, and what a great service she offered. Nothing was too much for her. I booked a private charter for the family and monkey park all done within 10 minutes. She even waited while the boss signed off on them ( the wife). Would highly recommend Lisa and the company for any excursions. Five Star service

    Echt een aanrader. Een prachtige ervaring. Het duurt drie uur, eerst gingen we de zee in en zagen al meteen een paar dolfijnen die met ons mee zwommen. Daarna de walvissen gezien. Wel op afstand, want die lagen te slapen. Helaas konden we de schildpad die in een net verwikkeld was niet redden. De bemanning had wel zijn best gedaan. Een pluim voor deze geweldige jongens.
