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 took the boat out for 2 hours and did karting trev gave us a deal on both and was absolutely amazing. We actually ended up missing out bus to take us to karting and Trev went above and beyond to make sure we could still get there and do the activity! We had an amazing time all thanks to Tenerife first excursions🫶

    Super family boat trip We chose this trip on Lindsay’s recommendation and we were not disappointed. From coach collection to drop off was seamless. The catamaran was lovely and the crew were fantastic. We paid for the beds which really enhanced the trip. The sandwich was basic but tasty and the sangria was lovely. We were fascinated with the pilot whales and how close they came to the boat. And the dip in the sea was very refreshing! It was a very enjoyable experience for all the family. Recommend travel tablets.

    Best by far Great experience, Great boat, great host. We started out on the boat and was greeted by Richard the captain, he explained what we may or may not see and started to serve the drinks (all included). We had been going around half hour and then spotted some pilot whales, great to see these creatures in their environment. Also spotted dolphins whilst heading to a nice bay where we moored for some food.You could swim here jumping of the boat and the water was very warm.We were served chicken, rice and veg and it was very nice.After a while we set off back to our dock and the end of the trip.Richard is a top class host and captain......Thanks for a top class experience

    Great experience and a very organised company to book with! Really great organised company to book with. They are a little more expensive than any jet ski’s I have done before, I do think it would be nice to have the pictures included in the price rather than charger a further €25 given you can’t take your phones so no opportunity to get your own pictures. Other than that we found the location following the instructions provided, the area where you wait and get your life jackets was clean and the girl was really nice and explained all of the rules to the group. It was a great experience we had so much fun and got the opportunity to swap drivers half way through. I would recommend!!
