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.

    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.

    The highlight of our holiday Absolutely amazing experience! We stumbled upon one of the Tenerife First Excursions sales booth on our way back to the hotel one evening, a bit drunk and up for some adventure. We were greeted by the wonderful Lisa Fay and she recommended the Opera 60 experience. Due to before said drunkenness we did not make the booking at that point but she gave us a direct contact number. Few days later I called her and she immediately made all the arrangements for us and was so helpful! The cruise was amazing, lovely staff, nice food and drinks and just an overall brilliant experience. Great value for money, easy to recommend! :)

    Amazing Service and experiences ! I Wouldn’t book with anyone else in Tenerife.We spoke to the lovely Lisa Fay who was friendly and professional throughout. Lisa was attentive with what we wanted to do and found the best excursions to suit us and our needs with amazing deals which you can’t find anywhere else on the island. I couldn’t recommend this company enough, so helpful and provide you with lots of information about each trip. 100% the highlight of the holiday, we will definitely be using them again without a doubt😊!

    You can't guarantee the weather! We booked the half-day trip to Mount Teide with Daniel in Los Cristianos, including the cable cars to the top. On the day it was raining and windy, so the cable car part was unfortunately cancelled. Back to kiosk for a refund when we returned and Mark couldn't have been more helpful. No quibbles, swiftly dealt with and the money was back in our account the following day. The trip was still very enjoyable and very informative. Definitely recommend.

    Amazing boat trip This was such a lovely boat ride! Patrick was an amazing guide and super pleasant to be around. We saw pilot whales and a few turtles. The boat does go quite slow, so something to keep in mind if you get sea sick easily as it was very bumpy!

    2 hour jet ski safari Today we went on the 2 hour jet ski safari which was booked and arranged by Sarah she was absolutely brilliant organised pick up for us. When we arrived at flash jet ski we was kindly greeted by a lady unfortunately I didn’t get her name but she was so lovely and reassuring, the 2 gentlemen who took us out was great as well. Has a fabulous time!! Went on a double jet ski driving is definitely more fun than being on the back 🫣!!! Thank you so much Sarah for arranging this for us and thank you for arranging Siam park and freebird dolphin and whale watching experience!!
