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.

    If you are contemplating whether to book the sunset quad biking tour, book it! I honestly cannot recommend it enough, the staff are the loveliest people and the entire tour was beyond my wildest dreams.Hassle free and so enjoyable from start to finish, I would book this tour again in a heartbeat!The pick up was so simple, got a phone call saying they were outside and we hopped on in :) drove us up to the base camp where we were fitted with our jackets and helmets and given gloves as well which weren't needed on this trip but very handy to have nevertheless! Driven around the corner and assigned to a quad bike and off we went!!The views on the way up were phenomenal, there are multiple stops along the way to take photos and have a drink if you need to. Daniel was our driver but also our photographer! The photos he took were incredible and you can purchase them at the end for only €20! Considering you get 200-300 photos as well and they were such high quality it was amazing and a really lovely way to end the trip! What you get is worth so much more than what they charge and I quite happily would have payed doubled for the experience we had, it has exceeded every expectation I had!Lee was our guide who explained everything about the volcanoes etc and he was brilliant! Cannot speak highly enough of him, lovely guy and so so knowledgeable. The stops on the way up had all of the photos taken professionally by Daniel and all of the sites explained by Lee. They were both amazing guys who really seem to love the job which honestly makes all the difference as the love for it really rubs off onto everyone else!After the few stops on the way up we had an amazing view of the sunset and mount tiede in the background. You can take the most amazing photos up here and you are given some biscuits and hot chocolate/cava before heading back down again.Honestly 10000000/10 experience, absolutley phenomenal. Book it if you haven't already!!

    A boat trip on board the Ragnorok seeing the whales and dolphins. Before travelling to Tenerife we had decided this year we would like to go on a boat trip, we had a total of 10 members in our party with 2 being children.We walked past the kiosk a couple of times and spoke with Mattie who offered us a variety of trips, although we knew we wanted to go on a boat we were struggling to pick which one. Mattue was great in helping us decide and we narrowed it down to 2 options, we decided upon the Ragnorok as it would be more fun for the children. On the day of our trip we arrived to the port ready to board, all the crew were dressed up and in character which I think was brilliant, the whole 3 hours went by so quick but the crew never broke character once and I can honestly say we had one of the best days in Tenerife. We were lucky enough to see a pod of whales and had a good laugh being sacrificed to the sea by the crew. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone and to book with Tenerife first excursions is a must, great helpful staff who have given us a great memory until we return.

    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😊!

    Great experience I cannot recommend Kayleigh and Laura enough! They were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only did they provide us with the best recommendations for trips that perfectly matched our interests, but they were also incredibly patient throughout the entire process. They gave us all the time we needed to think things over, never rushing or pressuring us into making a decision. Beyond just trip planning, Kayleigh and Laura went above and beyond by offering tips on everything we needed to know during our stay in Tenerife. From advice on taxis and Uber to insights on local prices and car rentals, they truly thought of everything. Their willingness to help made our experience so much smoother and stress-free. If you're planning a trip and want someone who genuinely cares about making your experience the best it can be, Tenerife First Excursions is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it!
