Teide National Park Tour

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

Experience one of the most spectacular landscapes in Europe on this half-day excursion to the legendary Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the highest peak in Spain, Mount Teide. This tour takes you from the sunny coastal resorts of Tenerife into a completely different world: a dramatic volcanic environment shaped by ancient eruptions, lava rivers, and surreal rock formations.

As you ascend through the island, you’ll pass from bustling seaside towns into cooler high-altitude zones filled with Canary pine forests and traditional villages such as Vilaflor, one of the highest villages in Spain. The scenery changes rapidly, offering incredible photo opportunities at every turn as the landscape becomes more rugged and lunar-like.

 

Once inside Teide National Park, the views become truly unforgettable. Vast calderas, hardened lava fields, and towering volcanic structures dominate the horizon. You’ll make several guided stops so you can fully take in the dramatic surroundings, learn about the island’s volcanic origins, and enjoy panoramic viewpoints over the island and neighbouring Canary Islands on clear days.

One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to Los Roques de García, an iconic rock formation located at the foot of Mount Teide. Standing at 3,718 metres above sea level, Mount Teide is not only Spain’s highest peak but also one of the most impressive volcanoes in the world. This area is often described as feeling like another planet due to its unique geology and colours.

After exploring the central viewpoints, the journey continues with a relaxing drive back down through the national park, giving you more chances to admire the ever-changing volcanic scenery before returning to your resort.

    Awesome can’t recommend enough! Booked all of our excursions through LisaFay who was absolutely amazing. We booked Siam Park, the jet cars, the sunset quad trip and she chucked in free monkey park tickets which was brilliant as we was planning on going anyway! Can’t thank Lisa and the team enough we lost our tickets and she was amazing reassuring us that we could still complete the excursions and assured us that the tour providers were aware we would have photos of the tickets rather than the physical ticket. The sunset quad tour was absolutely breathtaking, we got picked up from our hotel fully safety briefed on driving the quads which was really helpful as we were both a little anxious due to never driving one before. As we drove up towards mount Teidi we stopped off at various different view points and were given water and snacks and then non-alcoholic Prosecco to watch the sunset. The guys that took us up who worked for Tenerife first quads were awesome giving us facts about the surroundings as we stopped. Can’t recommend this excursion enough to anyone visiting Tenerife. Thank you so much to the team at Tenerife first excursions enough for being so brilliant and will 1000 percent use them the next time we visit Tenerife!

    We booked a couple of trips on Sunday with Lisa Fay.She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the Island.
    We booked with Tenerife first excursions after seeing Daniel with the Macmaster on youtube.
    We were impressed that Daniel never runs down his competitors.
    We are looking forward to our first trip tomorrow.

    Good experience and value for money We went to the office in Tenerife and Laura showed us different experiences that Tenerife First Excursion offered. She helped me pick experiences that were age appropriate for my daughter and we got really good prices! Laura was professional and had great knowledge of what she could offer. We visit Tenerife once a year and we will always go back to Laura.

    A company that actual cares you have a good time. Rented a car, book the Stargazing and Kayaking to see the dolphins from Daniel. All went smoothly. Two amazing experiences that will last long in the memory. I'll be booking again with Tenerife First.

    Smooth booking experience with knowledgeable staff! We were enjoying a drink at chill box in PDLA when we saw Tenerife First Excursions next door. Before we went on holiday we knew we wanted to use this company after seeing videos online and all the great feedback they had. We were more determined to use them after we checked into our hotel and the receptionist told us to be aware of a lot of ‘scam’ excursion companies out there. We started speaking to Lorena and she asked if we had any trips planned. We wanted to go to Loro Parque but with it being the other side of the island we weren’t sure how to get there. We looked on our TUI excursions and it said you have to make your own way there and it was ticket price only, so we almost gave it a miss. When we spoke to Lorena she informed me that she could book transfers for us for only €20.50pp. Which is minimal compared to what the taxi fare would of been to go to the other side of the island. I went into the office, booked the excursion all within around 5/10 mins. She printed off all of our tickets and sent a digital version to my phone incase I lost the paper. She then circled on the map where our pick up point was for the transfer and gave me it so we knew exactly where to go. All in all it was just such an easy and smooth experience and will 100% only use Tenerife First Excursions when we go back one day. Loro Parque was amazing as well by the way and definitely worth the 1.5 hour transfer 100000%.
