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.

    The best customer service A massive thank you to Daniel at the Las Americas shop for his helping booking and sorting out our trips on our holiday. We booked 3 trips with him , on the day of our dolphin and whale watching tour my daughter was unwell and at 8am Daniel was helping me to get the date changed so we didn’t miss it. 10/10 customer service from him. Thanks again , would recommend to anyone on holiday in Tenerife and I personally can’t wait to use Tenerife First Excursions again.

    YOU MUST DO THE SUNSET TOUR!!! We used first excursions to book jet ski’s and the sunset experience on the buggies. The company is very organised and communicates really well, we got picked up from our hotel for the sunset experience and the driver arrived on time. It is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO, you will not regret it. We were worried as it was cloudy on the day we had this booked but once you are above the clouds the sky is unreal. I have never done anything like this before it is so worth the money. But take a jacket/jumper as it is so cold when you go through the clouds, they didn’t tell us this and we were freezing!! You can take snacks and drinks with you but they do provide water. You can buy the neck covers there for €5.

    Bonne expérience ! La ballade fut tres sympa ! Le personnel est aimable et à l’heure comme indiqué. Les instructions sont claires. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des dauphins ainsi que d’autre type de delphinidae. Dans le respect de la nature. Et même si nous n’en avions pas vus, la ballade est très calme et agréable ! Le bateau est bien, en petit comité !

    Family holiday made magical from start to finish! Beginning with the customer service from the lovely Laura at Tenerife First. With 2 young children she couldn’t have been more helpful with suitable trips for us to take as a family! We opted for Loro Parque and Siam Park twin tickets and were also provided with transfers to Loro Parque. Both days out were enjoyed by the whole family and the transfers to/from the parks were comfortable and punctual. I will be sure to recommend this company and these excursions to friends and family!

    Excellent, stress free! First visit to tenerife and was keen to do some of the excursions, walked straight into the shop and was helped by the wonderful kim. Gave us multiple choices as to excursions and what they involve. Kim wasn’t pushy and catered to our needs, booked the catarmaran, jet ski, siam park, and sunset quad tour. All excursions were so easy to access and stress free, extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to tenerife to visit here for any of excursions or advice.Thanks again Kim!
