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.

    We booked 5 excursions with Tenerife First Excursions while on our vacation and the experience was amazing for every single one of them. Kim and Patricia were amazing, they helped us a lot with picking excursions with best experiences. They were available for all of our questions, and helped solve all of our problems. They really showed us how much they care about their customers. I highly recommend this company!

    Booked Car hire, Stargazing, and Kayaking with dolphin through Daniel at Tenerife First before we arrived in Tenerife. Two amazing experiences (living the dream!) and the car hire went smoothly, collected from the airport. Great Excursion company, they really care that you are have a good time. Will be defiantly booking again through Tenerife First Excursions.

    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!

    Echt een aanrader. Een prachtige ervaring. Het duurt drie uur, eerst gingen we de zee in en zagen al meteen een paar dolfijnen die met ons mee zwommen. Daarna de walvissen gezien. Wel op afstand, want die lagen te slapen. Helaas konden we de schildpad die in een net verwikkeld was niet redden. De bemanning had wel zijn best gedaan. Een pluim voor deze geweldige jongens.
