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.

They give good deals, also recommend and give information about the trips that suit you. It's situated next to chillbox (Las americas) and if you book an excursion you get 20% off at chillbox.

    100% would I recommend booking excursions with Tenerife First! Me and my boyfriend booked the all inclusive Siam Park tickets which was well worth the price!! We got our lockers, towels, unlimited fast pass for the slides which means we didn’t have to wait in the long queues, all inclusive food and drinks along with the park entrance which would have cost us way more if we paid on the day!! We also booked the Sunset Quad Tour which was an unreal experience!! Our guides Davide and Danny where brilliant couldn’t recommend them enough they was really welcoming and happy to help with any questions we had. Along with providing information about Mount Teide which was nice touch! The drinks whilst watching the sunset were a really nice addition ! Again, I would recommend to anyone visiting Tenerife and wanting to do some amazing excursions ! I will also be recommending to family and friends. A big thank you to Matt for your TikTok videos which helped us come across Tenerife First Excursions so we were able to do these unforgettable experiences. It was also great to meet you whilst shopping and have a chat during our visit in Tenerife!! 📸☀️

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.
    Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.
    Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!

    Great night underneath the stars We had a great night with Killian and the team and could see some fantastic objects through the scope. Besides the explanations the team also took good care of us with drinks (cava for sunset, hot chocolate to warm up after standing in the cold) and professional pictures which were included in the tour price. All in all a wonderful experience which I can only recommend.

    3 Hour Boat Trip Fantastic experience! LisaFay at Tenerife First Excursions was super helpful and full of knowledge! The boat was brilliant and offered plenty of space and staff were really helpful. We had chance to relax on the sun lounges (extra cost) and then stopped sailing to have some time to swim and jump off the boat!! Saw dolphins and whales on the journey too. We went on the 3 hour sailing which was plenty of time and allowed the afternoon to chill out.

    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!
