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.

    Amazing Service from Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions! We had such a fantastic experience booking our trips through Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. From start to finish, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We booked several activities including Siam Park, a magical stargazing experience, and the Freebird Catamaran trip – and every single one was spot on.Lisafay really knows her stuff – she gave us honest, tailored advice based on what we were looking for, and her recommendations made a huge difference to our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Everything was clearly explained, professionally handled, and her friendly attitude made it a pleasure to deal with her.If you’re in Tenerife and want to book unforgettable excursions with someone you can truly trust, go and see Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. She genuinely cares, and it shows. Thanks again, Lisafay – you made our holiday extra special!

    Perfect Today, we had the chance for a private boat trip with Captain Xiba on the Galatea yacht. Shortly after departure from the Harbour, we could watch a pilot whale Familie. The further we moved out to sea, the closer the whales came to the sailing boat. The best was the fact that we were alone and no other noisy boats were around. We highly recommend this boat trip with Xiba and owner Patrick. Both of them are very friendly and competent. Thank you especially for letting a Swiss sailor take the steering wheel for a while :-) Michèle, Emilia and Christian

    After seeing Tenerife first excursions on TikTok, we couldn’t wait to book through them. We met with Kim earlier this week who helped us book Siam park & buggy’s. Kim provided us with lots of information about our excursion and informed us of many more. Kim was a lovely person and will continue to book with TFE when we return. Thank you!
