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.

    I contacted Tenerife First Excursions via watsapp and got a response very quickly from Sue ! I was sent a list of prices for karting and was offered to be picked up . As soon as I made the payment the invoice was sent immediately . Once we arrived at the venue my son was able to go straight on the karts and it's all very well arranged ! I'm really happy with the service I received and will definitely use the company again . Thank you !

    Absolutely a mind blowing experience!!!! Not one to miss!!! The whole experience was amazing, in my Husband’s words “ one of my best holiday experiences ever!”. Emily and Dan were amazing guides, made the trip very interactive, fun… they were fab. Pay rise please ha ha This is a must do!!! Seeing the sunset, riding on the quad, the amazing views, sipping on lovely non- alcoholic cava and watching the sunset with a wonderful group was priceless. Would definitely do it again when I visit with friends!!!

    Best Excursion Yet Andrea & Roxi were brilliant help on WhatsApp. I had followed Tenerife First on Instagram so knew they were a reliable company. The excursion was amazing! We paid the extra for the sun beds and it was well worth it. Included in the price was a lovely cheese & ham sandwich and all drinks. We stopped and saw a pod of whales, that came right up to the boat. Then we had another stop for a swim in the sea, which was very refreshing and enjoyable, even if the seas was choppy and strong current. I loved the trip and would recommend! The service from this company was excellent.

    Beautiful trip and amazing crew! I wanted to organize a beautiful experience for me and my boyfriend. Patricia helped me so much with that! She recommended us to get smaller, more private boat, so we could enjoy better our company. The trip was truly amazing - we saw dolphins, chilled on the boat with beautiful views and swim in a turquoise water. Trip was organized very well, Patricia gave us all needed information, so we arrived to the harbor without stress.

    I popped into their Pueblo Canario branch and spoke to Mattie, we brought 5 excursions for our party of 4, decent chunk of our budget but we was advised what things were like and we were allowed to form our own opinion, nothing forced down our throat.

    Great customer service, would highly recommend!

    Thanks

    The highlight of our holiday Absolutely amazing experience! We stumbled upon one of the Tenerife First Excursions sales booth on our way back to the hotel one evening, a bit drunk and up for some adventure. We were greeted by the wonderful Lisa Fay and she recommended the Opera 60 experience. Due to before said drunkenness we did not make the booking at that point but she gave us a direct contact number. Few days later I called her and she immediately made all the arrangements for us and was so helpful! The cruise was amazing, lovely staff, nice food and drinks and just an overall brilliant experience. Great value for money, easy to recommend! :)

    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!
