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 cannot recommend Tenerife First Excursions more if I tried! Danny, Kim and the entire team are exactly what you are looking for in an excursion business. They are a team they do not just look out for themselves but strive to make sure everything is running like a well oiled machine so that the customer is well taken care of. I have used Dannys company a few times and each time everything I have asked for has been organised to the exact detail. Friendly, organised and just a company that deserves to be up there with the best on the island.I just want to say thank you for everything and I will be back very soon!

    Popped into the las Americas office 2 days ago to book a couple of activities, quad bikes and the jet skis . Also Siam park which we got an amazing deal on all 3 , we was greeted by a guy called Daniel top guy helped us out with everything very polite . Unfortunately during our Siam park trip I broken my foot which had stopped me taking part in the other two activities, after speaking to Daniel after so short notice he personally issued me a partial refund which was very good of him as it was so short notice for me to cancel . Much appreciated I recommend 100% theses guy

    3h whale watching excursion with pick up from Los Cristianos.
    Unfortunately, my wife was taken ill the morning of our trip, and at very short notice we had to cancel. Rescheduling I thought would be almost impossible at such short notice, so I understood/expected we would lose the money paid out for the trip, or so I thought…. I would like to say a massive thank you to Sahar, who is an absolute star, and after much effort on her part actually managed to rearrange the trip for later in the week. We really appreciate Sahar’s help, total respect.
    The whale watching trip was fun and amazing, many a spotted dolphin and pilot whale were seen. All in all, a very professional service from start to finish. My thanks to everyone involved.

    Personne super sympa qui nous a filé des tuyaux pour le parc aquatique SIAM PARC.En fait, il nous a déconseillé de prendre leur bus car ils font pas mal d'arrêt & du coup on arrive tard alors que le parc ouvre avant l'heure indiquée. Et on a fait un peu la queue, mais franchement c'était assez rapide car on a acheté les billets chez Tenerife First Excursions puis on a pris un taxi près de l'église, genre 8€ la course. Pour le retour, ne faites pas la queue pour un taxi car il y a foule!!! il y a des bus si vous marchez genre 15min en sortant du parc, prenez vers la droite & traversez le pont, vous verrez une station de bus & pour 1€ on était à Los Cristianos.

    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!
