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.

    Whale and dolphin watching trip Had a brilliant trip out today. It was only a boat for 12 which was perfect. Time for swimming, food and then up popped lots of minke whales, dolphins a totally magical experience. The skipper was very respectful of the wildlife and kept the boat at a distance, allowing them to come closer if they chose to, which they did. Music was switched off when they all were around us. Loved it would highly recommend this trip and I don’t normally do reviews

    Amazing experience We went at 9:30 since we heard that the animals are more active earlier in the day. The tour was almost private, there were five of us in total, including the captain which was very knowledge and nice. We had been sailing for probably 20 minutes when we saw some bottlenose dolphins and one of them even came up to the boat. As we continued we spotted a turtle but it disappeared rather quickly. Then we sailed to a known pilot whales area where we stopped for a while and spotted around 10 whales. Finally we sailed to a bay, on our way there we saw some more dolphins. There we stopped for drinks and sandwiches, stayed there for 30 minutes and then returned back, very happy with the amount of animals spotted.Side note: even though it's warm outside, make sure to bring something warm with you because it gets cold when sailing.

    We booked our kayaking experience with Dan and we couldn't be happier with our decision. He gave us all the necessary information about where the kayaking office is and how it's organized. We had an amazing time. Thank you Dan😊

    Must do excursion A must do excursion! The rep we booked it through at Tenerife first excursions was really helpful and informative. Not pushy at all! The boat trip was so good! The captain was also super friendly and made everyone feel very welcome and at home and shared lots of facts about the dolphins/ whales and the sea. Very interesting. The sunset was also beautiful! So happy we chose to do this tour! It made our holiday!
