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.

    Perfect trip An amazing excursion. Such good value, fantastic communication from the booking agent, very clear. The captain Patrick was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip very special. He arranged certificates for my boys and let them steer the boat. We saw lots of whales and they came very close to the boat of their own choice. The lunch stop was great and the snorkeling was fab.

    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!

    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.
