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.

    Tenerife first excursions ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was at home in the UK and wanted to pre book a hire car for our holiday this June. I’ve previously been to Tenerife and had a great experience with using Tenerife First Excursions. That was around 3 years ago, and today we received the exact same service as we did then. Which shows, that’s just who they are. Amazing service, friendly staff, always responsive and they almost seem like a friend rather than a business, very very welcoming. If you’re heading to Tenerife, I strongly recommend using First excursions for any of your holiday needs. They leave you no doubt and you feel instantly like you’re in good hands. 5 stars !

    Amazing, fun and exciting experience Absolutely amazing experience, it was kind of scary at the start but unbelievable when we got the hang of it, I 100% recommend this jet ski experience! Staff were friendly and nice, they also take professional photos of everyone on their jetski that you can buy once you're finished which is cool! I'd definitely go again!

    Booked our trip Night Skies Tenerife, with Danny from Tenerife Excursions, he is located in Pablo Canario in Las Americas. Great guy working hard in these difficult times. Gave us a great deal, that lots of our friends joined us for the night to remember. Well worth every cent. We were looked after really well from start to finish. Get along and book a trip while there are deals to be had in this very difficult time. Xxxx

    Memories for a lifetime with Night Skies Tenerife Night Skies Tenerife gave us the most amazing experience on Tenerife! You get so much more with this tour than you’d think from the Trip Advisor explanation - least of not is the energy of Craig and the knowledge of Kieran. Between dinner and star gazing we saw an amazing sunset over La Palma from the Corona forest, complete with Cava and photographs by Craig. Craig helped us learn all about the island on the way to the sunset spot and to the star gazing spot, which my husband and I loved. Once we arrived for star gazing, Kieran helped us learn all about our solar system, the life cycle of stars, and the constellations while allowing us to see what he was teaching through the microscope (we even got to see two deep space galaxies!)Do not miss this experience when you’re on the island, but do specifically book Night Skies. Their service and knowledge (including giving you the photos they take for free and not charging for them at the end of the night) cannot be beat.Thank you for adding this amazing experience to our honeymoon Kieran, Craig, and the full night skies crew!

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.
