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.

    Fantastic recommendations After seeing them on TikTok, we went to First Excursions to book a Jet Ski experience whilst we were in Tenerife last week. We were welcomed by the lovely LisaFay and we were given a fantastic recommendation. The service we received was brilliant and we were all booked within a few minutes. I will definitely be going to them again for any excursions in the future. For anyone who is interested, we booked a 1hour Double Jet Ski experience with Extreme Skis and it was fantastic! They even took some brilliant photos of us on the ski& had 40+ of the photos airdropped over to my phone for €20.

    We found this place, as we watch Matt on Facebook and TikTok. I messaged the number linked to there Facebook page and they got back to me straight away answering my questions and told me where the nearest shop was. We walked there, only 20 minutes away right by the golden mile. Lorena was there, smile at the ready, and helped us within 5 minutes. Gave us all the information we needed and walked out happy and ready to go on the trips we have booked. Thank you Lorena, you are a credit to the company!! Xx

    Sunset Buggy’s are out of this world We booked before arriving to Tenerife, the cost is so worth it. Myself and my little sister had the most amazing experience and was so easy when booking through the Tenerife excursions and transport from and back to our hotel was included within the price also. The overall experience was so surreal and definitely one to add when visiting Tenerife ☀️ the guys at Tenerife excursions kept in contact and confirmed everything. These guys are definitely your go to people when booking🤍 what an experience we had and by far the best from our holiday!

    Thank you Mark and Dominika! We did the Whale and Dolphin Watching afternoon boat trip which was fab. The staff and crew were lovely and the boat was big enough, not overcrowded. A massive thanks to Mark and Dominika from the Los Cristianos office who helped us book the trip and was so helpful and knowledgeable about all the trips. When we come back, we'll be booking with you again!
