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.

    Buggie tour We zijn bij het hotel opgehaald door de lieve mensen van de buggies, netjes uitleg gekregen over de veiligheid van de buggies etc... daarna snel de weg op richting de vulkaan, prachtige omgeving en super leuk om zelf te mogen rijden. Fantastisch uitzicht en een mega leuke ervaring. We kregen uitleg over de vulkaan en de omgeving, na de dag zijn we weer netjes bij het hotel gebracht. Super!

    Tenerife, I absolutely love it. We went on the buggy trail up to the volcano on the sunset tour it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I will be recommending it to absolutely everybody not only that I’ll be recommending Tenerife first excursions because this wasn’t the only excursion that we booked we also went on the medieval night and one hour jet car we booked in the Los Cris office with Mark instead of trying to sell me things he listen to what I wanted and got straight on with booking there was no upsell just what I wanted and had asked for. he was kind and friendly and made you feel at ease not only that when it got round to pick up everything went smoothly just as it should’ve done I wouldn’t use any other excursion company in Tenerife apart from these guys.Tenerife, I absolutely love it🏝️☀️🏝️🌋
