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.

    Nice, relaxing boat trip Tour was great! Saw dolphins, a sea turtle, and some pilot whales. Also the area for snorkeling was quite nice, not too much to see but still some nice groups of fish.

    Wonderful time Mattie was amazing he managed to fit me and my wife in a day before, kept us up to date when the booking had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions and slot us in again the next day. On the day of the quad bikes the staff there were very nice and spoke English which helped! The excursions itself was a very good experience and very informative. We really enjoyed the off road part of it. Also got mini pizzas at the end of it which was really nice. Thank you to everyone at Tenerife First Excursions!!

    3 Hour Boat Trip Fantastic experience! LisaFay at Tenerife First Excursions was super helpful and full of knowledge! The boat was brilliant and offered plenty of space and staff were really helpful. We had chance to relax on the sun lounges (extra cost) and then stopped sailing to have some time to swim and jump off the boat!! Saw dolphins and whales on the journey too. We went on the 3 hour sailing which was plenty of time and allowed the afternoon to chill out.

    Couldn’t recommend this group enough. I booked all my excursions with them as a package with a discount rate originally just questioning prices via Instagram. Dan from the group then sent me all his contact details and invoices instantly. We done Buggy’s, Siam, the yacht & night skies for a very good price. Dan in particular was very helpful. Always reachable via text message on WhatsApp at anytime of the day and very professional..Thanks to all the team even Evelyn on the yacht. Free drink’s sandwiches etc.Trish & Wes Dublin IrelandHard rock hotel Tenerife22/09/23 to 2/09/23

    Amazing Day. Oh my goodness what an absolutely AMAZING day we had. If you are going to do this trip definitely get the cable car tickets. The views are stunning. Pictures just can't do it justice,its breathtaking. Enrique was a fantastic guide,his knowledge was amazing and the fact that he told all 3 nationalities on board the coach what we were seeing was above and beyond. Deano the driver was superb,thank goodness he had his formula one driving to call upon round those bends. 😁. Can not fault this trip it was everything that Lisa Fay said it would be and more. If you are thinking of booking a trip find Lisa and book through her at Travel First Excursions.
