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.

    Amazing, 100% recommended I can't praise Daniel and his team of professionals both in the office and at sea. We too a trio with a crazy Irish man on his yacht. Food and drink provided. Most important thing was the respect this man had for the dolphin, whales and turtle we say. It was the most amazing thing ever to see these majestic animals in their own environment absolutely amazing. I was like a child. Couldn't recommend these absolutely professionals. 100%.

    Absolutely amazing Staff It's was absolutely amazing. The boat hat around 12 people on we first we Set off from the docks where we met our host, Fabrizio he was amazing explaining everything to us in detail we were lucky to see some dolphins and by the end of the trip you get a meal that mostly concludes of amazingly seasoned chicken thigh, Veggie rice and Roat potato. After that me and my brothers got out the boat and went for a small swim (recommend wearing shorts/swimming costume under your clothes) Life Jackets are provided for the little ones. All and all an amazing experience, my first time on a boat and definitely not my last !
