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.

    Richie the gem First of all I would like to clarify that I have never met such a kind gentleman ever, we had explained that one our kids is on the autism spectrum and Richie could not have gone above and beyond more to help us choose our tours, he had constantly kept in touch throughout our holiday via WhatsApp to see if we were all ok and that everything had gone smoothly, one morning we had a hic up and I had to call Richie via WhatsApp and even tho it was his day off he done everything to sort it out, this happened more than just once by the way, I cannot thank him enough for making us feel at ease and helping us with everything. Your a true gentleman Richie and there should be more people in the world like you 😊 when we come back hopefully we get to deal with you again😊 Thank you for everything Irish tracey & Portuguese Monica ☺️💙

    Great service These guys really looked after us while we were in Tenerife. We booked a boat trip with them plus Siam park. The boat trip was fantastic and the whole family really enjoyed it. Unfortunately one of our children fell really unwell so we wasn’t able to make Siam park but these guys sorted it all out for us. Amazing service and we would use anyone else. Thank you all for the experience and help.

    Absolutely fantastic experience and advice from Tenerife First Excursions. Daniel and any of his team I met were absolutely lovely. Through them, on two trips now, I went paragliding (for first time), Taide star gazing experience, rented mopeds, took an afternoon whale & dolphin cruise, and had wonderful food and nightlife recommendations.

    Absolute Empfehlung!! Wenn ihr was buchen wollt, kommt unbedingt hier her! Wir wurden echt top beraten, Angebot ist top und die Preise sind echt fair. Unsere private Segeltour z.B. war der Hammer - es war soooo schön, diese wunderschönen Wale aus nächster Nähe zu sehen, ohne sich das Boot mit 50 anderen Touris teilen zu müssen. On top: leider habe ich mir das Bein im Urlaub gebrochen und wir konnten die Hälfte unserer gebuchten Aktivitäten nicht mehr antreten - wir haben 100% Geld zurück bekommen, das ist mehr als fair. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder :) Danke für alles, Kim <3
