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.

    we wanted to leave a separate note towards kim as she is absolutely amazing, we saw this excursion hut on tik tok & came over to see if for ourselves, we booked night star gazing & the royal delfin, she didn’t bribe us like some of the other excursion huts do, she treats us like friends not customers, she knows how to have a laugh & we will without doubt be recommending this & returning potentially this holiday, there’s no pressure or anything, the most welcoming excursion hut i know, thank you kim we love you, from tia number one, tia number two, & jody :)

    We met Dan at the selling point in Los Cristianos and he was more than helpful to give us all the infos we needed to decide and buy the 1 day trip to La Gomera.
    I think is the best deal you could get if you want to spend a day on La Gomera, as the price covers the ferry, lunch, guide and transport with the touring bus!
    Also, Tenerife First Excursions has a huge range of activities to offer at the best rates.
    Highly recommended!

    myself and my family have stayed in los cristianos for 14 days.
    in those days we had booked a few excursions
    the water park
    the zoo
    a boat trip.
    we rented a double scooter as im heavily pregnant.

    everything we booked we dealt with dan, nothing was too much trouble.
    i had a few problems with the scooter which needed to be swapped 3 times, dan personally took the scooter to the provider to make sure the next one we got was in working order, as i say nothing was too much trouble.
    we highly recommend ‘TENERIFE FIRST EXCURSIONS’

    Interesting evening surfing our galaxy Make syre you have your phone on half ann hour before your pick up time as they will call you if they are running late.We were in a small group of 6 (there was a bus as well). Very informative guides. Meal was basic but had Cava/soft drink further on at sunset and a small hot chocolate, ironically whilst exploring our Galaxy.With this trip photographs are taken by your guides: of you; the group; sunset and stars. These are available through a link later and included in the cost.It is a late finish don't plan anything for early next day, like us!
