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 ☺️💙

    Amazing Experience All I can say is DO IT!!! such a wonderful experience and Lee and Emily were just the best, couldn't fault them. Got collected from our hotel and taken to where we needed to pick everything up, got jackets and helmets. Lee talked you through everything and from start to finish they were both so helpful, kind and informative. Little breaks along the way up for biscuits and a little history lesson. Then the sunset was breath taking. 100% buy the pictures such amazing memories to keep. We are doing this again for sure. All I will say is there are soooo many companies but trust me go with these guys.

    Fantastic friendly and informative service We came across Matty and Ross at the booking kiosk on our first day, they were full of information on places we could visit during our holiday.Pointing us in the right direction of which water park to visit for the ages of our children, we opted for 2 park ticket for Aqualand & Jungle Park.We Also went on Peter Pan Whale watching tour, we were originally thinking to do this in the afternoon but Ross said you were most Likey to see whales on the earlier tour so we took his advice and went at 10am….so glad we did! What an amazing experience! Thanks lads for your help…we will book again soon!

    Perfect trip An amazing excursion. Such good value, fantastic communication from the booking agent, very clear. The captain Patrick was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip very special. He arranged certificates for my boys and let them steer the boat. We saw lots of whales and they came very close to the boat of their own choice. The lunch stop was great and the snorkeling was fab.

    I contacted Tenerife First Excursions via watsapp and got a response very quickly from Sue ! I was sent a list of prices for karting and was offered to be picked up . As soon as I made the payment the invoice was sent immediately . Once we arrived at the venue my son was able to go straight on the karts and it's all very well arranged ! I'm really happy with the service I received and will definitely use the company again . Thank you !
