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 booked a couple of trips on Sunday with Lisa Fay.She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the Island.
    We booked with Tenerife first excursions after seeing Daniel with the Macmaster on youtube.
    We were impressed that Daniel never runs down his competitors.
    We are looking forward to our first trip tomorrow.

    Fiat 500 Boats and Monkey Park We visited a couple of days ago and was greeted by Lorena who was excellent at finding the best trips. She also gave her number to us incase we needed to contact her regarding any of our excursions, we also got 20% voucher for chillbox and 10% voucher for Banging Burgers since we booked with these guys. We had booked the Fiat 500 Boat ride - 1 hour and it truly a experience that we will not be forgetting any time soon the staff down at the docks where very friendly and talked us all through the steps of how the boat worked and kept in contact if we went out of range. We also paid the extra 20 euros for the professional photos that they took of us We also purchased tickets for the monkey park which is a great affordable trip we got a taxi to the monkey park as we wasn’t staying anywhere near it and the park it’s self was just amazing so many different animals not just monkeys and so many great pictures was taken got straight through to entrance instead of queuing as we had purchased the ticket from Tenerife First Excursions Such a great couple of days of excursions will definitely be back to book more trips in the future.

    Booked Car hire, Stargazing, and Kayaking with dolphin through Daniel at Tenerife First before we arrived in Tenerife. Two amazing experiences (living the dream!) and the car hire went smoothly, collected from the airport. Great Excursion company, they really care that you are have a good time. Will be defiantly booking again through Tenerife First Excursions.

    Nous avons réservé deux excursions avec eux et nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Je vous les recommande car niveau rapport qualité prix ils sont au top, ils ne vous vendent pas du rêve comme beaucoup d’autres bureaux d’excursions sur l’île. Merci à Christian pour les tuyaux et à Mattie pour son accueil au bureau ! See you next year 😎

    Upcoming holiday sorted out! We booked a sunset buggy trip through WhatsApp for our upcoming holiday in September, we dealt with Laura who managed to sort us out with ease! We’ve seen online sunset trips are booked up until October time and were worried we’d left it too late, but Laura sorted us right out! Fanastic service, very professional. Hopefully we’ll come into the office to sort more excursions when we’re over in September!
