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! Bucket list experience! Do it! Booked our trip with Mark at Tenerife First Excursions, got quote initially before we booked it, got another quote further up the front was a lot more expensive. Went back to mark who then knocked a further discount off as we booked another trip along with this one. Mark was great, not pushy at all, great down to earth guy and will Definitely book through him in the future. The buggy trip was fantastic, thought I might have been scared going through the mountains but felt very safe, plenty of guides out with you on the trip. Well Worth the money! Views are amazing! Thank you !

    We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim!
    I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday!
    It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us!
    We booked loads of different trips!
    3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s!
    Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it!
    10/10 service and friendliness

    I booked in with first excursions

    doing the duel ticket for

    Siam Park & Lorro Park

    Both as good as each other enjoyed the full experience. Was well worth the prices paid.

    Also booked the Stargazing tour with these guys. I couldn't wish for anything better than to experience something so beautiful. Was lost for words 😄

    From start to finish the staff and the teams that are included it's definitely 5stars from my self and my partner.

    Enjoy the fellow followers and get them tickets booked!!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

    Pleasant boat ride Spacious boat, did not get seasick. Did see some whales. Fun getting in the water, but Tenerife isn’t really a snorkeling destination, so nothing to see. Lunch was substantial, not just snacks like other tour options. The captain was interesting lol. Very thick Italian accent and his voice does not project, so everyone had trouble hearing and/or understanding him, and he’d get progressively frustrated when he repeated himself. This is not to say he wasn’t nice, he still kept everyone’s glasses full and was helpful whenever anyone had questions.

    Absolute first class service provided by this company. Dolphin and whale watching excursion on a beautiful yacht skippered by a friendly and knowledgable skipper. Food and drink included and all for a fantastic price. A brilliant birthday surprise for my mum who loved every second and will definitely be using Tenerife First Excursions again…
    Thank you!! 😁

    Met Daniel and The MacMaster on a very windy December morning as they were on route for breakfast and ourselves to meet Kim. What a friendly bunch of people made us feel so welcome.
    Had a great chat with Kim who is very professional and certainly went out her way to help us. We booked the sunset tour with the star gazing for my 40+2 birthday on the Friday. what an experience. When we come back to Tenerife we will certainly be back for a catch up and rebook it again. Definitely a trip to do. I won’t give any spoilers on it but get it booked up.
