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 Had such a good time when I was over in tenerife last week. This is a must do activity was amazing to see how close you where to the dolphins and whales. Also we where aloud a half hour swimming and the guy that took us out was very nice and would answer all your questions. I recommend using Lisa at Tenerife First Excursion. Good prices and very friendly when I am back I will definitely be booking with her agine for other trips.

    Booked our trip Night Skies Tenerife, with Danny from Tenerife Excursions, he is located in Pablo Canario in Las Americas. Great guy working hard in these difficult times. Gave us a great deal, that lots of our friends joined us for the night to remember. Well worth every cent. We were looked after really well from start to finish. Get along and book a trip while there are deals to be had in this very difficult time. Xxxx

    We wanted to see the dolphins but didn't know which boat to take as there are many options. Both Lea and Danny spent over 30 minutes with us answering our questions and listening to what we wanted to recommend the best option for us, they even checked the weather on the day of our trip to make sure that we would have a pleasant trip, and indeed it was. Thanks!

    A lot of excursion reps are a bit annoying and just want their commission but not Matt at Tenerife First Excursions, he took the time to just talk to us of course he did tell us about the excursions we enquired about but on the whole we chatted and this made us go back the next day and book with him
    He was so helpful and a thoroughly a good guy, go see him

    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.
