Teide and Masca tour from southern Tenerife
Activities

Teide and Masca tour from southern Tenerife

This exclusive tour explores Tenerife's most dramatic inland areas. You'll venture in an eight-seater minivan through the otherworldly landscapes of Teide National Park, admire the panoramas from countless viewpoints and visit the ridge-top hamlet of Masca. Plus, there's traditional Canarian lunch on the menu, too. Arianne, one of our expert local guides, say, "I love guiding this tour because it's an overdose of nature, focusing on the island's volcanology, from the past to the present."Your adventure kicks off by heading south into Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – climbing through a dense pine forest. There's a pit stop at Chirche viewpoint, which often overlooks cloud-shrouded terrain below. The scenery around here is still bursting with greenery. But as we journey deeper into the national park, you'll encounter volcanic landscapes that could easily be on the moon, Venus or Mars. Desolate, rock-strewn badlands. A stop at Roques de Garcia allows you to take some pics near these iconic rock formations, with the volcano's cone in the background.Grab a last look at the lava-scarred landscapes at Poleos viewpoint before dropping into a family-run restaurant for a lunch made from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Rounding off the day is a visit to Masca – a hard-to-reach hamlet perched on a ridge in a deep volcanic gorge. Enjoy free time to poke around and take in the vistas.

La Gomera tour with Garajonay Forest and San Sebastian
Excursions & day trips

La Gomera tour with Garajonay Forest and San Sebastian

Likely to sell out

La Gomera boasts unspoilt landscapes and a distinct culture all of its own. On this tour, you'll visit this Jurassic-like island and discover Garajonay National Park, a string of villages and the charming capital, San Sebastian. Arianne, one of our guides, says of the island, ‘La Gomera is a totally different world – it's a return to the past, to the origin of the Canary Islands.'The star of the show is without doubt Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a mishmash of deep ravines and gorges filled with ancient, misty laurel forests and rare plant life. On a visit to its interpretative centre, you'll find out about its botany and history. You'll also get to know hamlets such as oasis-like Chejelipes, which is on the banks of a reservoir, and the northern villages of Hermigua and Aguilo.And you'll get you to learn about local culture, too. There's a demonstration of the unique-to-the-island ‘whistling language' known as 'silbo gomero'. To round off the experience, there's free time to explore San Sebastian. Here, you can follow in the footsteps of Columbus before he began his first voyage of discovery. More than a visit to another island, a trip to La Gomera is a journey to another era.

It's one pretty village after another on this exclusive tour in the rugged northwest of Tenerife. We'll drop in at a roll call of the island's must-visits.

Santiago del Teide, local speciality tasting and a trip to Teno Rural Park are also part of the line-up.You'll journey through Santiago del Teide, a highland village of whitewashed homes. In Icod de Los Vinos, you'll admire the centuries-old dragon tree, with some free time to wander around the town. Garachico – often called the ‘prettiest and unluckiest' – awaits with some interesting history. Devastated by a volcanic eruption in 1706 and rebuilt on its lava, it's now famous for natural lava pools, guarded by a volcanic rock castle, where locals and visitors alike come to bathe. When it's time to take a break, there's a tasty local lunch, served in a family-run restaurant in a traditional finca.

What can you do in Tenerife?

Tenerife isn't a place to admire from afar – it's an island to immerse yourself in. From the volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park to hidden villages and boat trips along the coast, every experience is about discovering places and moments that stay with you.

Spot whales off the south coast, uncover the places locals love, or head out on a day trip that takes you beyond the usual tourist highlights. It's the perfect way to make the most of your time on the island and experience the real Tenerife.

Want to get to know the island before you travel? In our Tenerife travel guide, our local Service Support Representative shares her insider tips, from the places you shouldn't miss to the ones you can happily skip.

The seven best activities and excursions in Tenerife:

1. Explore Teide National Park

Most people come for the summit – the highest peak in Spain – but the real spectacle lies in the landscape that surrounds it. Vast lava fields, striking rock formations and viewpoints that offer a different perspective at every turn. Visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to experience the park at its very best.

2. Make a splash at Siam Park

Fancy something a bit more adventurous? This is the place to be. From adrenaline-pumping slides like the Tower of Power to more relaxing spots such as Mai Thai River and Siam Beach, you can set your own pace. Arrive early to avoid the queues, or plan a few quieter moments between the park's busiest attractions.

3. Visit Loro Parque

Loro Parque is one of Tenerife's most popular days out – and for good reason. Wander through lush tropical gardens and get up close to an incredible variety of animals. Tip: arrive early to beat the crowds and enjoy everything at a more leisurely pace.

4. Take a boat trip along the coast

Catamaran cruises and boat excursions are fantastic ways to explore Tenerife’s coastline. Have you always dreamed of spotting dolphins and whales in their natural habitat? Then the south-west coast is the perfect place. For a more relaxed outing, opt for a boat trip with swimming stops and plenty of time to soak up the sun.

5. Discover Teno and Masca

Here, you’ll see a side of Tenerife that many travelers miss. Narrow roads, steep ravines, and the village of Masca hidden away among the mountains. The views along the way are every bit as impressive as the destination itself.

6. Take an excursion to La Gomera

From Tenerife, you can easily take a day trip to La Gomera. Many excursions combine a visit to Garajonay National Park, San Sebastián, and local traditions such as Silbo Gomero, the island’s unique whistled language.

7. Explore Tenerife’s towns and villages

Don’t overlook the towns and villages. In La Laguna, you can stroll through colourful streets; in Garachico, you’ll see how the island reinvented itself after a volcanic eruption. And in Icod de los Vinos, you’ll find an 800-year-old dragon tree – one of Tenerife’s most iconic symbols.

Plan your visit to Tenerife

You can visit Tenerife throughout the year. In winter, it’s a popular destination for sunshine and outdoor activities, while summer is perfect for beach holidays. Keep in mind that the north of the island is greener and generally receives more rainfall than the sunnier south.

We recommend spending at least five days in Tenerife. This gives you enough time to visit Teide National Park , enjoy a boat trip, explore a few towns and villages, and relax on the beach. If you’d also like to visit La Gomera, Loro Parque or discover several different regions of the island, it’s best to allow seven to ten days.

The south is sunnier and better known for its beaches and holiday resorts. The north is greener, quieter and more cultural. Head south if you're looking to relax, or choose the north for nature, charming villages and a more authentic local atmosphere.

Looking for peace and quiet? Head to Benijo Beach. Prefer a beach with more facilities? Las Teresitas is an excellent choice. If you're after dramatic volcanic scenery, El Bollullo and La Tejita are both well worth a visit. Each beach has its own character, so choose the one that best suits your trip.

Five days gives you enough time to combine a visit to Teide National Park, Siam Park, Loro Parque, La Laguna, Masca and a boat trip along the south-west coast. Add some beach time at Las Teresitas or La Tejita for the perfect mix of nature, culture and relaxation.

Winter is a great time to explore Tenerife. You can go hiking, visit Teide National Park, spot whales and dolphins, discover picturesque villages and enjoy the beaches in the south. Thanks to the island's mild climate, you can make the most of everything Tenerife has to offer all year round.

Tenerife offers something for everyone. Take a trip up Mount Teide for breathtaking scenery, join a boat tour along the coast, or spend a day at Siam Park. Combine outdoor adventures with time to relax, and plan your visits early in the day to avoid the busiest crowds.

Yes. The south-west coast is one of the best places in Europe to spot whales and dolphins in the wild. For a more peaceful and responsible experience, choose a smaller boat tour – you'll often enjoy a more personal trip and have a better chance of an unforgettable wildlife encounter.

Tenerife is an excellent destination for families. Siam Park and Loro Parque are firm favorites, while a boat trip or a relaxing day at the beach is always a hit. Mix active days with quieter moments to keep everyone happy and make the most of your family holiday.
