One day to see the most authentic Tenerife: the Teide volcano, the Thousand-Year-Old Drago of Icod, the colonial town of Garachico, and the hidden ravines of Masca.

It is the perfect option if you want to know the essentials of the island in a single trip, without needing a rental car: we pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation, and throughout the tour you will have a tour guide who will tell you anecdotes and stories of each place. In Garachico you will have free time to walk around and eat on your own, and we will end the day in Masca, one of the most spectacular corners of Tenerife. Ideal for couples and families on their first visit to the island, or for those who prefer a relaxed pace without driving.

    Interesting Tour on the West / North of the Island

    Local pickup was arranged, and we did spend the first hour picking up people from other areas. First stop was Villaflor, be aware that the cafe charges €1 to use the toilet bit cheeky when there were 4 buses stopped there and the queue fir the cafe was out the door. Next stop was Tiede where you had free time for a look round and photos. The guide gave lots of interesting information on the island as we were driving. Next stop was Icod, where we walked to see the dragon tree and historical centre. Here was time for lunch, there was a small restaurant we chose to eat here and the meal was very good. Next stop was Garachico, very historic, guide took us to see the natural pools created by the lava flow and the few buildings that were not destroyed in the eruption. Last stop was Masca here again the cafe will charge for use of the toilet. The best bit of Masca was the drive in and out on a single track road which was full of hairpin bends. The whole day was very interesting learned loads about the island the guide was really knowledgeable. Great day, excellent value, would recommend this tour and the company will definitely use them again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your detailed review and recommendation! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, found the day interesting and appreciated the knowledge and explanations provided by our guide. We’re also glad that you enjoyed discovering places such as Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca, and that you felt the excursion offered good value. Thank you as well for mentioning your comments regarding the stops and facilities along the route. We always appreciate this kind of feedback. Thank you for choosing Island Excursions. We hope to welcome you again soon on another tour in Tenerife!

    Excellent trip

    The trip was spectacular for scenery, volcanic scenery and the contrast of the green floral north area. The guide Laura and the bus driver were exceptionally caring and supportive of those with mobility issues. My wife gets travel sick and our agent at Hotel Tovoli contacted the company and Laura made sure I got a front seat. This enabled both of us to really enjoy the trip which would have been impossible for my wife on many winding roads. Well worth a day to enjoy real Tenerife life. Full praise to Laura and I think the superb driver was I think Hossei

    Pick-up Scam

    I booked this tour specifically because it offered a convenient pick-up point near my location. After my booking, the operator informed me that pick-up from my area was not available because all slots were already fully booked, and offered only a location on the other side of the island or to reschedule the tour for another day. I agreed to reschedule and was told over the phone that I could use the same ticket. However, the next day, they demanded that I pay again, despite our agreement. The tour description and service I received were not as advertised. The operator changed the pickup availability and failed to honor the agreed-upon arrangements. I cannot recommend this service.

    Terrible

    It's terrible, they deceived me. I said I needed transportation from Puerto de Cruz, and they said there were no seats available for that day, but I could go on Monday. But then they demanded payment again for Monday. They just collected the money and didn't provide the tour.

    Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.

    How much does Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.

    Is Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included?

    +

    Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tenerife?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tenerife?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tenerife?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Tenerife North: Teide, Icod, Garachico and Masca - Guide included?
