Discover the extraordinary beauty of Tenerife on an unforgettable excursion through volcanic landscapes, traditional Canarian villages, historic towns and the breathtaking scenery of the island's west coast.
This spectacular journey takes you from the majestic heights of Mount Teide to the charming villages of Icod de los Vinos, Garachico and Masca, before passing the magnificent cliffs of Los Gigantes.
Experience the remarkable contrasts that make Tenerife such a fascinating destination, from ancient volcanic formations and lush pine forests to historic coastal towns and dramatic mountain landscapes.
Vilaflor & Teide National Park
Your adventure begins with a journey through Vilaflor, one of Tenerife's beautiful mountain villages.
From here, travel through magnificent Canarian pine forests towards the extraordinary volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park.
The scenery gradually transforms into an almost lunar landscape, with dramatic lava fields, volcanic formations and colourful rock formations stretching across the high-altitude plateau.
These otherworldly surroundings have attracted international filmmakers, with productions such as Clash of the Titans(2010) using Tenerife's extraordinary volcanic landscapes as filming locations.

Icod de los Vinos – The Legendary Dragon Tree
Our next destination is Icod de los Vinos, a traditional Canarian town famous for its winemaking heritage and the remarkable Drago Milenario, Tenerife's legendary dragon tree.
This ancient tree is one of the island's most recognisable natural landmarks and has long been associated with local traditions and legends.
The town offers a wonderful opportunity to appreciate traditional Canarian culture and architecture.
You'll have time here to enjoy lunch at your leisure and sample some local Canarian cuisine.
Please note: Lunch is not included in the excursion price.
Garachico – A Town Reborn from Volcanoes
Continue to the beautiful coastal town of Garachico, one of Tenerife's most historically significant destinations.
Once an important trading port, Garachico was dramatically transformed by a volcanic eruption in 1706, which destroyed much of the town and its harbour.
Today, Garachico is admired for its traditional architecture, charming streets and remarkable volcanic coastline.

Nestled among steep mountains and dramatic ravines, this small village is famous for its traditional Canarian charm, breathtaking viewpoints and peaceful mountain atmosphere.
