Masca, Garachico and Icod de los Vinos – private north Tenerife tour 6h

This private tour is the perfect opportunity to discover some of the most scenic and historic places in northern Tenerife. The route combines spectacular landscapes, traditional Canarian towns and fascinating locations connected to the island’s history and nature.

Your journey begins with hotel pick-up, followed by a drive towards the western coast of Tenerife. The first highlight is Los Gigantes – the impressive cliffs rising dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean. These monumental rock walls, reaching heights of up to 600 meters, are among the most iconic natural attractions on the island and offer unforgettable panoramic views.

The tour then continues to La Arena Beach, famous for its volcanic black sand and relaxed atmosphere. It is a popular place among locals and an ideal stop to enjoy the scenery.

Next, you will visit Masca, one of the most famous and picturesque villages in Tenerife. Located in the Teno mountains, this small village is surrounded by deep ravines and spectacular landscapes. According to local legends, pirates once used the area as a hiding place for their treasures. Walking through Masca allows you to experience the authentic and peaceful side of Tenerife.

The excursion also includes Garachico – a historic town rebuilt after the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in 1706. Today, Garachico is admired for its traditional architecture, charming streets and natural lava pools, which are among the most unique attractions on the northern coast.

At the end of the tour, you will visit Icod de los Vinos, home to the famous Drago Milenario, the ancient dragon tree considered one of the symbols of Tenerife. This extraordinary tree is one of the island’s most visited landmarks and an important part of Canarian heritage.

Thanks to the private nature of the tour, the itinerary can be adapted to your preferences, while your guide ensures comfort and shares interesting stories about the history, culture and landscapes of the region.
