Key details
The three excursions
Tuesdays: Masca and Garachico with Teide National Park. You cross the park with stops to learn about its geology and plants, pause in Garachico — the harbour buried by a lava flow in 1706, whose natural pools now sit on that same rock — and cross the Teno massif to Masca, the village wedged into the ravine. Eight hours, €59, without lunch.
Thursdays: the Teide, La Orotava and Icod de los Vinos. Across the national park, down through the La Orotava valley among Canary pines, lunch at a traditional restaurant with wine included, and a visit to La Orotava's historic centre, a listed heritage site. It ends in Icod de los Vinos, home to the thousand-year-old dragon tree, the most famous in the Canaries. Eight hours, €79, lunch included.
Fridays: Anaga and La Laguna. First stop at Las Teresitas beach, then the Anaga Rural Park — a Biosphere Reserve — through Taganana and the Cruz del Carmen viewpoint at 920 metres, and finally La Laguna, a World Heritage Site, explored on foot through its old town. Eight hours, €79, lunch included.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a Spanish, English or German version?
No. These three excursions are guided in French and only in French, all day. We say it plainly because it is the first thing to know: if you do not understand French, you will miss everything the guide says. We have multilingual excursions to the same areas.
Which of the three should I choose?
If it is your first time on the island, Thursday's: Teide, La Orotava and Icod with the dragon tree, lunch included, €79. If you want green landscape and coast, Friday's through Anaga. And for the best price, Tuesday's to Masca and Garachico at €59, though you bring your own lunch.
How long do they last and is there hotel pick-up?
Eight hours maximum for all three, and yes: pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation are included, anywhere in southern Tenerife. The exact time is confirmed beforehand.
