Itinerary
First we’ll drive along the new highway to the very beautiful viewpoint of the village Chirche for a short photo break. Also to enjoy a good tasting local coffee "El Barraquito". Then we continue to a 500 year old lava flow from the volcano "Boca Cangrejo", with the view to the neighbouring island of La Gomera. Thereafter we drive a little further in to the Teide National Park, and we arrive at a place where we have the opportunity to take a short walk to the crater of the Sámara volcano. We also will pass by the old peak of the Teide "El Pico Viejo" with its huge lava field of over 5 km². Fairly recent with just over 200 years ago. Further on we arrive at the famous place of the park with an amazing landscape and the great famous rocks named "Roques de García". Here you’ll have some time to take some beautiful pictures. Good to bring on the tour: water, snack, comfortable clothing and a jumper or jacket, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, comfortable shoes and a face mask
Across the street at the Parador de Cañadas del Teide there is also a cafeteria and a nice souvenir shop. On the way back to the south, we stop at a beautiful viewpoint of a number of volcanoes and the enormous pine forest. In the village of Vilaflor you will find the oldest and largest pine tree "El Pino Gordo" for our last photo break. And last but not least, a short drive through the wine region of Abono towards your hotel.

Brilliant half day tour of mount Tiede with an excellent guide, who was very knowledgeable about the area and Tenerife in general (Philip). He spoke both English and Dutch on the tour effortlessly. Amazing scenery and plenty of stop points. The time spent at each spot was just right, giving the opportunity to explore and take pictures. Would highly recommend
A brilliant, informative, picturesque day out. Philip, our tour guide, was excellent. He seemlessly switched between English and Dutch throughout the trip and was so informative we learnt a lot about the national park and Tenerife. Plenty of picture opportunities and an hour to explore some of the national park. Would definitely recommend
A very pleasant and informative trip with a special driver, Francois and his dog, Chico. Fully recommend.
We would absolutely recommend this trip to Mount Teide. It was a really personalised experience, with a small group of just four people, which made it feel relaxed and enjoyable. The van was comfortable and just the right size for this kind of tour. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, passionate about the area, and able to speak multiple languages fluently. He clearly loves what he does and it shows in the way he shares information and looks after the group. He also brought along his little dog, who was lovely company and added a really nice touch to the experience. He is also a very careful driver which made the journey even more pleasant, especially on mountain roads. Overall, a great experience and a great choice if you are looking for something more personal and authentic.
Well worth it. Francois was very knowledgeable & approachable. The trip was a perfect pace with enough comfort breaks (make sure you have your €1 ready if you need 'to go') & opportunities to photograph the most wonderful & spectacular scenery. Highly recommended, 10/10.
Miguel was excellent. A very friendly guide who knew a lot about Tenerife and Spain in general. Great way to see some of the island; would highly recommend!
Excellent tour. Our driver/guide was really helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable would definitely recommend doing.
Have made a great fun trip with Miguel. During which we learned extensively about Tenerife and especially the volcanoes. It was a beautiful experience.
Tired national park is amazing. Guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Could maybe do with a bit more time at Tide itself but overall excellent
Francois provided us with a great deal of historic and geographical knowledge and not to mention stunning vistas. We also stopped at family run local shop in a small village that was lovely. I believe it was money well spent.
