About this activity

Ideal for cruise or airplane passengers at the North airport. Tenerife is an island where its particular geology influences everything, so there is nothing better than having an official tour guide and geologist to show you the island.

You will be picked up at the port or airport (or any area of the metropolitan area, at your choice) and from there we will depart to see several of the main places on the island (the list below is just a suggestion). The trip is totally adaptable to your tastes, so once in the car we will decide where to go and what to do, whether to make many stops or few, etc. Always with the professional advice of the guide and driver.

Itinerary

Mirador de Chipeque

20 min

Fantastic views of the Orotava Valley, Teide, the Izaña Observatory and the sea of clouds.
Teide National Park

3 hours

Teide National Park is the most visited in Europe and ninth in the world. We will be in it for several hours and will see examples (in addition to those mentioned below), explained by the guide, of a multitude of geological and natural phenomena.

It has the Teide-Pico Viejo stratovolcano which, at 3,718 m, is the highest peak in Spain. It rises 7,500 m above the ocean floor, is considered to be the third tallest volcanic structure in the world and stands in spectacular surroundings. The visual impact of the place is even greater due to the atmospheric conditions that create constantly changing textures and tones in the landscape and a "sea of clouds" that forms a visually stunning backdrop for the mountain. The global importance of Teide is that it is a vivid sample of the geological processes underlying the evolution of the oceanic islands.
Mirador Minas de San Jose

40 min

Walk through one of the most special areas of the National Park, with an interesting history and an amazing landscape. There we will discover the geological history of Tenerife, marked by eruptions and the transformative force of nature, as well as magnificent examples of unique local flora of Teide.
Los Roques de Garcia

one hour

One of the most photographed icons of Teide National Park. These impressive rock formations, shaped for millennia by volcanic erosion and wind, emerge in whimsical shapes in the middle of the Ucanca plain. From this enclave you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Teide and the volcanic circus of Las Cañadas, making it the favorite viewpoint in the park. Although we will also be in others more hidden...

And why not, we'll have a coffee with the best views of the island.
Valle de La Orotava

one hour

Created by a colossal landslide, the valley is today an orchard where banana trees and vines are planted and where life bustles. Spectacular views of the mountains, the sea, and the neighboring island of La Palma. Depending on the time available and your interests, we will visit a cafe with impressive views, viewpoints on the road or the beautiful city of La Orotava, with its palaces and beautiful historic center.
Centro Historico De San Cristobal De La Laguna

one hour

UNESCO World Heritage, for being the first Spanish/American colonial city. Its historic center contains the first ideal “city-territory” drawn according to philosophical principles. Its wide streets and open spaces are flanked by beautiful churches and public and private buildings dating from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
