Tenerife · MASCA & ANAGA
39 reviewed
The green north is a different island: hairpin roads down to Masca, the laurel forests of Anaga wrapped in cloud, villages that time forgot. Ranked below are the best tours into both, with which take the walking route and which stay on the bus, how long you are on your feet, and what each one costs.
Watch whales or dolphins near Los Gigantes, then cool off with a swim in Masca Bay under the cliffs on a 2-hour speedboat tour.
“It was incredible, my partner and I had the best time and saw lots of cool pilot whales. The sea swim by Masca was also perfection.”
A 9-hour Tenerife loop hitting Teide National Park, Icod’s Dragon Tree, Garachico lava pools, and cliffside Masca with a live guide.
“It was an amazing experience. Both driver and guide were so good! Worth every penny! Highly recommended to take up the visit!”
Full-day coach tour from Tenerife with Teide National Park views, Masca Valley village time, Garachico lava coast, and hotel pickup.
“We spent a lot of time in the bus and really little time exploring. We had only 30 minutes to explore the Teide and 30 minutes to explore Masca, which was not enough time. Also the tour was offered in three languages at once (English, Spanish and German) so the guide would repeat everything three times in a row, which we found a bit annoying. Hats off to her for knowing that many languages though. Overall we were glad we did the tour and to see all those beautiful places, but I would recommend renting a car instead.”

“A great adventure and an unforgettable experience. Professional service that takes care of you from the beginning to the end. It was great to see dolphins in their natural environment. I recommend to everyone. Greetings from Poland”
Small-group hiking in Tenerife’s UNESCO Anaga reserve: misty laurel forest, Teide views, and a scenic picnic for $122.
“Stunning scenery, friendly & knowledgable guide, small group, away from the crowds- The perfect day out! We were collected around the corner from our hotel in Costa Adeje by Alex our guide and collected the rest of the group en route to Anaga. Our first stop gave us an opportunity to explore the enchanted forest and learn about the different climates on the island. We then set off for our main hike- a circular route within Anaga. Alex’s route was fabulous with breathtaking scenery throughout. We were isolated away from tourists and able to enjoy the natural beauty all to ourselves. We particularly loved walking along the old waterways. Alex…”

“This was one of the greatest Hikes I did so far. a big part is thanks to Toni, our guide. He guided us through the sometimes slippery path, supporter us along the way when needed and told us many interesting stories about Masca and Tenerife in general. He is genuinly interested in everything he does. Thanks Toni. Book this trip. You'll not regret it”
Full-day Tenerife tour to Mount Teide and Masca Valley with Teide National Park, the 1,000-year dragon tree, Garachico, and pickup.
