Detailed description

Explore the island of Tenerife on the "Discover Tenerife" trip around the island

The exciting trip around the island of Tenerife with a professional tour guide starts in the south of the island with the pick up at or near your hotel. Visit the most popular and most impressive sights of Tenerife on the trip around the island in just one day! The tour initially takes you from the starting point in the south along the west coast up to the top of Los Gigantes. This imposing cliff reaches heights of between 300 and 600 metres. There will be a photo stop here so that you can admire these towering walls of lava and take some photos. Learn more about the history, the life and the people of Tenerife from the professional tour guide during the trip around the island. Mount Teide forms the backdrop to all of this.

The next experience awaits you at the huge dragon tree "El Drago" at Icod de los Vinos. This impressive plant was declared a national monument over 100 years ago, in 1917. This proud tree is unique in the world. It stands 18 metres tall and its trunk has a circumference of 20 meters at the bottom, which make this tree an extraordinary landmark of the island. Scientists estimate that the tree is more than 400 years old. A botanical park was opened around the dragon tree in 1996, in which various endemic plant species of the island such as cardons, tabaibas, palms and lime trees can be seen.

A remarkable panorama and one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the island is waiting for you in Garachico. Many people consider the pearl in the north to be Tenerife’s most beautiful town. It is a place with a small harbour, a fortified castle, numerous churches, squares and museums. Of course, a stop in the home of the patron saint, St. Candelaria, and a visit to the famous basilica by the sea are not to be missed on the trip around the island of Tenerife. With these stops you will discover how diverse Tenerife is in one day, drive through the different climatic zones with their special features and see the striking contrast between North and South with your own eyes. And Tenerife's most famous mountain rises from the centre of the island - the Pico del Teide. At a height of 3,718 metres, this striking elevation towers above everything else on the island. At the same time, the island’s volcano is the third highest in the world.
