🌄 What Will You Discover on the Grand VIP Tenerife Island Tour?
🏡 Masca – One of Tenerife's Most Picturesque Mountain Villages
Hidden among the dramatic cliffs and deep valleys of the Teno Mountains, Masca is one of Tenerife's most remarkable and picturesque villages.
The winding mountain roads leading to the village, spectacular ravines and breathtaking panoramic views make the journey itself an unforgettable experience.
But Masca is much more than a beautiful mountain setting. Its traditional Canarian houses, narrow pathways and charming rural architecture offer a fascinating glimpse into a quieter, more authentic side of Tenerife.
During the Grand VIP Tenerife Tour, you'll have the opportunity to discover this unique mountain village, where the peaceful atmosphere feels worlds away from the busy holiday resorts of southern Tenerife.
🌋 Garachico – The Town That Rose Again After a Volcanic Eruption
Located on Tenerife's northern coast, Garachico is one of the island's most beautiful historic towns, with a fascinating past shaped by volcanic activity.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Garachico was one of Tenerife's most important trading ports. However, in 1706, a volcanic eruption caused widespread destruction and buried much of the town's harbour beneath lava.
Despite the disaster, Garachico was rebuilt and gradually transformed into one of Tenerife's most charming coastal towns.
Today, its historic buildings, picturesque squares, cobbled streets and Atlantic Ocean views create a truly special atmosphere.
Along the coastline, you'll also find the famous El Caletón natural swimming pools, formed by solidified volcanic lava – one of Garachico's most distinctive natural attractions.
🌳 Icod de los Vinos – Home of Tenerife's Famous Dragon Tree
Situated in northern Tenerife, Icod de los Vinos is best known for one of the island's most iconic natural landmarks: the Drago Milenario, the famous ancient dragon tree.
This impressive Canarian dragon tree has been a symbol of the town for centuries and remains one of Tenerife's most photographed natural attractions.
Its enormous trunk, distinctive umbrella-shaped crown and remarkable size make it a truly extraordinary sight.
The dragon tree is an important part of the Canary Islands' natural and cultural heritage, surrounded by local legends and centuries-old traditions.
🍌 Banana Plantation – Discover the Famous Canary Islands Bananas
Banana plantations are an essential part of the landscape along Tenerife's northern coast, where the island's mild climate provides ideal conditions for growing this popular fruit.
One of the interesting stops on the Grand VIP Tenerife Island Tour is a visit to a local banana plantation, where you'll discover how the famous Canary Islands bananas are grown and what makes them different from other varieties.
The Plátano de Canarias is one of the archipelago's best-known agricultural products, appreciated for its distinctive flavour, aroma and characteristic skin, often marked with small brown spots.
During the visit, you'll gain an insight into local banana cultivation and discover how Tenerife's unique climate and agricultural traditions contribute to producing this much-loved fruit.
🏛️ La Orotava – History, Traditional Canarian Architecture and Local Cuisine
La Orotava is one of the most beautiful historic towns in northern Tenerife, famous for its elegant mansions, traditional wooden balconies and well-preserved Canarian architecture.
Walking through its historic centre feels like stepping back in time, with centuries-old buildings and charming streets reflecting the island's rich cultural heritage.
One of the town's best-known landmarks is the Casa de los Balcones, a remarkable example of traditional Canarian architecture, particularly famous for its beautifully carved wooden balconies.
One of the highlights of the Grand VIP Tenerife Tour is the lunch stop in La Orotava.
During the excursion, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy traditional Canarian cuisine in a restaurant housed in a historic building dating back to 1595.
More than just a lunch break, this experience offers a chance to discover the flavours, traditions and welcoming atmosphere of Tenerife in an authentic historical setting.
🌋 Teide National Park – The Volcanic Heart of Tenerife
One of the most spectacular highlights of this full-day Tenerife island tour is a visit to Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.
At the heart of the park rises Mount Teide, Spain's highest mountain, standing approximately 3,715 metres above sea level.
The surrounding scenery is almost otherworldly, with vast lava fields, unusual rock formations, volcanic cones and mountainsides displaying remarkable shades of red, brown, black and ochre.
During the Grand VIP Tenerife Tour, you'll explore some of the national park's most famous landscapes, including the extraordinary Roques de García rock formations, among Tenerife's most recognisable natural landmarks.
The dramatic volcanic scenery, striking geological formations and breathtaking mountain views make this one of the most memorable parts of the excursion.
Important: The tour includes a visit to Teide National Park, but the Mount Teide cable car and access to the volcano's summit are not included.
