Mount Teide Guided Tour with Transfers

Your experience

Explore Mount Teide on a guided road tour with round-trip transfers and multilingual commentary, without taking the cable car.

Getting started

Begin your Mount Teide guided tour with pickup from either the north or the south of Tenerife, depending on the option you select during booking. Your booking confirmation is checked when you board the group transport. Once everyone is on board, you travel toward Teide National Park by road, so suitcases and large bags are left behind and only day essentials are brought along.

What to expect

Mount Teide and Teide National Park

Mount Teide didn't appear overnight. It began forming around 150,000 years ago, with successive eruptions building it into the 3,718m volcano you see today. This tour lets you read that story in the landscape itself, from lava flows and volcanic cones to bizarre rock formations.

Features

• Watch Tenerife change with altitude: Travel from lower agricultural areas through pine forests and into the high mountains, where hardy native plants survive Teide's extreme conditions.

• Meet Teide's banknote celebrity: Stop at Roques de García and spot Roque Cinchado, the distinctive formation once featured with Mount Teide on the old 1,000-peseta banknote.

• Walk through a volcanic world: See lava flows, dormant cones, and formations created by eruptions across thousands of years, with sections of the Roques de García trail to explore.

• Science vs. legend: At the Science and Legend exhibition, compare the geological explanation of Teide's formation with the Guanche story of an epic battle involving Guayota, the demon within the volcano.

• Explore in your language: Continue discovering Teide with the included digital audio guide, available in eight languages and featuring commentary on the exhibition and trails.
