Highlights
  • Vilaflor - We will cross the Canarian pine forests until we reach the Teide National Park, located at about 2000 meters above sea level.

This natural space was declared a National Park in 1954, with the aim of protecting this landscape of incredible beauty and high ecological value.

We will make a quick stop for a refreshment and using the toilets if needed.

  • Teide National Park - Along the route we will make some stops so that you can admire everything that this natural space has to offer.

Las Cañadas del Teide form a caldera of 17 km. on which the peak of the volcano sits. A landscape that with its cones, flows and caves seems from another planet.

  • Teide Cable Car - Later we will go to the base of the cable car where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Ucanca Valley.

Optionally and subject to availability, you can take the Teide Cable Car to La Rambleta station, located at 3,550m, where you will be a few meters from the highest peak in Spain.

  • Los Roques de Garcia - We will resume the march and visit the Roques de García, where you will see one of the most emblematic images of Tenerife, as well as other important attractions of the National Park.
  • Chio - In the way back, we will make another stop for bathroom or a refreshment in a local cafeteria in Chío before re-starting the way back to the touristic area of South Tenerife.

Along the route we will make some stops so that you can admire all that the natural area of Las Cañadas del Teide has to offer: a landscape of impressive lava flows that looks as if it has been brought from another planet.

We will visit some of the most emblematic places of the National Park, such as the Llanos de Ucanca, or Los Roques de García.

We will make a stop at the base of the cable car where, if you have purchased your ticket in advance and subject to availability, you can take the Teide Cable Car up to La Rambleta station, where you will be just a few metres from the peak.

Shaky Start But Amazing Experience - After a fraught start where we couldn't get a straight answer on the pick-point (due to hotel name change) and an unfortunate exchange with a rather abrupt female guide (on the first English speaking bus), overall, we had an excellent time on the "Teide By Night" experience!! The tour guide Fernando was simply outstanding in his professionalism and in his knowledge both of Teide National Park and of astronomy for the star-gazing section. Also, thanks to the bus driver who again was very professional and generous with his time. We were wined and dined (food was not bad :-)) and learned lots about both the park and the stars, constellations, planets, etc. It went well beyond our expectations and we would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Tenerife. May even be a reason to go to Tenerife!!

Excellent - Very good experience overall! Everything was well organized. The guide was excellent and explained everything in detail. The journey went smooth and the timing to go back to the coach after each activity was well organized and sufficient to take pictures and enjoy every stop. The cable car experience is a must so go for it:)

Fabulous Day! - What an amazing day! Javier was a fab guide - so many facts and switched between 3 languages which was awesome! Dorte was a great driver, especially with the bendy roads! We were lucky it was such a clear day. All the stops were great. The cable cart is a must do - what views! We had such a wonderful day, muchas gracias!

Value for money - Fantastic value for money. Would’ve liked to spend more time at the main National park point. Also no option for those who wished to use the cable cart. Not a problem for us but I imagine some people were thinking about it. Would recommend!

Half day el teide tour at a great price - Wonderful tour of El Teide with guide Peter and driver Bernardo. Pick up just down the street from our villa in Los Gigantes and as others have mentioned a bit of a winding route to pick up other passengers as we were right at the beginning but it did mean we were first to be dropped off as well at the end of the tour. Aside from that the tour was wonderful and Peter kept us amused with his interplay with Bernardo. Multilingual information provided (4 languages). Excellent value in a comfortable coach. Unfortunate that we could not ride the cable car due to high winds but many stops were made to allow us to view the incredible landscape. Excellent value for the price paid. Our thanks to Allen in Los Gigantes for being able to arrange for the tour so quickly for us yesterday as this was one of the sites we really wanted to visit while in Tenerife.

Good tour - We went on afternoon half-day tour. We really enjoyed the trip. Our guide Fonzo was very enthusiastic, informative and clear, which made the coach journey very interesting. The volcano and surrounding scenery is spectacular and really worth seeing. The landscape is like something out of this world. We went up the cable car, which again is worth doing. However, the time we got at the top was perhaps on the short side due to the queues and the need to get back down in time for the bus. But overall, enjoyable tour.

Great tour, shame about the tour guide - I have done many Teidi tours. This was my husbands first and he was super excited. The tours itself was good. Plenty of places to stop and grab a drink or go to the loo. The photo stops were amazing. It’s all been well thought out to make sure you see the best bits and arrive earlier than the masses. The tour guide was disinterested, un engaging and wanted to be anywhere but on the tour. No pleasantries and to be honest he was just down right rude at times. He didn’t get off the coach with the group in mind, you would only see him just as we needed to get back on. Grateful that Teidi is amazing and that the tour itself was good. Google helped fill in any blanks.

Mixed review - Need to be aware that the coach picks up at nearly every possible stop and ended up more than a hour late picking us up Trip up the mountain through the park was ok and Mount Teide is a must see if you go to Tenerife Sadly too windy to go in the cable car but did enjoy the walk in landscapes Couple of stops on the way back but had to endure the hour plus of dropping people off

Cramped coach disorganised company - Coach seats cramped . We Sat on back row and so could not see out of tiny window at back. Air con did not work at back of coach and fumes smell made us all feel sick. We could not hear or understand your guide on coach tannoy. Coach was over an hour late at pick up with no text or communication from company led to a very stressful experience, spoiled our day. We did not know what was happening, when to eat or when we should come back to the overcrowding coach
