Seven hours across western Tenerife in a group of no more than eight people, with hotel pickup and a guide who works in Polish. Instead of a coach carrying fifty strangers you travel in an air-conditioned minibus, and the pace of the day is set by your group rather than by a timetable.<\/p>\n
We start at the Mirador de Archipenque<\/strong>, a viewpoint above the Los Gigantes cliffs, where the rock wall drops straight into the ocean. From here you see the full length of it, which is impossible from the harbour below.<\/p>\n Next we climb into the Teno mountains<\/strong>. From the viewpoint you look down into the Masca valley, and minutes later you are driving into it along a narrow road of tight switchbacks. In Masca itself, a former pirate village, there is time for a barraquito coffee and a walk between the stone houses.<\/p>\n The next stop is Garachico<\/strong>. Volcanic lava once flooded the town, and that lava carved the natural pools you see today. When conditions allow, you can swim in them. The day ends in Icod de los Vinos<\/strong> at the Drago Milenario, a dragon tree over a thousand years old.<\/p>\n Food is not included in the price, but we stop at local guachinches, family run eating houses where you get the same food as the residents at local prices.<\/p>\n It suits people who would rather not share a bus with several dozen strangers and who want to ask the guide questions all day. It works well for families, couples and groups of friends travelling together who want the vehicle to themselves.<\/p>\n If you are looking for the cheapest island tour, this is not it. Note also that the guide works in Polish, so book it if that is your language. The road down to Masca is narrow and full of bends, worth considering if anyone gets badly car sick.<\/p>\n The tour lasts 7 hours<\/strong> and starts between 8:30 and 9:30 with a pickup at your hotel, anywhere on the island. If you are staying elsewhere, write to us, because the trip can also be arranged from other parts of the island. Dates are set individually, so mark your preferred day in the booking form and we confirm the rest afterwards.<\/p>\n Your ticket with the exact time and meeting point arrives by email within 24 hours of booking. The order of the stops may change depending on the weather and road conditions. Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before the start<\/strong> with a 100% refund.<\/p>\n Not sure whether to pick this route or the Teide version. Write to us and we will tell you which fits your holiday plan better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seven hours across western Tenerife in a group of no more than eight, guided in Polish, with hotel pickup.
