Highlights
- Vilaflor - Here we’ll have time to enjoy the Vilaflor town and have a little walk at the square and center of the beautiful and peaceful center of the village. Also, we’ll have time to get to a local cafeteria and enjoy some local coffee and or treats. This way we get to acclimatize to the height around 1500m.
- El Pino Gordo - At this magical place, we will enjoy a view of one of the oldest Canary pine trees on the island. So thick and so high, you’ll be amazed by the size and age of this wonderful pine tree. Great moment for photography!
-
Mirador de Vilaflor - This is a unique point of view, we will be able to see the east of Tenerife. The neighboring island Gran Canaria, and the entire south east region of the island from the South Airport until Los Cristianos.
While experiencing the panoramic views, we’ll also be able to smell the wonderful pine forest of Vilaflor. - Mirador de Boca Tauce - Here we’ll be at the National Park Teide and experience an environment with different lava materials from different ages. Also, we’ll be able to enjoy a fantastic view of the Teide Volcano and Volcano Pico Viejo. This place allows us to realize the impact volcanic activities had on the island Tenerife through the years.
- Queen’s Shoe - At this special place, we will be able to experience the great effect and impact of mother nature. An area surrounded with great cliffs and especially one special rock in particular named the Queen’s Shoe. It has been shaped by time and extreme climates through thousands of years impacting the shape of the rock and transforming it into a very unique shape looking like a high heel shoe. (Queen’s Shoe).
-
Los Roques de Garcia - This fantastic place is the highlight of the National Park Teide.
We will be able to explore different landscapes looking like lunar landscapes, lava landscapes, and bizarre rock shapes named (Roques de Garcia) Those rocks are the most photographed rocks of the National Park Teide giving us the feeling as of we are on planet Mars.
Here we’ll have time to explore, discover, experience, and enjoy the environment. Also, there is a cafeteria in this area where we could have something to drink, or perhaps relax and enjoy the views from the terrace. -
Pico Viejo - Here at the volcano Pico Viejo we will be able to enjoy the view of the second highest peak of Tenerife and the Canary Islands with a height of 3135 m above sea level. Last erupted in 1798 from the side of the volcano and referred to as the noses of Teide. It ejected about 12 million m³ of black lava in 92 days.
At this great location, we also will be able to experience a fantastic view of the neighboring island La Gomera. -
Mirador de los Poleos - This is one of our final stops where we will have a great panoramic view of the neighboring islands, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro.
We will be able to experience a landscape shaped by volcanic materials and amazing Pine trees growing through the volcanic rock. This opportunity allows us to also see some of the volcanic eruptions which have occurred through the past years like the last eruption from volcano Chinyero. -
Mirador de Chirche - Here we’ll have our final stop. This opportunity allows us to enjoy a fantastic view of the west region of the Island. From Adeje, all the way to Los Gigantes and the Teno mountains. At the same time, we will have a great view of the island La Gomera and La Palma.
Also here we’ll have the possibility to get to a lovely cafeteria for a nice coffee, or perhaps a snack.

Amazing tour - The trip was a lot of funny. Or guide knew so much about the national park as well as the history of the island. We got to see a Lot, and also had enough time to wonder around

Highly recommended! - Excellent trip with just 8 participants. Ozzie was very informative and helpful and we had a great trip to the national park. Highly recommended and we will definitely use this company again when we come back to Tenerife.

The highlight of the trip - Many thanks to Guide Ossy! - Fantastic good guide Ossy. Can really recommend this tour. You get very good information and knowledge about volcanoes and Tenerife itself. In a larger group this would not have been possible.
Everything worked smoothly and Ossy picked us up near our hotel. The car was clean, safe and plenty of room for all of us. Ossy also drove the car safely without feeling unsafe.
Otherwise, the commitment was high on Ossy's part, which indicates that he loves his work.
I can only give my warmest recommendations to anyone traveling to Tenerife, to book this tour even if it costs a little more than a bus tour.

We had a nice trip and... - We had a nice trip and saw lots. We had Pablo leading our tour who was nice but wasn’t as informative as we were hoping and based on other reviews we have seen, was less talkative than Ozzy. We still had a nice time though

The Teide - The three of us liked it a lot. We made several stops and the explanations are adequate for a heterogeneous group... explaining both the evolution of the island geologically and economically. (Although I will say that we Spaniards like to party, but we also work....) We shared the experience with another family, which even allowed us to practice a little English... somewhat forgotten as we always did not use it. But the explanations were in both languages. Teide is a place from another planet, spectacular!! Next time we will do the star excursion. Definitely!!
