Vuelta a la Isla: A private, 8‑hour circuit through Tenerife’s towns, gardens and coastal vistas.
Over the course of an eight-hour private excursion from Santa Cruz de Tenerife you move from seaside basilicas and lava beaches to terraced vineyards, botanic gardens and the celebrated Drago tree in Icod de los Vinos—a day that compresses the island’s cultural landmarks, landscape variety and regional flavors into a single circuit.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Coastal towns and vineyard terraces
The itinerary threads from Candelaria’s basilica and coastal lava shoreline up through the vinicultural slopes around El Sauzal, where terraced fields recall the island’s history of tropical-fruit and tomato export.
Icod’s Drago and Garachico’s lava story
A dedicated stop in Icod de los Vinos is timed for a photo of the Drago Milenario; later, the viewpoint at Garachico recalls the town’s partial destruction by the 1706 lava flow.
Local tastes from a mountain lunch to tastings
Lunch in La Orotava follows a starter of Canarian soup and a main course choice of local fish, meat or vegetarian, with wine and water included, while small tastings like wine and cactus‑fig jam are offered later.
