Tenerife Full Island Tour: Los Gigantes, Icod & Candelaria

The practical value is simple: the route joins several places that are awkward to combine by public transport in a single day. Los Gigantes, Garachico, Icod de los Vinos, Puerto de la Cruz and Candelaria sit across different parts of Tenerife, so doing the same loop independently means a long day of driving, parking and timetable planning. Here, the transport and guiding are bundled, and Tiqets currently lets you choose an available pickup location during checkout. The trade-off is that this is a broad overview rather than a deep visit to one attraction, and separate site admissions plus all food and drinks remain at your own expense.

This is one of the better first-visit coach tours for travelers who want a broad sense of Tenerife beyond the resort strip but do not specifically need Mount Teide or Masca. The day combines dramatic west-coast scenery, historic north-coast towns and the cultural stop at Candelaria in a logical loop. It is especially useful if you are staying at one of the selected hotels served by the pickup network. If Masca is a priority, choose the island tour with Masca instead; if Teide is the reason for the excursion, choose a dedicated Teide product because this route does not include the National Park or cable car.

Choose this tour if you are a first-time Tenerife visitor, want to see several island highlights in one day and prefer coach transport to self-driving. It is a good fit for travelers who value a guided overview, can use one of the selected hotel pickup points and are comfortable with an approximately 8-hour multi-stop day. The current Tiqets product lists live guiding in English and Spanish.

Skip this product if your main goal is Mount Teide, the cable car, Masca village or a hiking experience, because none of those is the focus of this itinerary. It is also not ideal if you want long independent visits in each town or expect attraction admissions and meals to be bundled. Entry to sites along the route is excluded, food and drinks are excluded, and the activity is not currently marked as wheelchair accessible.

Select an available pickup location during checkout and keep your smartphone voucher ready. Tiqets currently lists a 09:00 start and an overall duration of about 8 hours, with hotel pickup and drop-off included for selected hotels.

The first major sightseeing point is the Archipenque viewpoint above Los Gigantes, where the route focuses on views of the cliffs. The coach then continues through the Santiago del Teide area, passing Erjos and El Tanque before stopping at Mirador de La Villa and continuing to Puerto de Garachico.

The next main stop is Icod de los Vinos, where the supplier highlights free time to see the famous Dragon Tree area. Entry fees to sites along the route are not included, so treat any paid attraction admission as an extra unless your selected option explicitly states otherwise.

The tour then continues to Puerto de la Cruz for a lunch break. Food and drinks are not included, so you arrange your own meal. After lunch, the route heads south to Candelaria before the return transfer.

Check the exact pickup point shown for your selected booking. The current ticket includes pickup and drop-off only from selected hotels, so do not assume every Tenerife accommodation is served. Keep your smartphone voucher available for boarding.

Allow about 8 hours for the excursion. The current live-guide languages are English and Spanish. Bring money or a payment method for lunch and any attraction admissions you choose, because food, drinks and entry to sites along the route are excluded.

Current Tiqets terms allow free cancellation and rescheduling until 24 hours before the visit. The activity is not currently marked as wheelchair accessible.

The full-day Tenerife products in the catalog cover different island loops. This tour is the Los Gigantes-Icod-Puerto de la Cruz-Candelaria option, with selected-hotel pickup and no Teide or Masca stop. The Tenerife Island Tour with Masca instead combines Candelaria, La Orotava, Garachico and Masca. The Teide and Masca Grand Tour focuses on Teide National Park, Icod, Garachico and Masca. The dedicated Masca and Teno small-group tour narrows the day to the north-west in a much smaller group. Choose this product when Los Gigantes, Icod, Puerto de la Cruz and Candelaria are the places you most want in one organized day.

Cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity.
