Reviews of the Tenerife Volcano Tour
Highly recommended. Our guide *** was very knowledgeable and engaging. He was also very friendly and helpful.
Well organised trip from pick-up to drop-off. Good competent guide. Shame there wasn't time to hike to the top. Declare better. Probably costs extra and goes via another provider.
A++
The tour is a great way to see the top of Tenerife, the guide explains things very well in several languages, the driver gives a comfortable and safe ride
Same as before
Excellent visit but planning was hard as latest info on closure status was not posted to website.
Great guided tour. ***, the tour guide, shared intersting facts about the Teide National Park and Jorge, the bus driver, was amazing on the narrow roads!
Good experience although I did feel there were too many people squashed I to the cable car
A very nice tour with the cable car.
Hello. It was a wonderful experience! The guide ***, with her sweet voice and constant smile, explained very interesting things about Teide, the park and the surroundings! She was helpful and patient with tourists who asked questions about the routes in the park! That says a lot... we were lucky to go on a smaller bus and for me this was much cheaper than traveling in a large bus. The driver, an experienced person, is also a plus! The schedule of the activity, although it may seem early, is one of the best, comparing that many people go and that many more arrive later! Thank you and we will do it again! The park has much more to see and next time we will sign up for the observatory!
La guia y el.conductor excelentes. Una excursion muy bien organizada
If you don't get to Mount Teide (or near it, if the cable car doesn't work due to the wind), you can say you haven't been to Tenerife.
Every aspect of this tour was perfect for me! I really enjoyed it and I was happy to join. •The route and the visiting points were great. I could see the great views from the Teide mountain, and even during the bus ride. Seeing the landscape from higher places than the clouds was extraordinary. And the optional hiking(optional so that if you’re tired or don’t feel like hiking, you can rest on the cable car station) was very nice enough for me. The guide kindly suggested one hour course and it was awesome and not too tiring. •The explanation from the guide was full of great information, and the English translation was perfect and equal as the Spanish version. She also recommended the local food and wine, and it was very helpful. •I appreciated the suggestion of clothes in the confirmation email. It was not too cold in the end of June, but wearing jeans and boots was a correct choice because the hiking road was very rocky and I could have scratched my skin if I didn’t wear long pants/jeans. Thank you so much for organizing such a great trip!!! Thanks to you, my Tenerife trip became amazing!!
Prompt, comfortable and cable car tickets managed well. Good communications to. However the tour needs to offer a little more of the national park, not least access to one of the small villages that other tours provide.
Up front your bus driver was EXCELLENT I would give him 5 stars. Our tour guide was more interested and friendly with Spanish speaking. When she did translate to English it was very soft spoken & short. We stopped for toilets, coffee & food but one had to eat, pee & drink quickly. You must always remember the women's line is always longer and slower than the men's. We got to the cable car and were able to ride to the top but the 1 hour we had plus 1/2 to get in line for the cable car to get us back down was to short. The two walks available based on the brochure took anywhere from 25-30 minutes one-way. The pathway was very uneven and major tripping hazard. For a kid or under 30 this is probably easy to do, however, when you get retired folks its not that easy and safe. More time was needed up at the top. We then drove to the Caldera which gave us 25 minutes and in order to climb the steps one needed more time. I noticed there was a visitor's center, which we never got to see. Not sure but there might have been interesting information in there. One other thing because the roads have so many windy, hairpin turns it would be good to let people know that before they get on the bus instead of when you are on the bus. Again the bus driver was awesome. The other thing I didn't like was when I looked the tour up it was 74 but I had to check with my kids & hubbie and when I went back a few minutes later the price had jumped to 85. Would I recommend this tour, probably not.
Good excursion and tourist guide
Everything was fine!!!
Bus trip through Teide National Park. We were picked up in Candelaria. Guide spoke three languages (Spanish, English and German). Multiple sight-seeing stops but none long enough to do any walking or hiking.
Take a public bus instead, a lot cheaper
Brilliant. Well timed and lots to see. I wish that there were more trips from Santa Cruz, but as a whole would recommend the Volcano Teide experience
.Well worth the experience if you follow the guidelines with dress and appropriate hiking boots.
Très bien organisé depuis le départ de l'hôtel. Le parcours est bien pensé, il n'y a qu'à savourer
Good session. My other half was ill (food poisoning) on the day so we didn’t do much more than the cable car to the top but it looked amazing.
We had Sandra as guide for the activity and she was great ! Would totally recommend her.
Enjoyed it very much
Outstanding trip. Breathtaking views
The tour was wonderful! We were lucky to have blue skies and a great tour guide, Ari whose English was lovely! Mount Teide was incredible and the tour was professional and enabled us to see the highlights of the national park with a passionate guide.
Easy to find pickup location. With a knowledgeable, funny, guide, and comfortable driver
Excellent value for money and extremely enjoyable
my wife bought a t-shirt with the blues bird on it, quality/price raito ok
Nice half day out to the mountains.
Everything was great, very professional
Great day out
verry nice
We had to change the bus with the English/german customer, the bus we changed wasn’t cleaned properly and the guide was very helpful.
........
We had a lovely trip to Teide. The small coach was perfect for the trip and Maria our guide was very knowledgeable, imparting lots of helpful geological information as well as covering some of the background to the myths and legends of the island. Sadly the cable car was cancelled due to high winds, but a refund for this was swiftly processed. For us, this was not a problem at all, as we got to explore more of the interesting sights on the slopes of Teide, with a chance to have a bit of a walk at each of the stops, and a chance to look at interesting flora and fauna. Ironically, the stop at Teide base station was the shortest part of the trip, as we only had just enough time to order and eat lunch from the lovely cafe, and then buy a gift from the shop before getting back on to the coach. The last part of the tour was a bit of a boneshaker, as we descended back down to the coast via a different route, which involved a lot of speed bumps! It meant we got to see a lot more areas away from the motorway, but being last off the coach made for a longer journey with less to see as time went by. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Very interesting trip. Extremely good value for money. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the pick up was from Los Abrigos, put your address into the "comments" and then there is a conformation the day before for a time. The coach was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the driver was kind and considerate. Our first stop was at Vilaflor, lovely place. I'd like to explore that area now. Then up to El Teide, what a place! Actually above the clouds. The formations, colours were amazing. The cable car to the summit was a right treat to the senses. If you get a chance to go, do it. Brilliant day out.
Great trip. Would definitely recommend.
Great trip, nice and detailed information about the island and the volcano-mountain on our way to it. Only thing I would change - having bigger tour logos on the buses as the pick-up location had many buses for different tours and there was nearly always at least 3 different buses at the stop picking people up for different tours..
N/A
.Guide and tour was perfect. Only the 2 hours were not enough to get up with cable car, take one of these pathes (11 or 12) and get down. Time should be at least 2,5 or 3 hours. Thanks a lot!
An amazing trip to Teide volcano and national park!
Highly recommend this trip
TLDR: Take the car if you can. The tour duration is 7h, four of which is spent to pick up people from all over the island and only three is dedicated to the trip itself. Pick up location was far from the hotel we chose on the website. The duration of the stops were very short, barely enough to take pictures / enjoy the views. The time on the mountain itself is very limited, not enough to do anything besides go up and down, which means additional activities that you pay for - museum and cafe come at expense of the mountain time. The guide is limited to bus, no information is provided on the mountain itself, you are left with the mobile app that does not work well. Overall I’d rate the experience as unsatisfactory and would not recommend the guided tour unless you have no rental car. Take the car and go by yourself.
If you have to settle for not reaching the top this trip is good.
Highly recom
The day of the excursion was very windy, so the cable car was out of order. I was told that I would be refunded the amount I paid for the cable car on the same day or the next day, but five days later, I still haven't received anything. Overall, I would say the excursion is a bit pricey, but the guide was very nice and shared interesting facts about the Canary Islands.
What a fantastic day trip! Great value for money. Our amazing guide gave the tour in 3 languages! Very impressive! She was very knowledgeable and interesting with her facts about everywhere we visited. The stops were amazing and trying a local coffee with sweet cream was delicious! Teide was breath taking and the cable car was exciting! Definately recommend the tour to anyone who loves history and natural wonders with a fantastic tour guide and talented bus driver, ***. Thank you all for the memories xx
If you have vertigo or have breathing issues stay away .
Description of the trip
Description
A Mount Teide Tour with cable car that has everything you need
On this organised Mount Teide Tour with cable car return tickets with a digital audio guide of Mount Teide included in your booking free of change, you’ll discover Teide National Park: the most visited national park in Europe. You’ll also be visiting the park in a sustainable way.
From the comfort of our bus and in the company of an official guide, you will discover scenery that will leave you wide-eyed with wonder as you ascend towards the peak. Because Tenerife is an enormous mountain in the middle of the ocean. Its roads climb to reach the heart of the island: Mount Teide. Along the way, you will pass through different bioclimatic levels.
As you leave the coast, made barren by endless sunshine, the proximity of the sea and the lack of rain, you will enter the mid-altitude zone. This contains the finest agricultural land, chosen by the European settlers as the site for Tenerife’s historic towns. A series of towns is strung like a necklace at a mid altitude of between 400 and 500 metres above sea level: Arona, La Orotava, Santiago del Teide… All still conserve a historical legacy worth discovering.
If your Teide excursion with a cable car ticket included takes you up the north side, the likelihood is that from 600 metres above sea level you will be engulfed by dense fog. You will be in the belt below the area of direct impact of the moist trade winds that blow in from the north-east, forming a sea of cloud. Here, laurel woods clothe the scenery in a rich green colour, and you will feel a coolness that will make you reach for your coat. Soon, at an altitude of 1,000 metres, the laurel woods give way to dense, humid pine forests, that extend up to 2,000 metres. But if your ascent takes you up the south side, where the sea of cloud struggles to form, you’ll be in the pine forest from an altitude of 600 metres.
When you reach the high mountain area, you will see the sea of cloud at your feet, and you will feel as if you are flying above it. The flora of Las Cañadas comprises broom, laburnum and a vast array of other plants, most of them endemic to these peaks. Here, the extreme climate, with significant fluctuations between summer and winter, and even between day and night, determines the pattern of life. Scrub clothes the slopes of the Las Cañadas cirque, and those of Mount Teide volcano itself. But as you make your way towards the peak, it gradually disappears... Only the beautiful Teide violet survives at 3,000 metres on the volcano.
And throughout your trip to Mount Teide, you will see the volcanoes that formed Tenerife, some as old as the island itself, and others more recent.
Furthermore, since cable car tickets to go up Mount Teide are already included, you don’t have to worry about missing the chance to book your seat. We have thought of everything so that you can enjoy your Teide Tour without worrying about a thing!
Enjoy spectacular views of Tenerife and some of the neighbouring islands on this excursion to ascend Mount Teide
Our Teide Tour excursion includes tickets for the ascent and descent by cable car and, in addition, the Teide Legend digital audio guide (which features information about the volcano’s 3 open trails) to take you up to an altitude of 3,555 metres so that you can enjoy stunning views of Tenerife and some of the neighbouring islands, whilst at the same time seeing one of the world’s most extraordinary volcanic landscapes. On Las Cañadas, you will see different types of lava and volcanic rock formations, beginning with Mount Teide itself, a stratovolcano of the Vesuvian type.
Mount Teide was formed gradually, as eruption followed eruption. Each eruption added another level to the volcanic edifice. Mount Teide began as a small volcanic cone at the base of Las Cañadas 150,000 years ago, and reached a height of 3,718 metres 1,000 years ago, when its most recent eruptions occurred; these formed the current peak and the streams of black lava that flow down its slopes.
Now Mount Teide is the highest peak in the Atlantic region, the highest peak in Spain, and the third highest volcano on Earth measured from the sea bed, from where it reaches a height of 7,500 metres.
When you reach the cable car upper station, you can choose which views you’d like to enjoy and which audio guide tracks to listen to:
- Admire Siete Cañadas and the Ucanca valley from La Rambleta viewpoint
- Follow the La Fortaleza trail and enjoy spectacular views of northern Tenerife
- Choose the Pico Viejo viewpoint trail and admire views of southern Tenerife with the impressive 800-m-diameter Pico Viejo crater at your feet and, if the weather permits, the islands of La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma on the horizon.

Live the Teide Legend at the Teide “Science and Legend” exhibition!
Mount Teide Tour with Cable Car Tickets includes free admission to the “Science and Legend” exhibition at the Teide Cable Car Visitors’ Centre, which is available in 8 languages thanks to the Teide Legend audio guide included in your tour, free of charge.
You will learn about Mount Teide’s last major eruption (around 1,000 years ago) which the indigenous Guanches probably interpreted as a fight between mythological deities—an explanation far removed from that which science now attributes to volcanic eruptions.
The characters of the legend of Guayota, both gods and humans, will show you their vision of the stages of the eruption that took place back then, and which formed the pylon at the summit of Mount Teide, known locally as “el tapón del Teide” [the Teide cap]. A magical story in which good and evil join in an epic battle.
Along with the legend, you will be shown reliable data to illustrate the scientific interpretation of the eruption. Although the two perspectives may seem diametrically opposed, they are in fact closely connected.
In addition, you can have a great time at our Visitors’ Centre, where you can find brilliant mementoes of your visit to the legend of the Teide National Park at our official souvenir shop. And you can relax and enjoy a culinary experience with panoramic views of the National Park in Spain’s highest restaurant and snack bar, whose badge of identity is the distinctly Canary Island character of its food and drink.
