Top Tenerife Day Trips

fantastic from start to finish! loved being able to see and experience so much of the national park and the your guide’s perspective and knowledge was very impressive! the first stop at the little coffee shop in the mountains was so cute and a phenomenal view. i appreciated how many times we actually got off the bus to be able to actually take in the views face to face, rather than just through a window. dinner was exceptional, being that they offered a lot of food and wine (our table didn’t even finish the bottles lol), and complimentary beer when you first walk in :). the stargazing was like no other, with and without the telescope. to the naked eye, because the sky was so clear, the amount of stars one could see was insane. seeing it then up close and through a telescope was breathtaking. getting a view of the moon through the telescope was even more special :’), so do make sure to book when the moon is in a visible phase! the drop offs at the end of the tour did take a little more time than expected, but the entire experience was not defined or impacted by that at all.

This was a wonderful way to see La Gomera. The group today was only small (4 of us + guide), the transport was very comfortable & our guide Basso was excellent. Basso was very knowledgeable as to how the island & its stunning scenery were formed. The different levels of ecological environments were well explained & how the people of La Gomera are endeavouring to maintain it. Lunch wasn’t provided but a stop at a small restaurant in the National Park was on the itinerary. Prices were not expensive & the food was good. You could try some local dishes if you were adventurous. The itinerary was varied & comfort stops had been planned in. The weather was fantastic - clear blue skies so you could see El Hierro, La Palma & Teide on Tenerife clearly. Basso was a little disappointed with it as with it being so good as we couldn’t really see why the environments had developed as they have. We thoroughly enjoyed our snapshot of La Gomera.

Tenerife was new to us and whilst we had the luxury of a half board hotel we wanted to explore! I’ve used Viator so many times on my different holidays and this one did not disappoint. The hill climbs and descend in the coach was hair raising but the tour was fabulous and we learnt so much from our tour guide Maria! A fantastic day!

A brilliant, informative, picturesque day out. Philip, our tour guide, was excellent. He seemlessly switched between English and Dutch throughout the trip and was so informative we learnt a lot about the national park and Tenerife. Plenty of picture opportunities and an hour to explore some of the national park. Would definitely recommend

We had a fantastic Tenerife day tour with Eugene! He gave us an amazing tour of the island and shared so much great information along the way. Masca was absolutely stunning, the Northern Coast views were breathtaking, and the drive up to Teide was unforgettable. A great experience from start to finish — highly recommend!

This tour is fantastic! Definitely a “must do” when in Tenerife. All of the staff is so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the experience. Our guide Craig provided a lot of great information on our way up the mountain and explained the format for the evening. The meal provided is good, with plenty of wine included. But definitely the sky is the “star” of the show! Thank you Night Smies Tours, for an unforgettable experience.

Had good communication beforehand from our driver/guide Angel, and met him as instructed at clock tower near the cruise terminal. This was a small group of 8 in a large van (6 from same cruise ship). Angel was friendly, funny, chatty and very informative. We went to Mt. Teide first, a wise move to beat the crowds. Just know it's about a 45-min drive up a very curvy but smooth mountain road through the clouds then above clouds and tree line for blue sky views and amazing changes in terrain! Made a few stops at amazing overlooks then 1 hour at the park's coffee shop and museum area. Next another 45-min drive down the mountain by a different route, first to former capital and charming historic town of LaOrotava. We had 45 min free time there, then on to another historic town, LaLagunda near Santa Cruz, for 1 hour of free time. Driver was kind enough to drop us off at cruise shuttle bus to avoid a long walk with heavy packages. Total time 6.5 hr. It was an enjoyable day and great way to see some of the north, south, and central parts of this beautiful island. Note--water and lunch are not included but can be purchased at any of the stops.

Great way to experience the drive to Mt. Teide in the Cabrio bus . If you want to do the cable car ride make sure you book that as an extra . Our guide Juan was excellent and made the trip fun and answered any other questions we had . Our driver Manuel skilfully negotiated the narrow winding roads which can be busy with traffic , especially tourists in hire cars ! Would definitely recommend this tour , such beautiful scenery and fantastic views from the bus .
