The 7 and 9-seat jeeps are ideal for the narrow, winding roads that are continuously uneven. Also, one needs to travel on dirt roads to reach some of the most interesting places on these islands.

Tours in Tenerife
Teide and Masca Jeep tour
The jeep safari to the Teide National Park and the town of Masca is the best option to get to know these two spectacular must-see places in Tenerife.
We’ll make several stops within the National Park to give you different perspectives of Teide, the highest mountain in Spain whose peak is 3,718 meters above sea level. On the tour, we’ll go up to the Cañadas del Teide, up to about 2,200 meters above sea level, very close to the Roques García, monoliths located at the foot of Teide from where you can take in some of the most popular views of the mountain.
But the Cañadas del Teide won’t only impress you because of the mountain views, although you should know that Teide is really a volcano, from this place we’ll also have some magnificent views of the imposing Ucanca Valley, a huge lava-formed desert valley that will make you think of Mars.
After visiting the National Park, the route continues northwest towards the town of Masca. As we get closer to our destination, you’ll realize that the road becomes curvier, narrower and the level difference is greater; these inconveniences are easily overcome by the expert drivers who will transfer you in the SUVs.
Although you can visit and walk through Masca at the route’s last stop, you shouldn’t miss the panoramic view of the town of Masca, crowned by the gigantic Massif de Teno.
Jeep tours to La Gomera
With the jeep safari from Tenerife to La Gomera, discover one of the most beautiful and unknown islands of the Canary Islands.
The tour really starts from the Los Cristianos pier, where the ferry that will take us departs, and in just 45 minutes we’ll be in San Sebastián de la Gomera, the capital of La Gomera.
In the approximately 100 km of the 4×4 tour we’ll do through La Gomera, we’ll discover the most interesting places in the center and east of the island. In addition to adventure and fun, this excursion also offers culture, as well as the idiosyncrasies and agriculture of the island. For example, we’ll visit a banana plantation and witness a silbo gomero demonstration, a language performed through whistles with which the gomeros can communicate from several kilometers away.
During the tour we’ll contemplate the Roques de Agando, Ojila, Marchita and Carmona, huge volcanic domes that measure up to 180 meters in height.
We’ll also have some free time to walk around San Sebastián de la Gomera, the island’s capital, but the great attraction of the tour will be found in the Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the Garajonay we’ll find an impressive laurel forest made up of huge laurels, heather and beeches.
In short, on either of these tours you’ll discover some of the most beautiful and spectacular landscapes of Tenerife, the Canary Islands and Spain.
