West Tenerife Private Tour, Quick Facts
West Tenerife Private Tour, Masca, Garachico & Icod
See the rugged, real west of Tenerife your way, no big bus and no crowds. This private tour takes you to Masca village, perched 680 metres above the Atlantic, the lava-rebuilt town of Garachico with its natural pools, and the thousand-year-old dragon tree of Icod de los Vinos. You travel in your own vehicle with a personal guide, at your own pace, and pickup from the south of Tenerife is included. Two options: a 6-hour west-coast day, or an 8-hour day that also takes in Teide National Park.
Your guide, your vehicle, your day. Hotel desks sell the same idea on a 50-seat bus. We do it privately, for your group only.
Tenerife's Wild West, Privately
Most visitors only see the busy south, and miss the dramatic west entirely. This private tour fixes that, with no packed bus and no rushed stops. You travel with your own guide, stopping where you like, at your own pace, in your own language. It is calm, personal and flexible, ideal for couples, families or small groups who want a real Tenerife day.
Masca Village, 680 Metres Above The Atlantic
Masca is one of those places that stops you in your tracks. Tucked inside the Teno Rural Park, this tiny village is surrounded by dramatic ravines and cliffs that drop straight into the ocean. You have time to explore at your own pace, walk the cobbled paths, take photos from the famous viewpoint, and sit with a coffee under a centuries-old ficus tree by the church. Not many groups get here this calmly. You will.
Garachico, A Town That Rose From The Ashes
Garachico has one of the great comeback stories in Tenerife. After the 1706 volcanic eruption buried most of the town under lava, it was rebuilt, and today it is one of the loveliest historic towns on the island. Walk past the San Miguel castle and the Santa Ana church, take photos at the Tensei Tenmoku monument, and cool off at the famous El Caletón natural pools carved into the old lava. And yes, grab some artisan ice cream, your guide knows exactly where to go.

West Tenerife Private Tour, Frequently Asked Questions
The questions people ask most about the private west Tenerife tour, from the two options to the cable car. Still unsure? Message our local team on WhatsApp, we help fast.
How much is a private West Tenerife (Masca) tour?
The price is per group, not per person. The 6-hour west-coast tour is 415€ for 1 to 3 people, 470€ for 4 to 6, and 485€ for 7 to 8. The longer 8-hour tour that also includes Teide is 475€, 575€ and 605€ for the same group sizes. That covers your private vehicle, fuel and driver-guide, with free pickup from the south of Tenerife. You reserve with a deposit and pay the rest on the day.
What do you see on the West Tenerife private tour?
You visit Masca village, perched 680 metres above the Atlantic, the lava-rebuilt town of Garachico with its natural pools, and the thousand-year-old dragon tree of Icod de los Vinos, with a scenic drive back through the Erjos laurel forest. The 8-hour option also adds Teide National Park, the Chirche viewpoint and Vilaflor. Because it is private, your guide adapts the route and the timing to your group.
What is the difference between the 6-hour and 8-hour tour?
The 6-hour tour focuses on the west coast: Masca, Garachico and Icod de los Vinos, at a relaxed pace. The 8-hour tour keeps Masca and Garachico but adds Teide National Park, the Chirche viewpoint and Vilaflor, so you also see the volcano in the same day. Choose the 6-hour if you want a calm west-coast day, or the 8-hour if you want the west plus Teide together.
Where does the private Masca tour start from?
Pickup from anywhere in the south of Tenerife is included, so most guests are collected straight from their hotel. Pickup from further areas costs extra: Los Gigantes +40€ and Puerto de la Cruz from +60€ on arrival, depending on group size. Just give your hotel name, or your street name for private accommodation, when you book.
Is the Teide cable car included?
The cable car is not included, and it is only available on the 8-hour tour that visits Teide. If you want it, you must request it in advance so we can arrange the timing, and the ticket is paid separately at your own cost. On busy or windy days the cable car can close, so we always confirm before your trip.
Is the private tour good for families and couples?
Yes. Because it is fully private, it suits families, couples and small groups who want a relaxed, personal day rather than a packed coach. You can stop whenever you like for photos, food or a toilet break, travel in your own language, and go at your own pace. Children are welcome, and your guide adapts the day to your group.
