Where you stay

Masca tour from the south of Tenerife

Masca is closer to the southern resorts than to the north — about 40 min from Costa Adeje, 1 h 10 from Puerto de la Cruz, 1 h 35 from Santa Cruz — so most Masca tours pick up in the south. More: tours from the south · from the north.

Masca tour FAQ

Short, direct answers. Every answer stays open — collapse them if you like.

Which Masca tour is best?
The Masca, Mount Teide and Los Gigantes Cliffs Tour has the best rating: ★ 5.0 from 475 reviews, 6.5 hours, from €65.34. It starts from a meeting point; for hotel pickup in the south or the north, the Masca, Los Gigantes & Natural Pools tour is from €66.50.
Can you hike the Masca gorge on a tour?
Not on the tours listed here — they stop in the village. The gorge needs its own ticket from caminobarrancodemasca.com (from €40.66), the TITSA 355 shuttle from Santiago del Teide and a boat back bought separately.
Is the Masca gorge open?
On set days only — Wednesday to Saturday, per the official booking page — with descents between 8:30 and 13:00. Places are limited to 25 people every 30 minutes, so book ahead.
How much is a Masca tour?
Well-rated group tours start at €56 for a full day with Teide, Icod and Garachico. Shorter days with Los Gigantes or the west coast are €65.34–€67, private tours from €95.
How long is a Masca tour?
From 5 hours for Masca with Los Gigantes or the west coast, to 9–9.5 hours for a full day that adds Teide, Icod and Garachico.
Can I drive to Masca myself?
Yes, about 40 minutes from Costa Adeje, but the TF-436 is narrow — in places two cars cannot pass — and the car park is often full by early afternoon. A tour takes the hairpins off your hands.
Is there a bus to Masca?
Yes. TITSA line 355 runs Buenavista – Masca – Santiago del Teide, about 55 minutes end to end, with about 11 departures a day from Buenavista.
Can you swim on a Masca tour?
On some. The Masca, Los Gigantes & Natural Pools tour includes swim time in natural pools (tide-dependent), and the Masca, Mount Teide & Los Gigantes tour has an optional swim if conditions allow. Bring swimwear and a towel.
