“Wow- what a wonderful day we had with Alex! This was the last day of our holiday and I wanted to see Anaga which I had heard a lot about. Absolutely beautiful scenery and a very enjoyable hike with some lovely people and the very charismatic Alex as our guide. Alex is very knowledgeable and passionate about the region and it was an absolute pleasure to spend time in his company.

2.Hike Above Masca in Enchanted Forest with Pick-up

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 294 reviews · 5 hours · from $104

This five-hour guided hike takes you 8 kilometers above Masca through pine forest, volcanic scenery, and mossy laurel woodland. Guides including Massimo, Elena, and Alex lead small groups of up to eight, with South Tenerife pickup, a light picnic, poles, jackets on request, and 20 to 30 digital photos.

“The trip was extremely well organised with great communication before hand. Massimo collected us at the pick up point on time and was an excellent guide thoughout. He was very friendly and knowlegable, pointing out lots of interesting plants and fungi along the way. He showed consideration for everyone in our fairly large group and even carried all our snacks and some extra clothing (as it was very cold on the hike today). We had a wonderful adventure exploring the hills and forest above Masca. The views of Mount Teide and surrounding area were amazing. I would highly recomend this trip and the company for guided hikes in Tenerife”
