MASCA GORGE Trail: Guided Hike

11.MASCA GORGE Trail: Guided Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 121 reviews · 7 hours · from $175

Join a small group of up to 15 for a guided 3.5-hour descent through Tenerife’s Masca Gorge. Guides such as Marie explain the plants, geology, and village traditions while handling permits, buses, helmets, and the water taxi. Finish with a 15-minute boat ride beneath the cliffs of Los Gigantes.

“Marie was an exceptional guide, always explaining things and communicating clearly. I’ve learned a lot about the plant life and geological phenomena in Masca gorge on this trip. Marie didn’t hurry anyone, but was setting a good pace, since there were other people scheduled after our own group. Accordingly, we didn’t see many people on the hike, which added to the atmosphere. Lots of time for taking pictures. Since it is now mandatory to use public busses, you’re dependent on them arriving on time, but that’s no fault of the agency. We’ve seen an amazing natural scenery and it was well worth our time.”
