Volcano Days · VOLCANO HIKES AND TREKS IN TENERIFE
Good volcano hikes and treks in Tenerife fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride the cable car to La Rambleta, then follow your guide up Trail 10 toward Spain’s highest point at 3,718 meters. Guides such as Miriam, Benjamin, Maria, and Dario explain Teide’s geology and help you manage the steep, thin-air climb. North Tenerife pickup is available.
“Great experience, good communication, really awesome time and great guide! 100% recommendation!!”
Travel from south Tenerife in a small group of 2 to 10, ride the cable car from 2,350 to 3,550 meters, then hike the final 170 meters to Teide’s crater. Guides such as Steffi add clear advice on altitude, geology, and pacing. The summit permit, cable car, transport, and insurance are included.
“The trip was really fun and our guide was excellent at explaining everything to us. A very enjoyable day thank you”
Elena and the 10X team lead a small group up Mount Teide by headlamp, starting around midnight for a 6 to 6.5-hour, 10-kilometer ascent. Reach Spain’s highest point at 3,718 meters for sunrise and the volcano’s huge Atlantic shadow, with poles, snacks, hot tea, and permits provided.
“I would like to sincerely thank the organizers for such a magnificent trip. Everything was well organized - including the night hike, watching the sunrise at 3.200 m, and the smooth coordination of our team of seven. The guide made regular stops and shared interesting stories about the places we passed through. It was a good morning physical challenge and a wonderful opportunity to see the entire island from above, as well as a few neighboring islands in the morning light. An unforgettable moment indeed!-)”
Join Peter or Evelyn for a small-group climb to Teide Peak at 3715 meters. Your timed permit, guide, trekking poles, headlamp, boots, and warm clothing are covered. The cable car makes the summit walk manageable, while the 10-kilometer descent is a serious option for fit hikers.
“Unsere Gruppe bestand aus gerade einmal drei Personen, sowie dem Guide Peter. Alles war gut organisiert, Peter glänzte mit seiner ruhigen Art, viel Fachwissen und die Tour war zu jeder Zeit unterhaltsam. Alles in allem, Top!”
Join Almos or another English-speaking guide for a demanding 10 km ascent of Mount Teide to 3,715 meters. Walk beneath the stars if starting before sunrise, use supplied poles and headlamp, and descend by cable car when wind and weather permit. The group is limited to six.
“Senza dubbio l'alba più incredibile della mia vita, durante la nottata abbiamo camminato sotto una stellata mai vista prima. L'escursione è sicuramente impegnativa ma Almos è molto bravo a tenere il giusto passo per tutti e fare tutte le soste necessarie per non soffrire l'altitudine (si arriva sopra i 3700 metri). Esperienza davvero assolutamente immancabile se si è a Tenerife!”
Join Natura Xtreme Tenerife for a private, four-hour ascent of Mount Teide’s 3,715.98-meter summit. Your guide handles the official permit, leads the steep high-altitude walk from La Rambleta, and shares stories about Teide, Tenerife, plants, and wildlife. Cable-car tickets cost extra.
“Beim ersten Termin war die Fahrten mit der Seilbahn aufgrund zu starken Windes eingestellt. Leider wurden wir erst 15 Minuten vor unserem Treffpunkt informiert und waren schon oben. Dort machten wir einen neuen Termin aus. Zum neuen, abgesprochenen Termin kam der Guide erst sehr spät, was uns einige nerven kostet. Anschließend verlief alles problemlos. Danke dafür.”
