Masca Ravine: Guided Descent + Boat Ride + Transfer

About this experience

Masca Ravine: Guided Descent + Boat Ride + Transfer Tickets Experience one of Tenerife's most spectacular adventures with this guided descent through Masca Ravine, complete with a boat ride beneath the towering Los Gigantes cliffs. This challenging 6-hour expedition takes you through 5 kilometres of dramatic volcanic gorge, from the mountain village of Masca down to a secluded cove at sea level. The adventure begins at Santiago del Teide, where you'll receive safety equipment and a detailed briefing from your expert guide. The descent through the ravine reveals Tenerife's raw geological beauty, with vertical basalt walls rising hundreds of metres above the canyon floor. Your guide shares insights into the volcanic formations and unique flora that thrive in this rugged environment. The trek concludes at a hidden cove where you'll board a boat for a scenic cruise along the dramatic coastline, offering a completely different perspective of the cliffs you've just descended.
