Masca canyon + Boat to Los Gigantes

The Masca Canyon is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular hiking activities you can do in Tenerife. It is an activity that begins with a short walk in the traditional hamlet, to then enjoy the descent of the path through the Barranco de Masca ravine, which is about 5 km long.

At the indicated time we will meet at the marina of Los Gigantes from where we will take a shuttle to the hamlet of Masca. Once there we will make the spectacular descent of the Masca canyon to a paradisiacal bay, surrounded by the cliffs of Los Gigantes, about 450 metres high. For safety reasons, swimming is currently not allowed in this area. After a short break, we will take a boat to the Los Gigantes Marina and enjoy the unbeatable views of these cliffs.
