Mount Teide (pass by)

Tenerife offers one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe because the island was shaped by volcanic activity over millions of years. During the safari, guests can often enjoy spectacular views that combine the Atlantic Ocean with towering volcanic landscapes dominated by Mount Teide.* Massive volcanic cliffs rising directly from the ocean * Black lava rock formations created by ancient eruptions * Clear panoramic views of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peakMount Teide stands at 3,715 meters above sea level and dominates Tenerife’s skyline. Because the mountain rises from the Atlantic Ocean floor, its total height is far greater than what visitors see above sea level. On clear days, Teide creates an incredible backdrop for whale and dolphin sightingsCruise along Tenerife’s spectacular volcanic coastline with breathtaking views of Mount Teide a unique landscape where wild ocean life meets one of the world’s most impressive volcanic islands.”
