    The highlight of our holiday Absolutely amazing experience! We stumbled upon one of the Tenerife First Excursions sales booth on our way back to the hotel one evening, a bit drunk and up for some adventure. We were greeted by the wonderful Lisa Fay and she recommended the Opera 60 experience. Due to before said drunkenness we did not make the booking at that point but she gave us a direct contact number. Few days later I called her and she immediately made all the arrangements for us and was so helpful! The cruise was amazing, lovely staff, nice food and drinks and just an overall brilliant experience. Great value for money, easy to recommend! :)

    Whale watching in Tenerife Really relaxing and enjoyable trip. Thomas was excellent as our guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and great with all the kids (and adults) on board.And to top it all we saw pods of spotted and bottlenose dolphins as well as a family of short-finned pilot whales.

    Perfect Today, we had the chance for a private boat trip with Captain Xiba on the Galatea yacht. Shortly after departure from the Harbour, we could watch a pilot whale Familie. The further we moved out to sea, the closer the whales came to the sailing boat. The best was the fact that we were alone and no other noisy boats were around. We highly recommend this boat trip with Xiba and owner Patrick. Both of them are very friendly and competent. Thank you especially for letting a Swiss sailor take the steering wheel for a while :-) Michèle, Emilia and Christian

    Must do excursion A must do excursion! The rep we booked it through at Tenerife first excursions was really helpful and informative. Not pushy at all! The boat trip was so good! The captain was also super friendly and made everyone feel very welcome and at home and shared lots of facts about the dolphins/ whales and the sea. Very interesting. The sunset was also beautiful! So happy we chose to do this tour! It made our holiday!

    Perfect trip An amazing excursion. Such good value, fantastic communication from the booking agent, very clear. The captain Patrick was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip very special. He arranged certificates for my boys and let them steer the boat. We saw lots of whales and they came very close to the boat of their own choice. The lunch stop was great and the snorkeling was fab.
