    15 pilot whales and 4 dolphines Our skipper, Patrick has plenty of sea experience after 25 years fishing in Alaska :-) He knows the habitat very well and navigated us to see dolphins and whales from very close! This is a sailboat, but it runs on an engine. There are comfortable places to sit. You get modern full-face masks for snorkeling. We stopped in a small bay and we saw a lot of fish (they enjoy feeding).Be aware that the waves are high even with moderate wind.

    After seeing Tenerife first excursions on TikTok, we couldn’t wait to book through them. We met with Kim earlier this week who helped us book Siam park & buggy’s. Kim provided us with lots of information about our excursion and informed us of many more. Kim was a lovely person and will continue to book with TFE when we return. Thank you!

    Best sunset tour I booked this tour with Tenerife first Excursions having read other people's reviews myself. They were not wrong. This tour was exceptional from beginning to end. Hannah sue and Andrea were so helpful with me booking for a large group and I felt totally confident paying online before my trip. The tour itself was just breath taking. I have never seen such a beautiful sunset. Julien and Marco at JLD Quads were such lovely friendly lads with a perfect balance of fun and safety. We felt totally confident on the quads, even on our way back in the dark. They have everything you could think of covered and the photos they did for us during the tour were amazing. They even went to the trouble of having suprise cake and bubbly for me on our return as I had mentioned that I was booking the tour as a 60th Birthday celebration with my adult kids. We all agreed after that it was one of the best family tours we have ever done. 5 stars. 10/10! Also these were one of the few companies offering a tranfer to and from the meeting point which was a major bonus and the tranfer was in a lovely comfortable air conditioned mini bus and pick up was exactly when they said it would be and very easy communication with the lovely driver.

    Great Boat, Great Day and Great Captain. We had a brilliant afternoon as a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 11 and 15. The boat is fab and as they limit the amount of people to 15 or 16, there is loads of room to have your own space. Our trip was full but as you can see from the photo it almost looks empty which to us eas the appeal and therefore don’t mind paying a bit extra. Drinks were free flowing and you could help yourself from the cooler. Lunch was also very tasty. The Captain was great fun, very knowledgeable and made sure we were looked after. I would definitely recommend this trip.
