    Tenerife First Excursions: exceptionally helpful Kim, from Tenerife First Excursions, recommended this excursion to us, and it exceeded our expectations: the island is beautiful and panoramic views of different parts of La Gomera are just stunning. We enjoyed all activities included, and grateful to the guide Tony for the wonderful experience.

    Self drive boat - 3 hour trip This is definitely worth booking! If we came back again to Tenerife we would definitely go again. The instructions for the boat are very easy to follow and the hosts were lovely people. They also provided a speaker, various swimming equipment (snorkels, flippers and underwater jet etc) as well as snacks, water and a cool box for your own use which we found was a very nice touch! Would definitely recommend buying and taking sea sickness tablets before you go however, as the sea is unpredictable especially in such a small boat. This is obviously no fault of the company and we still had fun none the less! Thank you guys!

    Better than expected So the weather, which of course can't be controlled, had been awful. It was very windy and cold the few days before our trip. The conditions were that bad, we thought the trip was going to be cancelled. Luckily our day dawned sunny with only a light breeze. The sea had a 2 to 3 foot swell but the catamaran handled it well and for the most part, the journey was smooth enough to stand up and move around. The boat was full, I assumed previous trips had been rescheduled. We weren't interested in the sunbeds, it was going to be too cold but had it been warmer we might have considered paying the 30 or so Euros they were asking for. We sat along the side of the boat but there were also seats inside and on an upper deck. The crew were very helpful and the information given out about the trip was very informative. It was given out in all the languages of the passengers on board. We saw Pilot Whales and 2 types of Dolphin. It got a bit rougher when the boat slowed so we could watch them. Soft drinks and some alcoholic drinks were included in the tour price but the ice creams (Cornetto's) were 3 Euros. The lunch was a rice dish, we didn't fancy that because badly stored rice rice is a major source of food poisoning. The bread rolls and bananas were good though. Overall we enjoyed our trip

    Non pushy and experienced. Patricia was fantastic, we asked for a whale watching at short notice and Patricia rang around a few companies putting in the work to find one that was suitable and available for us. Great trip and highly recommend Tenerife 1st.
