    I booked a kayaking and snorkelling trip with Mattie for myself and my stepson but the morning of the trip we all came down with covid!
    With such short notice I wasn’t expecting a refund but informed them anyway. The company agreed a full refund and the money was transferred to my bank within days. Service over and above I would say!
    We have booked another holiday in September and will certainly re- book our kayaking trip!

    We booked a 4.5h whale + dolphin watching tour through TFE, and Sue was very helpful with all the details. The tour ended up happening via Freebird catamarans (dunno if directly or using their boats), and I was a little skeptical since there were old reviews of bad experiences, but our trip was very pleasant. We managed to snag one of the first sunbeds (first come basis when you board the boat for 25EUR, very much recommend this), so we got to enjoy a beautiful view of the island and Los Gigantes, and a ride on the waves. The captain said the ride is a bit choppy, but it didnt seem too bad - all our stuff stayed in place, just make sure to put something heavy on your towels if you get up so the wind doesnt blow them away. We were served a nice rice+chicken lunch, and had access to free drinks. The crew entertained us with excellent music selection, and on the way back we managed to watch pilot whales for about 20 minutes, quite close at times (captn said 99% chance of seeing whales when we went in November). Our only "complaint" is that we wish more time was spent with the animals, but I think we just need a different tour for that - this was 90% relaxing, sightseeing, and swimming (which we still thoroughly recommend)

    Super family boat trip We chose this trip on Lindsay’s recommendation and we were not disappointed. From coach collection to drop off was seamless. The catamaran was lovely and the crew were fantastic. We paid for the beds which really enhanced the trip. The sandwich was basic but tasty and the sangria was lovely. We were fascinated with the pilot whales and how close they came to the boat. And the dip in the sea was very refreshing! It was a very enjoyable experience for all the family. Recommend travel tablets.

    Linda the best 💖 We were looking for the best excursions to celebrate my birthday, and that’s when I found Linda honestly, the best decision ever!She guided us so well from start to finish and truly made my day beautiful. We booked a boat tour where we were lucky enough to see whales and dolphins, which was absolutely magical 🐋🐬.The next day, we went on a tour covering the islands of Spain all the way to Masca, and it was breathtaking. Linda even gave us a discount, which we really appreciated.Her customer service is the best — so kind, helpful, and professional. Thank you so much ❤️💖 for making our trips so beautiful and unforgettable!
