    Thanks to Lisafey for booking our trips and the good advice.Really enjoyed the jetski, boat trip and bus tour.The bus tour is a long day and tiring, but worth it to see some beautiful places on the island and to get a better understanding of Tenerife (also glad I wasn't driving on the narrow winding roads up and down the mountains!)

    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)

    A great afternoon out one the boat Weather was excellent, the skipper took us to the dolphins and whales. Unfortunately we only saw whales blowing spouts, We did see dolphins but not fully out of the water. I can't really blame the company for that. Afterwards we moored up and went for a little swim. Basic food and drink was supplied as part of the deal.Thanks for a good afternoon.

    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.
