    À faire absolument !! Superbe équipage et bonne ambiance sur le catamaran. Des sandwichs sont distribués au début de l’excursion et il y a un bar. On a pu observer effectivement quelques petites baleines, dont une avec son bébé c’était incroyable. Le cata s’arrête une grosse demi-heure à flan de falaise pour ceux qui veulent se baigner.

    Jetski experience - an hour we'll remember for a long time! More memories made after a wonderful hour out on the water. Trip sorted by Kim at Tenerife First Excursions, who was great. Ski company reassured my nervous teen daughter today and she was absolutely buzzing after the experience, which helped tackle her concerns over being in open water too, as we jumped off half way through for a lovely swim. Took out 3 singles and were joined by a lovely couple on a double jetski. They fell off twice but they clambered back on and had a brilliant time. My son left me behind as I hung on for my life and feared I'd fall off. I got better as time went on but even my daughter had caught me up in the end and was turning with confidence. I worried about the experience but need not have done as we were put at ease and the session felt safe and well away from others on the water.

    We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim! I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday! It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us! We booked loads of different trips! 3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s! Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it! 10/10 service and friendliness

    Fantastic Fantastic time. Dave was a legend. It was my first time kayaking and he made me feel safe. The whole team looked after us well.We managed to see dolphins; including a baby! Leaping out of the water right in front of us.
