    Well worth it. Really enjoyed this trip. First went out to area to watch for whales and dolphins. We were lucky enough to see a few lone pilot whales but the highlight was a mother and calf that came through and surfaced twice. No dolphins but hey, this is mother nature, feel privileged to see what we did. Next off to a bay for a swim and snorkeling. There were fish around the boat but not a coral reef type, not spectacular but interesting. Food while not luxury was good, filling and plentiful. Drinks, soda and alcohol, on demand throughout. The guide was informative, friendly, caring when one youngster got sea sick and slightly eccentric in a good way. One of the highlights was him stood at the rear of the of the boat, arms in the air with a piece of chicken in each hand and all the local gulls swooping in to be feed. Laughed too much to get a photo sorry. Definitely well worth taking this trip.

    Richie the gem First of all I would like to clarify that I have never met such a kind gentleman ever, we had explained that one our kids is on the autism spectrum and Richie could not have gone above and beyond more to help us choose our tours, he had constantly kept in touch throughout our holiday via WhatsApp to see if we were all ok and that everything had gone smoothly, one morning we had a hic up and I had to call Richie via WhatsApp and even tho it was his day off he done everything to sort it out, this happened more than just once by the way, I cannot thank him enough for making us feel at ease and helping us with everything. Your a true gentleman Richie and there should be more people in the world like you 😊 when we come back hopefully we get to deal with you again😊 Thank you for everything Irish tracey & Portuguese Monica ☺️💙

    Whale and dolphin watching trip Had a brilliant trip out today. It was only a boat for 12 which was perfect. Time for swimming, food and then up popped lots of minke whales, dolphins a totally magical experience. The skipper was very respectful of the wildlife and kept the boat at a distance, allowing them to come closer if they chose to, which they did. Music was switched off when they all were around us. Loved it would highly recommend this trip and I don’t normally do reviews

    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!

    Tenerife First Excursions we will be back!! It was always our plan to purchase from Tenerife First Excursions after watching The Craicmaster since he very first started on YouTube. We popped down to Los Cris and we’re seen to by the lovely Sarah who done us a fab deal on 2 excursions. We left a deposit and came back today to pay the rest and to our surprise, look who we bumped into. The big man himself and not forgetting lovely Matty, safe to say this made our day and what a lovely genuine guy he is and all the staff are fab. We had a great chat and banter with everyone. Thank you everyone, it was great to meet you all!!! I would definitely recommend taking the yacht tried, not overcrowded and staff on board were amazing ..

    Helpful and professional advice Interaction with Andreea from the get go was flawless and really helpful, guiding us through the options and explaining which one would be our best choice, until we finalized and choose one of our best trips. We definitely would recommend having Andreea as a guide for the reason of being able to make the right choices.
