    Informative and great value A fantastic experience. I was slightly concerned we would be cornered in to buying v expensive drinks and snacks but the cafe we stopped at was very reasonably priced. Drinks started at 1 euro and a slice of delicious cake was 2 euros. The trip was really informative and the stops were well paced. I took my two boys who are 8 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't get bored. We took a picnic and ye that at the longest stop. You do need warm clothes, plenty of layers but it wasn't too cold.

    Best experience Cannot recommend this company enough! We were offered great promotions and discounts at the time of booking. We booked a number of activities with Lisa who made sure we had an amazing time in Tenerife. Her activity recommendations have made our trip the best experience so far. I can truly say that the staff are really there for their customers even outside of business hours. We unfortunately lost our tickets for one of the activities and realized it only last minute, Lisa has went above and beyond to get us our tickets outside of business hours and on her day off!! Not many other companies or staff would give such an outstanding service. Would highly recommend booking your activities with Lisa, shes really helpful and really cares for her customers.

    Amazing What an amazing few hours. Many thanks to our skipper Guy, who made it a fantastic experience.His passion for the sea and its wildlife is extraordinary.We were lucky to see some dolphins and whales, but the trip was so much more than that.Our group has been on the much larger boat tours, but we won’t be doing that again, the smaller boat was so much nicer.The weather meant that Guy was able to cut the engines and sail for a while.100% recommend this trip.Many thanks.
