    Thank you Laura! We booked jet skis same-day last minute through WhatsApp with Laura and she managed to get us onto jet skis at 6pm! Miracle worker, and a true pleasure from start to finish. We went with extreme jet skis and couldn’t get over how fast they go! Highly recommend.

    Guter Quadeinsteigerkurs Alles ingesamt erfreulich. Wer noch keine Erfahrungen mit Quads hat, kann sich auf ein gutes Training freuen. Die Quads lassen sich leucht fahren, da sie automatisch schalten .. also einfach fahren. Dennoch unterschätzt die Sache nicht .. vorsichtig fahren .. 2 drei Stellen waren nicht ganz einfach für Anfänger. Lasst Euch nicht von Touristen ärgern, die behaupten, dass die Bikes Mist wären. Kleinere Benzinmotoren können schnell mal absaufen oder andres .. Wenns garnicht geht findet ihr mit den freundlichen Team sicher eine Lösung, dass ihr an einem andren Tag noch mal fahren dürf. Die Leute sind nett und bemüht. Mit nur meckern, wurde noch nie was erreicht.

    Avvistamento cetacei Se ci fossero state più stelline ne avrebbe meritate molte di più.. A partire dall imbarcazione, da Fabrizio che è simpaticissimo e dal capitano! Esperienza assolutamente da fare, avvistamento balene pilota al 100% con loro. APERITIVO AL TRAMONTO SPETTACOLARE, con sosta in una Caletta x un tuffo e rilassarsi. Consigliatissimo

    Booked a couple of trips via WhatsApp with Sarah.
    Absolutely faultless from start to finish, she even sent lovely messages when I was a bit anxious which really helped.
    We did jetskis and parascending the first day then booked a Mount Teide trip on buggies another day. We got a nice discount for using them a second time :)
    Thank you.. we will be back ✈️
