    This is the best excursion shop in Tenerife. Outstanding customer service and the most helpful staff you can ask for.
    Polish guy Macek was very informative, suggested the best jet-ski in the island which was spot on and gave us amazing price for the catamaran to see dolphins. Thank you guys, you have made our holidays here.
    If you are in Tenerife, head only to Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your holidays perfect.

    Try Dive booked by Matt. TFE. We booked a ‘Try Dive’ with Tenerife First Excursions in Los Christianos. Matt was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Also a great help with a follow up query. I would recommend TFE to anyone looking for great activities.

    A lot of excursion reps are a bit annoying and just want their commission but not Matt at Tenerife First Excursions, he took the time to just talk to us of course he did tell us about the excursions we enquired about but on the whole we chatted and this made us go back the next day and book with him
    He was so helpful and a thoroughly a good guy, go see him

    Whale of a time I am writing this review on behalf of our granddaughter and her friend. We paid for this boat trip for her birthday. We brought the trip though tenerife first excursions a lovely helpful lady called Lisa Fay. We booked the trip on our last visit. Also booked a jet ski and Siam park .which my granddaughter will do on our next visit in 3 weeks time.
    The boat trip was amazing only 15 people on board. The guys who ran it were lovely and look after all the people on the boat. Carva,
    beer,juice and water plus chicken legs, Canarian potatoes ,bread, rice and more all included. They also saw a family of whales and the seagulls following the boat being fed by the crew. They stopped for a swim by a beach, and snorkels were provided if you wished to use them. All in all for the price a fabulous 3 hours.
