    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

    Thank you! My partner and I went to Tenerife without doing much research on what to do beforehand. We were super lucky to meet Patricia who was super helpful showing us the different excursions available and going over everything in great detail. We ended up booking a boat excursion and had the best time. Thank you for the stellar customer service!

    Great service These guys really looked after us while we were in Tenerife. We booked a boat trip with them plus Siam park. The boat trip was fantastic and the whole family really enjoyed it. Unfortunately one of our children fell really unwell so we wasn’t able to make Siam park but these guys sorted it all out for us. Amazing service and we would use anyone else. Thank you all for the experience and help.

    Sunset Buggy’s are out of this world We booked before arriving to Tenerife, the cost is so worth it. Myself and my little sister had the most amazing experience and was so easy when booking through the Tenerife excursions and transport from and back to our hotel was included within the price also. The overall experience was so surreal and definitely one to add when visiting Tenerife ☀️ the guys at Tenerife excursions kept in contact and confirmed everything. These guys are definitely your go to people when booking🤍 what an experience we had and by far the best from our holiday!
