    Birthday Trip We took a walk along the beach one morning and happened to pass by your shop, where we were greeted by the charming young man, Daniel. We mentioned that we were interested in a boat trip to see whales and dolphins, as it was my husband's 60th birthday, and he recommended the 'Freebird' boat trip. He offered us the option of a 4.5-hour trip, but we chose the shorter 3-hour one, which was perfect for us. The trip was fantastic – it included a meal, a swim stop, and, most importantly, we did see whales!We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely recommend your company, especially Daniel, who was so helpful. We also met his partner, who was working as the receptionist at the hotel where we stayed – she was lovely as well. Thank you for making our day so special!"

    Amazing The yacht trip was amazing and totally worth it. Patrick was so friendly from the start and very knowledgable on the dolphins and whales. Patrick provided us with drinks (soft and alcoholic) throughout the trip, as well as preparing lunch. Given the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim at one of the local beaches. Overall very luxurious experience for an amazing price - would definitely recommend

    Fantastic friendly and informative service We came across Matty and Ross at the booking kiosk on our first day, they were full of information on places we could visit during our holiday.Pointing us in the right direction of which water park to visit for the ages of our children, we opted for 2 park ticket for Aqualand & Jungle Park.We Also went on Peter Pan Whale watching tour, we were originally thinking to do this in the afternoon but Ross said you were most Likey to see whales on the earlier tour so we took his advice and went at 10am….so glad we did! What an amazing experience! Thanks lads for your help…we will book again soon!

    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!
