    Breathtaking views and overall brilliant experience! The sunset quad tour was by far our favourite thing we did when we were in Tenerife, we booked a double quad - my partner drove and I was the passenger. My partner thoughroughly enjoyed his experience driving the quad and would recommend to other drivers! We decided to do this on our last night in Tenerife and the views throughout blew us away - it was the perfect way to end our holiday!The views are breathtaking and the sunset was beautiful. The guys who run the quad tour are fantastic, they are friendly, funny and all round decent guys! They only add to the experience and make you feel very comfortable. We loved the information they shared with us about mount teide and it's history and the photos that were taken were phenomenal and at only 20 euros for the entire lot how can you complain? Such a bargain! We have already recommended this tour to our family member who is visiting Tenerife in the coming weeks and they cannot wait to book this with them!You also get water and snacks included - I must say the biscuits are very good and when you watch the sunset go down you get complimentary alcohol free champagne , it was such a nice touch!The company also collects you from your hotel or nearby your hotel and drop you off afterwards, it's an all-round very good service and they make you feel safe and secure! I'd also like to say thank you to Lisa at Tenerife First Excursions for sorting this short notice for us! She was very helpful, friendly and kind when we booked with her! Overall, this is a great company to book with and we can't wait to return and try some other excursions.

    15 pilot whales and 4 dolphines Our skipper, Patrick has plenty of sea experience after 25 years fishing in Alaska :-) He knows the habitat very well and navigated us to see dolphins and whales from very close! This is a sailboat, but it runs on an engine. There are comfortable places to sit. You get modern full-face masks for snorkeling. We stopped in a small bay and we saw a lot of fish (they enjoy feeding).Be aware that the waves are high even with moderate wind.

    Amazing week in Tenerife, thanks to Sarah and her team ❤️ We booked all of our trips with Sarah. She was super friendly and felt like a friend. Because we booked quite a few activities we had a lot of money knocked off aswel. LORO PARQUE We did Loro Parque with coach transfer from Los Cristianos. The coach was about an hour and a half. The park itself was amazing. Our main reason for the visit was to see the Orca whales. They didn't disappoint. Beautiful animals. 😍 Note...the park doesn't sell bottles of anything, all drinks are in cans. SIAM PARK NIGHT We queued an hour for the new ride and then rode the lazy river and rapids for an hour. Spent an hour on the beach in the wave machines. Still extremely busy but not hot. Could see some children shivering. We left around 11pm and jumped straight into a taxi. KAYAK TOUR Both instructors were lovely. They take photos and videos and send them for free to your email. It's a long way to paddle to the fish farm but it was totally worth it! We saw turtles and about 15 dolphins swimming past us. Truly amazing. You get to snorkel in a cove which was fun, but the water is very choppy. Definitely take water and suncream. PARASCENDING We loved this! You get taken in a little motor boat to the boat in the ocean. You can't take anything with you for safety but it's all kept in lockers. They take photos which you can purchase for €20 afterwards. 10 minutes flying time and get dipped in the ocean on you way back in. It was so much fun. 15 year old son wanted to do this again! PARAGLIDING Amazing. I had the loveliest guy who talked me through everything. You have to wait at the top of the mountain for a while until the wind is in the right direction. Then you have to run (this was so funny) once you take flight you sit back and relax and take in the view. Again, they take photos and videos of you which you can purchase at the end (€45) The team were lovely and always available by WhatsApp if you have any questions. Thankyou so so much. We had an amazing week in Tenerife. We will book with you next time 🥰
