    Amazing, 100% recommended I can't praise Daniel and his team of professionals both in the office and at sea. We too a trio with a crazy Irish man on his yacht. Food and drink provided. Most important thing was the respect this man had for the dolphin, whales and turtle we say. It was the most amazing thing ever to see these majestic animals in their own environment absolutely amazing. I was like a child. Couldn't recommend these absolutely professionals. 100%.

    After seeing Tenerife first excursions on TikTok, we couldn’t wait to book through them. We met with Kim earlier this week who helped us book Siam park & buggy’s. Kim provided us with lots of information about our excursion and informed us of many more. Kim was a lovely person and will continue to book with TFE when we return. Thank you!

    Good experience and value for money We went to the office in Tenerife and Laura showed us different experiences that Tenerife First Excursion offered. She helped me pick experiences that were age appropriate for my daughter and we got really good prices! Laura was professional and had great knowledge of what she could offer. We visit Tenerife once a year and we will always go back to Laura.

    Amazing Had such a good time when I was over in tenerife last week. This is a must do activity was amazing to see how close you where to the dolphins and whales. Also we where aloud a half hour swimming and the guy that took us out was very nice and would answer all your questions. I recommend using Lisa at Tenerife First Excursion. Good prices and very friendly when I am back I will definitely be booking with her agine for other trips.

    “We’ve absolutely loved it” We booked around 4 excursions through Tenerife first. They was super quick at replying via their WhatsApp and every single excursion went off without a hitch. All times, locations, QR Codes, Bus rides it was all sorted through Tenerife first. The process has been very straight forward and hassle free and when you’re on holiday that’s exactly what you want. We also did a Stargazing small group excursion which was lead by Ben Simington. We done all the main attractions in Tenerife and can honestly say this was the highlight of our Holiday. Ben ensured we was catered for with dietary requirements and his knowledge on astronomy and Tenerife in general is second to none, a fantastic evening/night we even got to see Saturn with its Ring! We also done a dolphin and whale boat trip with Danny, again very informative on the ocean and was a brilliant skipper. We wholeheartedly recommend both Tenerife First, Ben and Danny to anyone who heads to Tenerife and we will for sure be using again in the future! Thank you Tenerife First for adding to our holiday experience! “we’ve absolutely loved it!” ♥️
