    The Valkyrie boat trip we went on was the most fabulous boat trip I have been on.Booked through the fantastic Tenerife First Excursions Kim was an amazing representative guiding us to the best trip to suit our requirements even going above and beyond to accommodate my wife with gluten free pizza because of her intolerance.From the arrival on the boat we were welcomed by the wonderful crew with wine and beers to start our journey. After asking what type of trip we wanted relaxing or lively or active we set off for our beautiful little bay where we swam snorkelled went paddle boarding and well we ate some beautiful pizza and other food it was amazing highly recommended for anyone the most relaxing trip I have ever enjoyed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    If you are contemplating whether to book the sunset quad biking tour, book it! I honestly cannot recommend it enough, the staff are the loveliest people and the entire tour was beyond my wildest dreams.Hassle free and so enjoyable from start to finish, I would book this tour again in a heartbeat!The pick up was so simple, got a phone call saying they were outside and we hopped on in :) drove us up to the base camp where we were fitted with our jackets and helmets and given gloves as well which weren't needed on this trip but very handy to have nevertheless! Driven around the corner and assigned to a quad bike and off we went!!The views on the way up were phenomenal, there are multiple stops along the way to take photos and have a drink if you need to. Daniel was our driver but also our photographer! The photos he took were incredible and you can purchase them at the end for only €20! Considering you get 200-300 photos as well and they were such high quality it was amazing and a really lovely way to end the trip! What you get is worth so much more than what they charge and I quite happily would have payed doubled for the experience we had, it has exceeded every expectation I had!Lee was our guide who explained everything about the volcanoes etc and he was brilliant! Cannot speak highly enough of him, lovely guy and so so knowledgeable. The stops on the way up had all of the photos taken professionally by Daniel and all of the sites explained by Lee. They were both amazing guys who really seem to love the job which honestly makes all the difference as the love for it really rubs off onto everyone else!After the few stops on the way up we had an amazing view of the sunset and mount tiede in the background. You can take the most amazing photos up here and you are given some biscuits and hot chocolate/cava before heading back down again.Honestly 10000000/10 experience, absolutley phenomenal. Book it if you haven't already!!

    Fabulous We had the best afternoon after Ross in the Los Cristianos branch persuaded us to take the 3 hour all inclusive yacht charter to see the whales and dolphins. The skipper was really informative and friendly and made the whole afternoon a great experience! We saw some pilot whales really close to us in the water which was a great bonus! Thanks Ross for recommending this it was well worth it!
