    Thank you Laura! We booked jet skis same-day last minute through WhatsApp with Laura and she managed to get us onto jet skis at 6pm! Miracle worker, and a true pleasure from start to finish. We went with extreme jet skis and couldn’t get over how fast they go! Highly recommend.

    Smooth booking experience with knowledgeable staff! We were enjoying a drink at chill box in PDLA when we saw Tenerife First Excursions next door. Before we went on holiday we knew we wanted to use this company after seeing videos online and all the great feedback they had. We were more determined to use them after we checked into our hotel and the receptionist told us to be aware of a lot of ‘scam’ excursion companies out there. We started speaking to Lorena and she asked if we had any trips planned. We wanted to go to Loro Parque but with it being the other side of the island we weren’t sure how to get there. We looked on our TUI excursions and it said you have to make your own way there and it was ticket price only, so we almost gave it a miss. When we spoke to Lorena she informed me that she could book transfers for us for only €20.50pp. Which is minimal compared to what the taxi fare would of been to go to the other side of the island. I went into the office, booked the excursion all within around 5/10 mins. She printed off all of our tickets and sent a digital version to my phone incase I lost the paper. She then circled on the map where our pick up point was for the transfer and gave me it so we knew exactly where to go. All in all it was just such an easy and smooth experience and will 100% only use Tenerife First Excursions when we go back one day. Loro Parque was amazing as well by the way and definitely worth the 1.5 hour transfer 100000%.

    Top trip! De kapitein deed zijn best om de dolfijnen en walvissen te vinden en deze zo lang mogelijk in zicht te houden. Niet vergeten in te smeren, dat gaat erg snel op het water.

    Unforgettable experience What can I say…… WOW what an experience from start to finish Sarah was amazing 🤩 Easy to book through WhatsApp and payment link with tickets sent instantly! Couldn’t have been made any easier! Even answering the phone to me when I got lost on the pier trying to find the submarine 🫣🤣 The submarine itself is just incredible, the efforts and lengths this business has gone to create truly magical experience for all is one of the best! I’m not sure who enjoyed it more being honest, me or the kids 😂 honestly could not recommend an excursion more. Can’t believe we’ve never done it before!
