    SUNSET View and sunset was amazing! Nice and smooth quad bike drive up the mountain with multiple stops to talk about the mountain and the history of eruptions. Photographer took 500+ photos of everyone for all to download. Was the best experience of my life. If you get the chance do it!

    Echt een aanrader. Een prachtige ervaring. Het duurt drie uur, eerst gingen we de zee in en zagen al meteen een paar dolfijnen die met ons mee zwommen. Daarna de walvissen gezien. Wel op afstand, want die lagen te slapen. Helaas konden we de schildpad die in een net verwikkeld was niet redden. De bemanning had wel zijn best gedaan. Een pluim voor deze geweldige jongens.

    We did the sunset quad bikes last night, what an experience. It was so exhilarating to self drive the quad bikes up the mountain. It really immersed you into the environment. The guys running it were great, really looked after everyone and put safety first. It’s the third excursion we’ve booked with first excursions ( via Kim) and they have been brilliant, we always feel safe and secure booking with them. We met Daniel and he was a great guy, clearly cares about his company and customers. Cannot recommend this company enough, Kim you are a star 🌟! Thank you so much again for another excellent experience!

    Booked my first excursion with Tenerife First Excursions and would 100% reccomend them to anyone. The booking process was simple from start to finish, communication was excellent even when last minute changes were needed. I booked online but had communication via WhatsApp. I have always used other booking agents but I will 100% use them next time I am in Tenerife. 🫶🩷 It 100% is blue skys palm trees and everything else in between and I absolutely love it. ❤️
