    Sunset Buggy’s are out of this world We booked before arriving to Tenerife, the cost is so worth it. Myself and my little sister had the most amazing experience and was so easy when booking through the Tenerife excursions and transport from and back to our hotel was included within the price also. The overall experience was so surreal and definitely one to add when visiting Tenerife ☀️ the guys at Tenerife excursions kept in contact and confirmed everything. These guys are definitely your go to people when booking🤍 what an experience we had and by far the best from our holiday!

    Merece la pena Magnífica travesía. Vimos delfines y calderones aunque lo que te tiene que gustar es navegar ya que tres horas dan para mucho. Nos bañamos y el patrón fue muy agradable. 100 % recomendable. Relacion calidad precio buenísima. Volveremos

    Amazing boat trip This was such a lovely boat ride! Patrick was an amazing guide and super pleasant to be around. We saw pilot whales and a few turtles. The boat does go quite slow, so something to keep in mind if you get sea sick easily as it was very bumpy!

    !!!Merece la pena!!! Hemos pasado unas horas magníficas hoy 5/10/21 en esta excursión de avistamiento de ballenas y delfines.!Que gran conducción de Xabi.Nos permitió "sentir" ese balanceo grato y el juego de ver las olas q se hacían más grandes a nuestro paso.Era la sensación perfecta para sentirte en vacaciones.Aunque la excursión durara 3 horas.Todo estaba preparado con calma.Y el con su actitud,su información precisa,entretenida,nos ayudaba más a vivir esta sensación.Capte q el único barco cercano...cuando llegamos a la zona de familias de ballenas...que apagó hasta el motor,fue el nuestro.Eso hizo q al poco se dejaran ver con más frecuencia las ballenas.!Genial!Nos encantó la calma de la excursión.La mayoría del grupo se lanzó al agua...y regresaron con calma para comer lo que nos ofrecían como Tour(oportuno,sencillo y sandwiches sabrosos).Pudimos navegar ratos y a la par sentir que el tiempo pasaba con calma!! Repetiremos con familia q vive en Bélgica a fines de Abril ...y no pudieron esta vez,por la inquietud de erupción Volcan de La Palma.GRACIAS.Ximena y Luis
