    Wow, what an experience Allan & I had today. Spoke to Sarah about my first dive and she booked our dive with an excellent company. Great instructors, very helpful and gave us lots of confidence. We’ve paid for photos and video, can’t wait to see them. Thank you again Sarah. Highly recommend Tenerife First Excursions. 🐠🐟

    Fantastic After watching Daniel on YouTube we decided that we would book through Tenerife First Excursions and the service and communication was excellent. The tour itself was amazing and the guys really looked after us and were extremely knowledgable about the stars and planets. The photos are included on this trip and there were plenty of wow moments. This is a fantastic trip and we will definitely look at booking another trip through Tenerife First Excursions next time we visit Tenerife.

    Informative and great value A fantastic experience. I was slightly concerned we would be cornered in to buying v expensive drinks and snacks but the cafe we stopped at was very reasonably priced. Drinks started at 1 euro and a slice of delicious cake was 2 euros. The trip was really informative and the stops were well paced. I took my two boys who are 8 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't get bored. We took a picnic and ye that at the longest stop. You do need warm clothes, plenty of layers but it wasn't too cold.

    Excellent experience We did Teide, Icod, Garachico & Masca. Booking agents, tour guide & driver all excellent. Can't recommend this company enough. First class, thank you. We went with them to La Gomera last year - another great tour.
