    10/10 My friend used Tenerife first excursions and they were so efficient, giving the best advice on what to do for whatever we booked. We booked a few things through, she used WhatsApp and Daniel was so quick to reply to any queries she had. we decided last minute to go Siam Park and he got us VIP tickets for the next day when Siam website didn’t have tickets available for 8 days. We wanted to book a boat and it was booked within minutes through them. Anything we wanted to do we booked through them. They made the whole process so simple and easy, highly recommend!

    Great service These guys really looked after us while we were in Tenerife. We booked a boat trip with them plus Siam park. The boat trip was fantastic and the whole family really enjoyed it. Unfortunately one of our children fell really unwell so we wasn’t able to make Siam park but these guys sorted it all out for us. Amazing service and we would use anyone else. Thank you all for the experience and help.

    Amazing, fun and exciting experience Absolutely amazing experience, it was kind of scary at the start but unbelievable when we got the hang of it, I 100% recommend this jet ski experience! Staff were friendly and nice, they also take professional photos of everyone on their jetski that you can buy once you're finished which is cool! I'd definitely go again!
