    Booked a couple of trips via WhatsApp with Sarah.
    Absolutely faultless from start to finish, she even sent lovely messages when I was a bit anxious which really helped.
    We did jetskis and parascending the first day then booked a Mount Teide trip on buggies another day. We got a nice discount for using them a second time :)
    Thank you.. we will be back ✈️

    Whale of a time I am writing this review on behalf of our granddaughter and her friend. We paid for this boat trip for her birthday. We brought the trip though tenerife first excursions a lovely helpful lady called Lisa Fay. We booked the trip on our last visit. Also booked a jet ski and Siam park .which my granddaughter will do on our next visit in 3 weeks time.
    The boat trip was amazing only 15 people on board. The guys who ran it were lovely and look after all the people on the boat. Carva,
    beer,juice and water plus chicken legs, Canarian potatoes ,bread, rice and more all included. They also saw a family of whales and the seagulls following the boat being fed by the crew. They stopped for a swim by a beach, and snorkels were provided if you wished to use them. All in all for the price a fabulous 3 hours.
