    Perfect service. Helpful in recommending activities and sorting them out at a great price. Quad Biking up Mount Teide at sunset was an incredible experience and one we wouldn't have done if not for Daniels' recommendation. Fantastic people and service.

    Well worth it. Really enjoyed this trip. First went out to area to watch for whales and dolphins. We were lucky enough to see a few lone pilot whales but the highlight was a mother and calf that came through and surfaced twice. No dolphins but hey, this is mother nature, feel privileged to see what we did. Next off to a bay for a swim and snorkeling. There were fish around the boat but not a coral reef type, not spectacular but interesting. Food while not luxury was good, filling and plentiful. Drinks, soda and alcohol, on demand throughout. The guide was informative, friendly, caring when one youngster got sea sick and slightly eccentric in a good way. One of the highlights was him stood at the rear of the of the boat, arms in the air with a piece of chicken in each hand and all the local gulls swooping in to be feed. Laughed too much to get a photo sorry. Definitely well worth taking this trip.

    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!
