    Fiat 500 Boats and Monkey Park We visited a couple of days ago and was greeted by Lorena who was excellent at finding the best trips. She also gave her number to us incase we needed to contact her regarding any of our excursions, we also got 20% voucher for chillbox and 10% voucher for Banging Burgers since we booked with these guys. We had booked the Fiat 500 Boat ride - 1 hour and it truly a experience that we will not be forgetting any time soon the staff down at the docks where very friendly and talked us all through the steps of how the boat worked and kept in contact if we went out of range. We also paid the extra 20 euros for the professional photos that they took of us We also purchased tickets for the monkey park which is a great affordable trip we got a taxi to the monkey park as we wasn’t staying anywhere near it and the park it’s self was just amazing so many different animals not just monkeys and so many great pictures was taken got straight through to entrance instead of queuing as we had purchased the ticket from Tenerife First Excursions Such a great couple of days of excursions will definitely be back to book more trips in the future.

    Amazing Day. Oh my goodness what an absolutely AMAZING day we had. If you are going to do this trip definitely get the cable car tickets. The views are stunning. Pictures just can't do it justice,its breathtaking. Enrique was a fantastic guide,his knowledge was amazing and the fact that he told all 3 nationalities on board the coach what we were seeing was above and beyond. Deano the driver was superb,thank goodness he had his formula one driving to call upon round those bends. 😁. Can not fault this trip it was everything that Lisa Fay said it would be and more. If you are thinking of booking a trip find Lisa and book through her at Travel First Excursions.

    Really helpful Many hanks to Sarah who helped us with this trip. We needed a calm boat due to recent surgery so she suggested the catamaran. We plumped for the 4.5hr trip and were not disappointed. She also told us how to get there and back and where to get taxis and buses from as we were too late for their transport, but it wasn’t a problem. The trip itself was great. Beautiful scenery, pilot whales, dolphins and flying fish and a chance to swim in the sea.
