    Full day guided tour of La Palma visiting the erupting volcano What a great day out. First thoughts was that it was a bit morbid viewing peoples misery when they have lost their homes . But in doing this tour, I feel we were able to assist the local economy which is being affected by the reduction in numbers of tourist due to the volcano eruption. The ship sailed promptly at 08:30 from los Christianos arriving at 10:15 at Santa Cruz. Stopped off at 2 great view points on the journey across the island heading to Tazacorte where we had a three course meal. The coach guide was very knowledgeable and pointing out things of interest. Eventually we arrived at the viewing point overlooking the volcano and lava streams. What a levelling experience, sadly seeing houses half covered in lava. Then off back to Santa Cruz for the ferry back to los Christianos arriving back at 19:15. This was a really enjoyable day out. We booked through Tenerife First excursions after seeing positive reviews. It was easy enough to do online. We were in touch with Kim who made everything feel no trouble at all. I would definitely use Tenerife first excursions again👍👍. They are very professional and know there stuff, thanks for your help Kim.

    I booked two trips with first excursions tenerife. A boat trip to see whales and dolphins and kayaking to see dolphins and turtles both trip where fantastic well organised and excellently ran events. Daniel is friendly, professional and very honest. He pointed out that seeing the wildlife was not a guarantee. Thankfully he was wrong, both trips delivered on the dolphins, whales and turtles. I can't recommend Frist Excursions Tenerife and his advice and trips highly enough. 10/10 to Daniel and his team.

    I could not recommend these guys enough ✨ We did this on one of our last days just to spread all our excursions out! It was absolutely amazing! The tour guides were so lovely and made sure we were safe but enjoying it at the same time. The views were breath taking! I would recommend to anyone going to Tenerife! We also had 3 other excursions booked (self hire boat, sun set tour and clear kayaking) with the team and they were all amazing! Dan booked us in for them all and he was so lovely! Made sure they were all worth our while! We had one excursion cancelled due to the weather and the team were amazing made sure we had our money back straight away and offered other excursions! The whole team are so helpful and active on socials if you needed to contact them. I can not recommend Tenerife first excursion enough! (Especially Dan in Los Cristos) Thank you so much we will definitely be using you guys again on our next trip to Tenerife ✨

    Book this trip! This trip was great value for money, with beer and a sandwich included. We saw wales, unfortunately no dolphins but we came across a hammerhead shark. We also stopped to swim in a bay… 100% worth the money, if in doubt book the trip!
