    Best excursion place We always use these for all our excursions they’re brilliant used them the past two years now, mark and Dan at the los Cristianos shop are both amazing and helpful they always help us find the best things to do while over there, both friendly and always up for a chat too, we’ve booked jet skis, volcano buggy tour, paragliding, loro park, kayaks, quad volcano tour and loved every single one, we’ve also rented the e scooters which are cheaper than the ones you can use from around the island that are usually park and go, always give us a nice little deal if you book multiple trips at the same time too which is good, definitely recommend using this company for all your activities, hopefully see you next year guys too book more

    We recently went on a dolphin watching boat trip arranged by this company. It was an amazing experience! Although we had initially booked a boat with a glass bottom, unfortunately it was not available on the day we went. However, Kim was extremely helpful and accommodating, and she made sure we still had a great time. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Despite the boat being smaller than we had anticipated, there were only a few people on board besides us, which made it feel more exclusive and personalized. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. Although the food was a bit plain, it was a minor issue compared to the wonderful experience we had watching the dolphins. The crew also shared some interesting facts about the local marine life and ecosystem, which added to the overall educational value of the trip. I highly recommend this dolphin watching tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience, and I especially want to thank Kim from the agency for her exceptional service. The crew was great, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Thank you to the team for arranging this fantastic experience!

    Amazing experience. Great staff and sight is wondeful Amazing experience! Patrick’s boat Galatea took us about 4 miles off the coast with various stops to enjoy the sight of dolphins, local whales, and (if you’re luck as we were) migrating whales as well. The captain was great and provided us with sandwiches, chips and drinks to have during the 40 mins break in Playa Diego Hernandez, in which you can swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water. Very recommended.
