    The best excursions Linda from the Costa Adeje branch was a great 10/10 star, Linda had a difficult job from us wanting to do 1 hour jet skis, the 3hr sunset buggies & 3hr whale watching boat trip on the last three days of our trip but pulled it out the bag and got us sorted on each excursion anf we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Tenerife first excursions and everyone go see Linda. Be back soon

    Upcoming holiday sorted out! We booked a sunset buggy trip through WhatsApp for our upcoming holiday in September, we dealt with Laura who managed to sort us out with ease! We’ve seen online sunset trips are booked up until October time and were worried we’d left it too late, but Laura sorted us right out! Fanastic service, very professional. Hopefully we’ll come into the office to sort more excursions when we’re over in September!

    Fun filled Kayak & Snorkel excursion!We booked a kayaking tour through Danny at Tenerife First Excursions and it was a brilliant day out! The Kayak instructor was very nice and explained everything so well, and made us all feel so comfortable! It was great fun! We kayaked from los cris out to sea, around the bay and to a lovely cave between los cris and palmar and got to do some snorkeling which was amazing! We saw loads of cool fish and crabs too! Amazing view of Montaña Amarilla on route! Thanks guys, we'll be back to book another trip soon!

    Best experience Cannot recommend this company enough! We were offered great promotions and discounts at the time of booking. We booked a number of activities with Lisa who made sure we had an amazing time in Tenerife. Her activity recommendations have made our trip the best experience so far. I can truly say that the staff are really there for their customers even outside of business hours. We unfortunately lost our tickets for one of the activities and realized it only last minute, Lisa has went above and beyond to get us our tickets outside of business hours and on her day off!! Not many other companies or staff would give such an outstanding service. Would highly recommend booking your activities with Lisa, shes really helpful and really cares for her customers.
