    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.

    A big thank you to Tenerife First Excursions and a special mention to Lisa Fay for being absolutely brilliant in helping us book our activities! From start to finish, Lisa was very attentive and knowledgable- not just about the activities but the whole island itself! We instantly felt very comfortable and confident with the bookings we made! She reiterated that if we had any issues with our activities, Tenerife First Excursions would do whatever they can to find a resolution which was very much appreciated! The best surprise was that we booked the same boat trip on the same day as Lisa!- and so the party and fun continued and we had the best day with Lisa and her family. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Tenerife! ❤️❤️

    Amazing experience We went at 9:30 since we heard that the animals are more active earlier in the day. The tour was almost private, there were five of us in total, including the captain which was very knowledge and nice. We had been sailing for probably 20 minutes when we saw some bottlenose dolphins and one of them even came up to the boat. As we continued we spotted a turtle but it disappeared rather quickly. Then we sailed to a known pilot whales area where we stopped for a while and spotted around 10 whales. Finally we sailed to a bay, on our way there we saw some more dolphins. There we stopped for drinks and sandwiches, stayed there for 30 minutes and then returned back, very happy with the amount of animals spotted.Side note: even though it's warm outside, make sure to bring something warm with you because it gets cold when sailing.

    100% would I recommend booking excursions with Tenerife First! Me and my boyfriend booked the all inclusive Siam Park tickets which was well worth the price!! We got our lockers, towels, unlimited fast pass for the slides which means we didn’t have to wait in the long queues, all inclusive food and drinks along with the park entrance which would have cost us way more if we paid on the day!! We also booked the Sunset Quad Tour which was an unreal experience!! Our guides Davide and Danny where brilliant couldn’t recommend them enough they was really welcoming and happy to help with any questions we had. Along with providing information about Mount Teide which was nice touch! The drinks whilst watching the sunset were a really nice addition ! Again, I would recommend to anyone visiting Tenerife and wanting to do some amazing excursions ! I will also be recommending to family and friends. A big thank you to Matt for your TikTok videos which helped us come across Tenerife First Excursions so we were able to do these unforgettable experiences. It was also great to meet you whilst shopping and have a chat during our visit in Tenerife!! 📸☀️
