    Excellent service from Sarah today in Los Cris. She looked after the 5 of us on the excursions we wanted. Done us a good deal as Daniel always promised everyone on YouTube. Shame we didn’t get to see the big Irishman, hopefully before the end of the holiday. Thanks guys. #KeepItCountry #TenerifeFirstExcursions

    FALTÓ LA SUERTE PERO LO INTENTÓ HASTA EL FINAL Hicimos una excursión de avistamiento con ellos de 3 horas, y estuvo todo perfecto salvo que este día los animalitos no estaban por la labor de mostrarse.Excursión en velero, nosotros éramos 11 personas en total, el velero tiene una zona en la popa junto al capitán de bancos cubiertos por un toldo y también puedes ir en proa al aire libre sentado en la cubierta.Prácticamente al salir te llevan a una cala donde puedes tomar un baño y hacer snorkel, y a la vez sirven la comida que consiste en unas porciones de baguette con jamón, queso, tomate y lechuga, correctos sin más, sirven para alimentarte y si no eres de ir en barco mejor no comer mucho por los mareos. También te ofrecen refrescos y cervezas libremente.Nuestro capitán se pasó las 3 h (menos el tiempo del almuerzo) buscando las ballenas pero ese día no hubo suerte, a pesar de estar comunicado con los compañeros y estar todos barriendo la zona en su busca, este día no se quisieron mostrar, una lástima pero al menos disfrutamos del paseo en barco.Nos comentó que no es lo habitual así que animaos a hacerlo, mucho mejor verlos aquí en libertad que en una piscina de un parque.

    You can't guarantee the weather! We booked the half-day trip to Mount Teide with Daniel in Los Cristianos, including the cable cars to the top. On the day it was raining and windy, so the cable car part was unfortunately cancelled. Back to kiosk for a refund when we returned and Mark couldn't have been more helpful. No quibbles, swiftly dealt with and the money was back in our account the following day. The trip was still very enjoyable and very informative. Definitely recommend.
