    Amazing very friendly and polite Amazing, nice boat and managed to see some whales which was well cool, we then stopped for a swim and the sea was full of different fish which was nice to see. The captain was very friendly and funny. The team at Tenerife first excursions was very friendly, would like to say thanks to Daniel and Kim for organising the trip for us will definitely use them again.

    A fantastic boat trip out to see whales We were interested in taking some excursions but didn’t really know what we wanted. Daniel went through options thoroughly ggwithout being pushy and we settled on a whale and dolphin boat trip. It was a wonderful experience. Just 9 of us on the boat in total. We saw whales and sea turtles and then stopped for a swim near a lovely little beach. A perfect addition to any holiday and definitely worth every penny.

    Definitely the place to buy excursions Ross, in Los Cristianos, is a star! He knows his stuff and made booking the trip a breeze. He responds to WhatsApp messages extremely quickly and is super helpful. He also made several restaurant and bar recommendations. He is a real credit to the company.We loved our star gazing on Mount Teide. Thanks, Ross.
