    Whale and Dolphin trip We went on this excursion as it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Patrick who directed us to the boat. Our skipper was very informative and we saw quite a few pilot whales, dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, we even saw a turtle! The sandwiches and drinks were lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

    Amazing boat trip via the lovely Laura! Heard about TFE from seeing Mattie on TikTok. As we were in Tenerife at the same time as a few of our friends, we decided to charter a boat & of course, TFE were our 1st choice. We were lucky to be in contact with the wonderful Laura, who we initially dealt with via WhatsApp but then met in person once we arrived. She was so friendly, kind & knowledgeable & gave me some great advice as I was worried about going on a boat as I get seasick. The boat trip itself was brilliant - there were 16 of us on the boat, ranging from aged 11 to 55 looked after by the lovely Santhi who kept us constantly supplied with drinks. The food was also fab. We got to see loads of whales & dolphins and then fish when we stopped to snorkel. After following Laura’s advice I didn’t feel at all seasick. I would 100% recommend TFE - they listen to exactly what you want & make you feel important, even though they must deal with so many people.

    “We’ve absolutely loved it” We booked around 4 excursions through Tenerife first. They was super quick at replying via their WhatsApp and every single excursion went off without a hitch. All times, locations, QR Codes, Bus rides it was all sorted through Tenerife first. The process has been very straight forward and hassle free and when you’re on holiday that’s exactly what you want. We also did a Stargazing small group excursion which was lead by Ben Simington. We done all the main attractions in Tenerife and can honestly say this was the highlight of our Holiday. Ben ensured we was catered for with dietary requirements and his knowledge on astronomy and Tenerife in general is second to none, a fantastic evening/night we even got to see Saturn with its Ring! We also done a dolphin and whale boat trip with Danny, again very informative on the ocean and was a brilliant skipper. We wholeheartedly recommend both Tenerife First, Ben and Danny to anyone who heads to Tenerife and we will for sure be using again in the future! Thank you Tenerife First for adding to our holiday experience! “we’ve absolutely loved it!” ♥️

    Belle nuit d'étoiles et explications intéressantes Très belle soirée étoilée avec de superbes explications en français données par Maxime qui n'a aucun secret sur le nom grec des étoiles, des constellations et nous instruit de manière simple et intéressante, belle approche. Même pas mal au cou à regarder les étoiles avec leur super laser qui va jusqu'à cibler l'étoile en question dans le ciel ! Les guides en différentes langues ne se gênent pas, et tout le monde a pu observer sur les 4 différents télescopes, ce qu'il avait décrit, en petits groupes de 5 personnes/télescope. Nous en avons eu plein les yeux mais habillez vous chaudement. Petite cafète et toilettes à disposition. Visite nocturne à recommander.

    Fiat 500 self drive boat Hands down best part of our holiday. We had so much fun. Staff were very informative & the excursion company were very responsive when we checked to see we were in the right place etc. well worth the money and would defiantly do this trip again. I was worried being a larger gal that the boat would feel a bit unsteady but not at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Tenerife.
