    Better than expected So the weather, which of course can't be controlled, had been awful. It was very windy and cold the few days before our trip. The conditions were that bad, we thought the trip was going to be cancelled. Luckily our day dawned sunny with only a light breeze. The sea had a 2 to 3 foot swell but the catamaran handled it well and for the most part, the journey was smooth enough to stand up and move around. The boat was full, I assumed previous trips had been rescheduled. We weren't interested in the sunbeds, it was going to be too cold but had it been warmer we might have considered paying the 30 or so Euros they were asking for. We sat along the side of the boat but there were also seats inside and on an upper deck. The crew were very helpful and the information given out about the trip was very informative. It was given out in all the languages of the passengers on board. We saw Pilot Whales and 2 types of Dolphin. It got a bit rougher when the boat slowed so we could watch them. Soft drinks and some alcoholic drinks were included in the tour price but the ice creams (Cornetto's) were 3 Euros. The lunch was a rice dish, we didn't fancy that because badly stored rice rice is a major source of food poisoning. The bread rolls and bananas were good though. Overall we enjoyed our trip

    Top excusions, great prices Were given a recommendation for this company and didnt realise we were already following via facebook and tiktok We dealt with Sarah who was very patient and couldnt do enough for us, she recommended some trips and we decided on the 3 hour off road buggy/Tiede tour a buggy for 6 not for the faint hearted but really enjoyed it. We also decided on a private charter excursion on the Galatea boat, when we arrived for a PM sailing some customers were coming off excursions saying how bad the sea was and everyone sea sick, the Captain of the Galatea came and spoke to us and gave us 3 options, go out (wont be enjoyable) postpone or cancel with a full refund. Luckily for us we were here for 2 weeks so we opted to try again the following week im so glad we did, it did not disapoint! The captain was helpful, informative - Soft drinks, water, beer and wine all included along with a tray of sandwiches crisps, snacks and sweets for the kids. We were lucky enough to see some whales and got a chance to do some snorkeling, well worth the money with the added bonus of it being "exclusive" to our family of 6 We also booked jet-ski and parasending with Sarah - no issues Would highly recommend and if was to return to Tenerife would defo use again :)

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.

    Amazingly easy We went to Tenerife as a family to visit my brother. My little guy is 4! My brother booked all our trips with first excursion's, using Linda. We had the best time. Visiting all the parks, and having an amazing boat tour. Everything was well planned and easy to navigate.

    Very efficient (Booked day trip to La Palma) We booked a day trip to La Palma through Tenerife First Excursions. Lisa at the booking office could not have been more helpful. She rang the company that actually runs the trip, because, although the volcano had stopped, she advised that it was always best to check the latest details. There isn´t a pick-up service for this excursion so she gave us the number of the local taxi firm and full details of where to go. Would book through them again
