    Freedom in the sea Abbiamo affittato una barca self drive (senza aver bisogno di patente) con Patricia ed è stata una esperienza fantastica!! La barca è nuova e comoda, siamo stati prima a largo a rilassarci con buona musica e qualche drink e poi ci siamo spostati a la caleta dove abbiamo messo ancora e ci siamo fatti il bagno. Un’esperienza unica sicuramente da provare , grazie Patricia!!!

    15 pilot whales and 4 dolphines Our skipper, Patrick has plenty of sea experience after 25 years fishing in Alaska :-) He knows the habitat very well and navigated us to see dolphins and whales from very close! This is a sailboat, but it runs on an engine. There are comfortable places to sit. You get modern full-face masks for snorkeling. We stopped in a small bay and we saw a lot of fish (they enjoy feeding).Be aware that the waves are high even with moderate wind.

    First Class! Before our holiday to Tenerife me and my girlfriend discussed the excursions we wanted to experience to which jet ski-ing and quad biking. Having looked around we came across Tenerife First Excursions. The price deal Sarah managed to offer was non-refuse able, we were given what we was promised and through out the duration of the holiday Sarah was able to sort out any further enquires we had. The excursion them selves were brilliant experience and I highly recommend Tenerife First Excursions due to their honesty, reliability and the ability to give you the best experience at the best price.

    We booked a 4.5h whale + dolphin watching tour through TFE, and Sue was very helpful with all the details. The tour ended up happening via Freebird catamarans (dunno if directly or using their boats), and I was a little skeptical since there were old reviews of bad experiences, but our trip was very pleasant. We managed to snag one of the first sunbeds (first come basis when you board the boat for 25EUR, very much recommend this), so we got to enjoy a beautiful view of the island and Los Gigantes, and a ride on the waves. The captain said the ride is a bit choppy, but it didnt seem too bad - all our stuff stayed in place, just make sure to put something heavy on your towels if you get up so the wind doesnt blow them away. We were served a nice rice+chicken lunch, and had access to free drinks. The crew entertained us with excellent music selection, and on the way back we managed to watch pilot whales for about 20 minutes, quite close at times (captn said 99% chance of seeing whales when we went in November). Our only "complaint" is that we wish more time was spent with the animals, but I think we just need a different tour for that - this was 90% relaxing, sightseeing, and swimming (which we still thoroughly recommend)

    Lovely boat trip and a fantastic experience We had a great trip on the Atlantic Star and saw two different family pods of Pilot whales, including a really large male swimming right next to the boat. The captain and our host were really knowledgeable and friendly. They made our 8year old feel really comfortable when feeling a little worried about the trip. We missed out on seeing any dolphins but that is just the chance that you take. We’d recommend the trip to everyone
