    Fantastic Service that made our holiday Kim at First Excursions was excellent, very quick to respond to any queries we had. Booked all our excursions for our week in Tenerife and gave us a lovely discount! Star Gazing is a must! We also went had excursions for Siam Park, Teide Half day with cable car, Buggy Expedition, 2 Hour Jet Skis and La Gomera. All we're fantastic, great trips all round and made our holiday. Definitely recommending these guys to family/friends as well as using them when we come back.

    Pleasant boat ride Spacious boat, did not get seasick. Did see some whales. Fun getting in the water, but Tenerife isn’t really a snorkeling destination, so nothing to see. Lunch was substantial, not just snacks like other tour options. The captain was interesting lol. Very thick Italian accent and his voice does not project, so everyone had trouble hearing and/or understanding him, and he’d get progressively frustrated when he repeated himself. This is not to say he wasn’t nice, he still kept everyone’s glasses full and was helpful whenever anyone had questions.

    Awesome, WOW!! I booked through Sarah at the Los Christianos branch, she made the whole process of choosing which activities I wanted to do and then the actual booking so easy, this is my 3rd time of booking through this branch and I won't go through anyone else when I visit Tenerife now. They are always most helpful, friendly, and non-pushy for a sale company i have used. I've done the dolphins and whale watching before and this trip the Mustang tiede tour and 1000M paragliding experience and I want to do both again I loved it so much!! Just WOW! Thank you Sarah!

    Met Daniel and The MacMaster on a very windy December morning as they were on route for breakfast and ourselves to meet Kim. What a friendly bunch of people made us feel so welcome.
    Had a great chat with Kim who is very professional and certainly went out her way to help us. We booked the sunset tour with the star gazing for my 40+2 birthday on the Friday. what an experience. When we come back to Tenerife we will certainly be back for a catch up and rebook it again. Definitely a trip to do. I won’t give any spoilers on it but get it booked up.

    Agradable experiencia. Buena experiencia. Tres horas de buen rollo y rato muy agradable. Gui agrada durante la ruta y explica muchas cosas, la mayoría interesantes. El único pero, vimos pocos animales y ,aunque la idea de nuestro guía fue que no era lo principal de la excursión, nos apetecía un montón. Lo mejor, al ser un barco pequeño, que solo podíamos ir cinco personas y fue una ruta que se convirtió en privada y fue un verdadero gustazo.

    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
