    The best experience. Myself and my 11 year old son went into the shop in Las Americas and were met with Lorena.. We booked jet skis, quad bike, scuba diving, stargazing and all inclusive Siam park with her and she was amazing. It was our first trip about just us so I wanted everything to be perfect and it was just that.. She gave me every single bit of information I needed to make it as smooth as possible for us. The trips themselves were absolutely fantastic and we made so many memories and had the best time. Thank you Lorena.

    The Best Jet Ski Experience First time booking a jet ski experience with Tenerife First Excursions and by a mile it was the best one we’ve been on. Due to a poor experience with a different company on our previous visit I decided to do things differently this time. I contacted Tenerife First Excursions through WhatsApp while still in the UK. Roxie responded within minutes with all the information I needed, such as price list, the best day to go for best weather conditions and what steps to take when booking. Once we decided to book the 1 hr trip, Roxie sent me the payment link and within 10 minutes of contacting them, it was booked I was sent the invoice on WhatsApp, which you will need to show on the day along with photos of your id or passport details. I was sent all the details of where to go for the meeting point and once we were in Puerto Colon, it was easy to find. The lads on the boat from Extreme Skis were brilliant and made sure everyone on the trip was looked after whatever experience they had. The jet ski was the best one I have been on and was in immaculate condition, we had the best fun. Have no worries about booking with this outfit, whether you are already on Tenerife or before you fly out. It was a straight forward experience and a brilliant morning on the jet ski. We won’t book with anyone else.

    A must do excursion Very enjoyable experience. The boat was spacious with only 15 passengers and everything was well managed. There was plenty to drink and the food was better than the usual snacks offered. We saw lots of pilot whales and had a great swim in the sea in a little cove where we ate. The captain was fun and attentive . The boat also has a blue license that allows it to track the whales unlike many other operators. Would definitely do the trip again and would definitely recommend.
