    Excellent service I previously rated my jet skiing experience as poor but want to add this is through no fault of first excursions or the jet ski company and their customer service is second to none they do not accept your money and forget about you they are with you every step of the way to ensure your experience of excursions is 10/10. I have previously booked through them for sunset buggies, Siam park, boats, jet skis etc and have never had any issue all been brilliant. Tenerife first excursions is a friendly trusted reliable team to book through.

    Buggy ride Went on the off road buggy experience and it was awesome 😀 very dusty as you're on dirt tracks but an amazing thrill. You have to drive on the roads to get there, then blast around the dirt tracks before driving around Las Americas on your way back to base. I highly recommend it for anyone of any age (I'm 55!) And not expensive either 😍

    Respectful, passionate and full of knowledge Our captain ‘Guy’ was pleasantly crazy but very respectful to us and most of all the ocean’s wildlife. It seems to be a bit of a rat race of yachts and catamarans for the first sighting before heading off to snorkel. But we decided to take our time, minimize engine use and luckily saw a baby dolphin and some pilot whales, all from a distance safer to them. Guy told us a lot about the island, was extremely passionate about ocean life and our whole eco system. We went on the 4pm trip and were ready to come in, but would have loved a longer trip if budget and time allowed. Be mindful that you may not get a sighting and proactive about communicating what you’d really like out of your sailing.
