    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.

    We found this place, as we watch Matt on Facebook and TikTok. I messaged the number linked to there Facebook page and they got back to me straight away answering my questions and told me where the nearest shop was. We walked there, only 20 minutes away right by the golden mile. Lorena was there, smile at the ready, and helped us within 5 minutes. Gave us all the information we needed and walked out happy and ready to go on the trips we have booked. Thank you Lorena, you are a credit to the company!! Xx

    Libby Sailing Boat Private Charter We booked a private charter on the new libby sailing boat with Lisafay and we couldn’t have been happier, 3 hours sailing around seeing dolphins, turtles and pilot whales. Our captain then took us off to a little cove where we went snorkelling and paddle boarding! Thanks to Lisafay for sorting this trip for us after a stressful day of being messed around trying to hire a boat at short notice!

    Arrivé le 18/08 sur l’île de Tenerife et plus aucun moyen de locomotion à louer ! Sauf que j’ai croisé Lisafay lors de ma première promenade à Costa Adeje. Cette ravissante et pétillante femme m’a trouvé une moto pour le lendemain et pour 4 jours. La découverte de l’île a commencé ainsi et je lui en suis très reconnaissant.Bien entendu, je recommande vivement Tenerife First Excursions.Même quand cela devient impossible, c’est possible !!! ❤️

    The best place and people to book with! We booked the sunset quad tour, dolphin and whale boat tour and then Siam park all inclusive. To say this was the best trip of my life was an understatement. Big thank you to Dan for his help with all the booking and giving us the best deals, advice and his genuine interest in providing the best service he could. Siam park was unbelievable and cannot recommended the all inclusive pass enough. The food, drink, lockers and unlimited fast pass for the slides was the handiest thing ever and ensured we got all the slides we wanted done multiple times. The quad tour was out of this world. Thank you to Lee and Emily both of you made the tour that much better. Emily collected us from the hotel and drove us to the quads, we were then suited up and began the tour. Emily was the photographer and was top class. Lee is just a legend. Both of you adore your jobs and it’s clear to see. Lee had the timing down to a tee for the sunset etc. We had drinks, hot chocolate and local biscuits as the sun went down. When we returned we were given the option to purchase the pictures for 20€ there was a total of 670 pictures taken for the group so it was the easiest yes. Emily then brought us back to our hotel which was included in the package. Lastly we went on the 3 hour boat tour. We booked a catamaran. This was another unreal trip where we saw sea turtles and pilot whales with a swim stop by a cove, food and drinks included also. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. Thanks to everyone involved for making this trip so special and enjoyable. Worth every penny. If you want to do anything in Tenerife book with Tenerife first excursions!!
