    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.
    Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.
    Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!

    Fiat 500 self drive boat Hands down best part of our holiday. We had so much fun. Staff were very informative & the excursion company were very responsive when we checked to see we were in the right place etc. well worth the money and would defiantly do this trip again. I was worried being a larger gal that the boat would feel a bit unsteady but not at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Tenerife.

    Avvistamento cetacei Se ci fossero state più stelline ne avrebbe meritate molte di più.. A partire dall imbarcazione, da Fabrizio che è simpaticissimo e dal capitano! Esperienza assolutamente da fare, avvistamento balene pilota al 100% con loro. APERITIVO AL TRAMONTO SPETTACOLARE, con sosta in una Caletta x un tuffo e rilassarsi. Consigliatissimo

    A brilliant well priced tour We booked the “ Premium All Inclusive Whale & Dolphin Watching Experience” with these guys and as soon as we had booked they were in communication detailing where to meet and what to bring. This was done by WhatsApp and email which worked really well.The yacht was lovely and we had around 11 people in our group so there was loads of room for us all to spread out.There are seats at the back of the yacht if you prefer or you can sit along the side and front to get the full experience.Our captain was wonderful, explained everything to us and we just chilled as we sailed out of the port.You definitely need sunscreen, you are provided with waters, sodas and beers with a sandwich if you want it.At first we were lucky enough to see dolphins which was amazing and then further out saw baby whales with their mom. Was incredible, I’ll never forget it.Then we sailed to a quiet cove where some people got in for a swim and we just caught some sun.Then a slow cruise back along the coast to port, all in all 3 hrs.Really recommend this cruise, was around €50 each and well worth the money.Will do another tour with them when we return to Tenerife.One thing; they were very clear at the start that We might not see everything and as it’s nature, that can’t be helped. Also you only stay near a group of animals for 5 mins before moving away which felt enough time to see them without it being too much.

    Fun filled Kayak & Snorkel excursion!We booked a kayaking tour through Danny at Tenerife First Excursions and it was a brilliant day out! The Kayak instructor was very nice and explained everything so well, and made us all feel so comfortable! It was great fun! We kayaked from los cris out to sea, around the bay and to a lovely cave between los cris and palmar and got to do some snorkeling which was amazing! We saw loads of cool fish and crabs too! Amazing view of Montaña Amarilla on route! Thanks guys, we'll be back to book another trip soon!
