    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.

    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!

    Really helpful Many hanks to Sarah who helped us with this trip. We needed a calm boat due to recent surgery so she suggested the catamaran. We plumped for the 4.5hr trip and were not disappointed. She also told us how to get there and back and where to get taxis and buses from as we were too late for their transport, but it wasn’t a problem. The trip itself was great. Beautiful scenery, pilot whales, dolphins and flying fish and a chance to swim in the sea.

    This is the best excursion shop in Tenerife. Outstanding customer service and the most helpful staff you can ask for.
    Polish guy Macek was very informative, suggested the best jet-ski in the island which was spot on and gave us amazing price for the catamaran to see dolphins. Thank you guys, you have made our holidays here.
    If you are in Tenerife, head only to Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your holidays perfect.
