    Amazing What an amazing few hours. Many thanks to our skipper Guy, who made it a fantastic experience.His passion for the sea and its wildlife is extraordinary.We were lucky to see some dolphins and whales, but the trip was so much more than that.Our group has been on the much larger boat tours, but we won’t be doing that again, the smaller boat was so much nicer.The weather meant that Guy was able to cut the engines and sail for a while.100% recommend this trip.Many thanks.

    Amazing Service from Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions! We had such a fantastic experience booking our trips through Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. From start to finish, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We booked several activities including Siam Park, a magical stargazing experience, and the Freebird Catamaran trip – and every single one was spot on.Lisafay really knows her stuff – she gave us honest, tailored advice based on what we were looking for, and her recommendations made a huge difference to our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Everything was clearly explained, professionally handled, and her friendly attitude made it a pleasure to deal with her.If you’re in Tenerife and want to book unforgettable excursions with someone you can truly trust, go and see Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. She genuinely cares, and it shows. Thanks again, Lisafay – you made our holiday extra special!

    ULTIMATE BUGGIES TENERIFE 🙂 We booked through Mark at Tenerife First Excursions for a buggy ride to Mount Teide. The tour was taken by Ultimate Buggies Tenerife. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, we were picked up and dropped off outside our hotel, given a full safety briefing, goggles, gloves and much needed jackets! The guys were 1st class, safety on the roads was paramount and put our minds at ease throughout the whole trip! We had good amount of both stops for photo opportunities and riding time, had loads of interesting knowledge about the area too! My son said these buggies handled smoothly and were a pleasure to drive, as the passenger I have to agree, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend this company enough - will be booking again soon.

    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.

    We booked and enjoyed the 4.5 hour boat trip Los Gigantes / Masca Bay tour. It was a wonderful excursion, numerous whales and dolphins were to be seen. Everything worked out great, there was a great opportunity for a refreshing swim. This was not our first booking with Tenerife First Excursions and definitely not the last!
