    Amazing experience We went at 9:30 since we heard that the animals are more active earlier in the day. The tour was almost private, there were five of us in total, including the captain which was very knowledge and nice. We had been sailing for probably 20 minutes when we saw some bottlenose dolphins and one of them even came up to the boat. As we continued we spotted a turtle but it disappeared rather quickly. Then we sailed to a known pilot whales area where we stopped for a while and spotted around 10 whales. Finally we sailed to a bay, on our way there we saw some more dolphins. There we stopped for drinks and sandwiches, stayed there for 30 minutes and then returned back, very happy with the amount of animals spotted.Side note: even though it's warm outside, make sure to bring something warm with you because it gets cold when sailing.

    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.

    I booked two trips with first excursions tenerife. A boat trip to see whales and dolphins and kayaking to see dolphins and turtles both trip where fantastic well organised and excellently ran events. Daniel is friendly, professional and very honest. He pointed out that seeing the wildlife was not a guarantee. Thankfully he was wrong, both trips delivered on the dolphins, whales and turtles. I can't recommend Frist Excursions Tenerife and his advice and trips highly enough. 10/10 to Daniel and his team.

    Met Daniel and The MacMaster on a very windy December morning as they were on route for breakfast and ourselves to meet Kim. What a friendly bunch of people made us feel so welcome.
    Had a great chat with Kim who is very professional and certainly went out her way to help us. We booked the sunset tour with the star gazing for my 40+2 birthday on the Friday. what an experience. When we come back to Tenerife we will certainly be back for a catch up and rebook it again. Definitely a trip to do. I won’t give any spoilers on it but get it booked up.
