    Pushchair hire We visited today and met Patricia. Although she was unable to help with what we wanted (pushchair hire) she was incredibly helpful and made sure we walked away with contact numbers in order to get hold of a pushchair. All in all she was very helpful and will definitely be back to book some excursions with her.

    We booked our kayaking experience with Dan and we couldn't be happier with our decision. He gave us all the necessary information about where the kayaking office is and how it's organized. We had an amazing time. Thank you Dan😊

    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.

    Perfect end to our holiday Amazing boat trip, so worth the money! We saw plenty of whales, dolphins and even turtles. Our lovely boat driver knew exactly where to look and seemed just as excited as us himself. We even got to go for a swim in a shallower part of the sea. Was a really lovely relaxed trip with a plentiful supply of soft drinks and beers. Unfortunately the vegan option was just a box of (very very) plain salad. But that wasn’t a big part of the trip so just make sure you don’t get on the boat starving if you’re vegan!

    Ottima esperienza Io e il mio ragazzo su consiglio di un nostro amico, ci siamo recati da Patricia ( la ragazza che segue le prenotazioni per escursioni / lezioni) e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. E stata gentilissima e disponibilissima a darci tutte le informazioni, sia sui posti da visitare ( spiagge e quant’altro) sia sulle escursioni. Abbiamo prenotato tramite lei una lezione di surf presso una scuola a las Américas e siamo rimasti molto molto soddisfatti. Sicuramente non appena torneremo a Tenerife, ci affideremo nuovamente a lei. Consigliatissimo.
