    Amazing boat trip via the lovely Laura! Heard about TFE from seeing Mattie on TikTok. As we were in Tenerife at the same time as a few of our friends, we decided to charter a boat & of course, TFE were our 1st choice. We were lucky to be in contact with the wonderful Laura, who we initially dealt with via WhatsApp but then met in person once we arrived. She was so friendly, kind & knowledgeable & gave me some great advice as I was worried about going on a boat as I get seasick. The boat trip itself was brilliant - there were 16 of us on the boat, ranging from aged 11 to 55 looked after by the lovely Santhi who kept us constantly supplied with drinks. The food was also fab. We got to see loads of whales & dolphins and then fish when we stopped to snorkel. After following Laura’s advice I didn’t feel at all seasick. I would 100% recommend TFE - they listen to exactly what you want & make you feel important, even though they must deal with so many people.

    Viking Tour Amazing service recommending which excursions would suit us best. The Viking tour was amazing fun we went on a quieter day and the staff were so lovely and accommodating. Much more exciting than a standard catamaran tour and a much smaller group so less overwhelming and crowded so actually able to enjoy the views and sea life.

    Quad biking with Daniel Daniel was a great tour guide, as soon as he picked us up he was full of energy and made me and my boyfriend so comfortable with him. We had the best experience thanks to Daniel and his other colleague I don’t remember his name. We would 100% do this again when we come back to Tenerife and I’ve already recommended quad biking to many of friends since being back! Thank you Daniel for being amazing to us. Can’t wait to do it again.

    We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim! I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday! It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us! We booked loads of different trips! 3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s! Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it! 10/10 service and friendliness

    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.
