    Met Linda this evening with only a few days left of our holiday. She was so lovely and very attentive. We told her what we were really wanting to do but also open to recommendations, she went through it all with us and was very personable. Would highly recommend booking through them. Can’t wait for our excursions now- day boat trip to see the dolphins and whales, swimming in the sea with snacks and drinks included (3hrs). Also, sunset buggy with snack and soft drink included.Thank you again Linda!!

    We booked all our our excursions in advance online via Tenerife first excursions and it was super simple! Communication was great and it was made clear where we needed to be for meet / pick up locations and times etc! We particularly enjoyed the catamaran whale/dolphin watching and of course you can’t miss out on Siam park!However, the highlight has to be ‘small group stargazing in Mt Teide with Ben’ at Active Tenerife as not only was the evening incredible, watching the sunset and enjoying the local food Ben had bought with him, his knowledge, friendliness and humour was what truly made this our favourite excursion! His passion for what he does shines through and he had us captivated the entire evening with the history of Tenerife, the moon, sun, stars and how this all impacts our day to day life here on earth - also we got some really cool pictures under the stars included.Ben is by far the best guide and host we have ever encountered in all our years of travelling / excursions - it was a real pleasure to meet him and I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone … even if stargazing isn’t your usual thing (it’s not ours) but we learnt so much and also got to take in some breathtaking views! 10/10 experience - Thank you to Tenerife first and Ben for making our holiday so magical 💫

    Sunset, stars & moon! Booked from the UK over Facebook with Ross, communication was brilliant and the booking system was very efficient. Great experience would highly recommend. The meal was very basic and not really a 3 course it was just a bread roll, chicken or fish with rice and potatoes then a small portion of a dessert. The kids loved their homemade chicken nuggets though but make sure you request them as soon as you arrive! (Take snacks for younger children).The tour was brilliant and the tour guide really know their stuff! We were so glad we decided to do this trip as it’s something we will remember forever! Thank you Laurie Delisle

    Mike and Ross at Tenerife First Excursions are absolutely fantastic - they are both friendly and professional.

    Both Mike and Ross speak perfect English and Spanish. They really do their best to find fun activities at fair prices. I'm delighted with the customer service experience.

    I'd also like to give a special mention to Matty for being a great manager. Matty always prioritises customer satisfied, so I am confident that if you book an activity through Mike, Ross or Matty, you will have a lot of fun at a fair price with a positive customer experience.

    I will definitely come back to Tenerife First Excursions when I am back in Tenerife!

    Whale and dolphin watching trip Had a brilliant trip out today. It was only a boat for 12 which was perfect. Time for swimming, food and then up popped lots of minke whales, dolphins a totally magical experience. The skipper was very respectful of the wildlife and kept the boat at a distance, allowing them to come closer if they chose to, which they did. Music was switched off when they all were around us. Loved it would highly recommend this trip and I don’t normally do reviews
