    Jetski experience - an hour we'll remember for a long time! More memories made after a wonderful hour out on the water. Trip sorted by Kim at Tenerife First Excursions, who was great. Ski company reassured my nervous teen daughter today and she was absolutely buzzing after the experience, which helped tackle her concerns over being in open water too, as we jumped off half way through for a lovely swim. Took out 3 singles and were joined by a lovely couple on a double jetski. They fell off twice but they clambered back on and had a brilliant time. My son left me behind as I hung on for my life and feared I'd fall off. I got better as time went on but even my daughter had caught me up in the end and was turning with confidence. I worried about the experience but need not have done as we were put at ease and the session felt safe and well away from others on the water.

    Sunset Buggy’s are out of this world We booked before arriving to Tenerife, the cost is so worth it. Myself and my little sister had the most amazing experience and was so easy when booking through the Tenerife excursions and transport from and back to our hotel was included within the price also. The overall experience was so surreal and definitely one to add when visiting Tenerife ☀️ the guys at Tenerife excursions kept in contact and confirmed everything.

    Kim was Amazing - would highly recommend you book through Kim at TFE! Where do I start! Kim was absolutely amazing. Upon arriving at the office we were made to feel very welcome. From the go we knew we had made the right choice booking with TFE. There was no pressure, all options were given to us and we were enabled to make the best decisions based of Kim’s knowledge and information of excursions on the island. We booked Siam Park VIP, a sunset boat cruise and the jet skis. Unfortunately a family member fell poorly in the day of the boat trip and we couldn’t make it - Kim was very kind and helped us rearrange same day no fussing. All 3 excursions were amazing and from start to finish Kim was a great help! When we come back, this will be our first stop on the island as we know Kim will take care of everything we need to make our time as special and enjoyable as possible! Thanks again Kim!

    The best excursions Linda from the Costa Adeje branch was a great 10/10 star, Linda had a difficult job from us wanting to do 1 hour jet skis, the 3hr sunset buggies & 3hr whale watching boat trip on the last three days of our trip but pulled it out the bag and got us sorted on each excursion anf we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Tenerife first excursions and everyone go see Linda. Be back soon
