    Good few hours out Wasn’t what I expected for the price as I’ve paid less and got more value for money but the driver (captain?) not sure what you call them lol, was very nice. The drinks were cheap sodas, didn’t eat the sandwich. We did spot 2 dolphins on the way back, and saw a few turtles. The stop off to jump in the sea was fun and a good snorkelling opportunity. The sun spot on front was lovely. It was very clean and overall a great experience I think the only let down was the food and drink but I suppose it wasn’t a long enough trip to expect more. Would definitely recommend for couples

    I booked the Raganork boat experience through Tenerife first excursions and what a fantastic experience it was from booking to actually going on the ship. Such a professional, straight up company who can’t do enough for you. I Also booked the Siam tickets which were printed within minutes so no need to queue at Siam park to buy the tickets. I was advised the Raganork experience was going to be great by the excursion company but it was sensational. Never been so close to the Whales .

    Arrivé le 18/08 sur l’île de Tenerife et plus aucun moyen de locomotion à louer ! Sauf que j’ai croisé Lisafay lors de ma première promenade à Costa Adeje. Cette ravissante et pétillante femme m’a trouvé une moto pour le lendemain et pour 4 jours. La découverte de l’île a commencé ainsi et je lui en suis très reconnaissant.Bien entendu, je recommande vivement Tenerife First Excursions.Même quand cela devient impossible, c’est possible !!! ❤️

    Absolutely spot on. We visited Tenerife a couple of months ago and luckily stumbled upon the lovely Kim of Tenerife First Excursions, she was so nice to us with no pressure sales whatsoever. She made us feel like we were her friends rather than her customers which we really appreciated. She was an absolute joy to chat to to she sorted us out with a couple of great activities that's really was the highlight of our holiday. We would definitely pay Kim a visit if we come back to Tenerife again. Thankyou 🙂.
