    The best experience. Myself and my 11 year old son went into the shop in Las Americas and were met with Lorena.. We booked jet skis, quad bike, scuba diving, stargazing and all inclusive Siam park with her and she was amazing. It was our first trip about just us so I wanted everything to be perfect and it was just that.. She gave me every single bit of information I needed to make it as smooth as possible for us. The trips themselves were absolutely fantastic and we made so many memories and had the best time. Thank you Lorena.

    Fiat 500 Boats and Monkey Park We visited a couple of days ago and was greeted by Lorena who was excellent at finding the best trips. She also gave her number to us incase we needed to contact her regarding any of our excursions, we also got 20% voucher for chillbox and 10% voucher for Banging Burgers since we booked with these guys. We had booked the Fiat 500 Boat ride - 1 hour and it truly a experience that we will not be forgetting any time soon the staff down at the docks where very friendly and talked us all through the steps of how the boat worked and kept in contact if we went out of range. We also paid the extra 20 euros for the professional photos that they took of us We also purchased tickets for the monkey park which is a great affordable trip we got a taxi to the monkey park as we wasn’t staying anywhere near it and the park it’s self was just amazing so many different animals not just monkeys and so many great pictures was taken got straight through to entrance instead of queuing as we had purchased the ticket from Tenerife First Excursions Such a great couple of days of excursions will definitely be back to book more trips in the future.
