    Agradable experiencia. Buena experiencia. Tres horas de buen rollo y rato muy agradable. Gui agrada durante la ruta y explica muchas cosas, la mayoría interesantes. El único pero, vimos pocos animales y ,aunque la idea de nuestro guía fue que no era lo principal de la excursión, nos apetecía un montón. Lo mejor, al ser un barco pequeño, que solo podíamos ir cinco personas y fue una ruta que se convirtió en privada y fue un verdadero gustazo.

    Holiday in Tenerife We booked a couple of activities to do on our holiday in Tenerife. A whale and dolphin boat trip, siam park and monkey park, all of them were amazing. We all loved the boat trip as we saw loads of whales and were able to go for a swim. Thank you to Tenerife excursions and Laura for arranging some lovely trips.
