    Tenerife first excursions ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was at home in the UK and wanted to pre book a hire car for our holiday this June. I’ve previously been to Tenerife and had a great experience with using Tenerife First Excursions. That was around 3 years ago, and today we received the exact same service as we did then. Which shows, that’s just who they are. Amazing service, friendly staff, always responsive and they almost seem like a friend rather than a business, very very welcoming. If you’re heading to Tenerife, I strongly recommend using First excursions for any of your holiday needs. They leave you no doubt and you feel instantly like you’re in good hands. 5 stars !

    Sunset, sundowners, stars and planets in high clear air Night Skies Tenerife provided an excellent excursion starting late afternoon and ending back at our hotel before midnight. The coach stopped at several convenient pick-up points in South West Tenerife and took us up the hills to watch the sun setting into the sea beyond the three Western Canary Islands. Plenty of time for photos with a glass of cold cava each. Then further up into the old crater of Mount Tiede and a reasonable dinner at Restaurant Bambi. After dinner, the two experienced and knowledgeable English-speaking guides and their two assistants had set up four proper telescopes in the car park for amazing star gazing in crystal clear skies with no light pollution. Great to be with guides keen to share their extensive knowledge.

    Respectful, passionate and full of knowledge Our captain ‘Guy’ was pleasantly crazy but very respectful to us and most of all the ocean’s wildlife. It seems to be a bit of a rat race of yachts and catamarans for the first sighting before heading off to snorkel. But we decided to take our time, minimize engine use and luckily saw a baby dolphin and some pilot whales, all from a distance safer to them. Guy told us a lot about the island, was extremely passionate about ocean life and our whole eco system. We went on the 4pm trip and were ready to come in, but would have loved a longer trip if budget and time allowed. Be mindful that you may not get a sighting and proactive about communicating what you’d really like out of your sailing.

    ULTIMATE BUGGIES TENERIFE 🙂 We booked through Mark at Tenerife First Excursions for a buggy ride to Mount Teide. The tour was taken by Ultimate Buggies Tenerife. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, we were picked up and dropped off outside our hotel, given a full safety briefing, goggles, gloves and much needed jackets! The guys were 1st class, safety on the roads was paramount and put our minds at ease throughout the whole trip! We had good amount of both stops for photo opportunities and riding time, had loads of interesting knowledge about the area too! My son said these buggies handled smoothly and were a pleasure to drive, as the passenger I have to agree, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend this company enough - will be booking again soon.
