    Fantastic excursions from a reliable company! Being our first and maybe only family holiday, we wanted to pack a few excursions in. Sarah from First Tenerife was more than helpful in organising our trip. From Teide to parasailing Sarah organised everything and delivered our tickets and info etc to our hotel on the day of our arrival. In total we did snorkelling, parasailing, Siam and loro parque and a Teide tour with cable car. We were offered a discount from standard prices for bulk booking which was nice. Unfortunately on the day of the teide tour the cable car wasn’t running due to high winds but we were promptly refunded. Overall the relevant activities seemed to be staffed by competent, professional and friendly people. We would not hesitate to use these guys again if we ever return to Tenerife. Thanks for everything

    Geweldige tour Wij hebben enorm genoten van deze tour. We hadden een heldere avond en hebben een erg mooie zonsondergang gezien. De quats zijn makkelijk te besturen en we hebben een lang stuk mogen rijden door prachtige natuur en uitzicht. Onze guides Riko en Daniel waren ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. Ze gaven veel informatie over de omgeving en checkten regelmatig bij iedereen even in over hoe het ging. Als er iets was deden ze er gelijk wat aan. Ook was er water, snacks en champagne.We zouden deze tour zeker aanbevelen!

    Beautiful trip and amazing crew! I wanted to organize a beautiful experience for me and my boyfriend. Patricia helped me so much with that! She recommended us to get smaller, more private boat, so we could enjoy better our company. The trip was truly amazing - we saw dolphins, chilled on the boat with beautiful views and swim in a turquoise water. Trip was organized very well, Patricia gave us all needed information, so we arrived to the harbor without stress.
