    A big thank you to Tenerife First Excursions and a special mention to Lisa Fay for being absolutely brilliant in helping us book our activities! From start to finish, Lisa was very attentive and knowledgable- not just about the activities but the whole island itself! We instantly felt very comfortable and confident with the bookings we made! She reiterated that if we had any issues with our activities, Tenerife First Excursions would do whatever they can to find a resolution which was very much appreciated! The best surprise was that we booked the same boat trip on the same day as Lisa!- and so the party and fun continued and we had the best day with Lisa and her family. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Tenerife! ❤️❤️

    Great night underneath the stars We had a great night with Killian and the team and could see some fantastic objects through the scope. Besides the explanations the team also took good care of us with drinks (cava for sunset, hot chocolate to warm up after standing in the cold) and professional pictures which were included in the tour price. All in all a wonderful experience which I can only recommend.

    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.

    Perfect Today, we had the chance for a private boat trip with Captain Xiba on the Galatea yacht. Shortly after departure from the Harbour, we could watch a pilot whale Familie. The further we moved out to sea, the closer the whales came to the sailing boat. The best was the fact that we were alone and no other noisy boats were around. We highly recommend this boat trip with Xiba and owner Patrick. Both of them are very friendly and competent. Thank you especially for letting a Swiss sailor take the steering wheel for a while :-) Michèle, Emilia and Christian
