    Helpful and professional advice Interaction with Andreea from the get go was flawless and really helpful, guiding us through the options and explaining which one would be our best choice, until we finalized and choose one of our best trips. We definitely would recommend having Andreea as a guide for the reason of being able to make the right choices.

    Self drive boat - 3 hour trip This is definitely worth booking! If we came back again to Tenerife we would definitely go again. The instructions for the boat are very easy to follow and the hosts were lovely people. They also provided a speaker, various swimming equipment (snorkels, flippers and underwater jet etc) as well as snacks, water and a cool box for your own use which we found was a very nice touch! Would definitely recommend buying and taking sea sickness tablets before you go however, as the sea is unpredictable especially in such a small boat. This is obviously no fault of the company and we still had fun none the less! Thank you guys!
