    Absolutely amazing team, definitely recommend if you’re wanting to go on some excursions or do the water and animal parks while in Tenerife. Stress free go and book with Tenerife First Excursions, they give you all the details pay and then they sort everything out for you from their you just turn up. Had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Kim who was so welcoming and gave us all the information we needed when we told her what we was looking to do. Competitive prices compared to all the others you see and they definitely only work along side the best companies. We booked Jet skiing, Siam park and the monkey park. Even better that Siam park and the monkey park are open tickets so you can use them on whichever day you decide no deciding beforehand. When we’re back in Tenerife (which we will be as it’s our favourite destination) will definitely go back and book with any of the team as they are brilliant. Thank you to all the team but as I say especially Kim who we saw at booking.

    Merece la pena Magnífica travesía. Vimos delfines y calderones aunque lo que te tiene que gustar es navegar ya que tres horas dan para mucho. Nos bañamos y el patrón fue muy agradable. 100 % recomendable. Relacion calidad precio buenísima. Volveremos
