    Thank you Laura! We booked jet skis same-day last minute through WhatsApp with Laura and she managed to get us onto jet skis at 6pm! Miracle worker, and a true pleasure from start to finish. We went with extreme jet skis and couldn’t get over how fast they go! Highly recommend.

    Top excusions, great prices Were given a recommendation for this company and didnt realise we were already following via facebook and tiktok We dealt with Sarah who was very patient and couldnt do enough for us, she recommended some trips and we decided on the 3 hour off road buggy/Tiede tour a buggy for 6 not for the faint hearted but really enjoyed it. We also decided on a private charter excursion on the Galatea boat, when we arrived for a PM sailing some customers were coming off excursions saying how bad the sea was and everyone sea sick, the Captain of the Galatea came and spoke to us and gave us 3 options, go out (wont be enjoyable) postpone or cancel with a full refund. Luckily for us we were here for 2 weeks so we opted to try again the following week im so glad we did, it did not disapoint! The captain was helpful, informative - Soft drinks, water, beer and wine all included along with a tray of sandwiches crisps, snacks and sweets for the kids. We were lucky enough to see some whales and got a chance to do some snorkeling, well worth the money with the added bonus of it being "exclusive" to our family of 6 We also booked jet-ski and parasending with Sarah - no issues Would highly recommend and if was to return to Tenerife would defo use again :)

    Absolute Empfehlung!! Wenn ihr was buchen wollt, kommt unbedingt hier her! Wir wurden echt top beraten, Angebot ist top und die Preise sind echt fair. Unsere private Segeltour z.B. war der Hammer - es war soooo schön, diese wunderschönen Wale aus nächster Nähe zu sehen, ohne sich das Boot mit 50 anderen Touris teilen zu müssen. On top: leider habe ich mir das Bein im Urlaub gebrochen und wir konnten die Hälfte unserer gebuchten Aktivitäten nicht mehr antreten - wir haben 100% Geld zurück bekommen, das ist mehr als fair. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder :) Danke für alles, Kim <3

    Couldn’t recommend Lisa Fay enough for helping me book excursions for our holiday. We booked 4 excursions with Lisa and she sorted everything including transport to and from the activities and managed to book them for the days we had asked for. Lovely woman and was more than happy to help and answer any questions we had. We started off doing the quad tour up mount teide and it was honestly the best experience ever from start to finish. Couldn’t recommend Daniel and Lee enough for making the day even better. Plenty of laughs and chats from start to finish and the most amazing professional pictures taking by Daniel. Two genuine men who love their job and want to make sure you have the best day. Couldn’t thank them enough. Thanks to Lisa we done Siam Park today and had another brilliant day. We have loro Parque and a boat cruise left to do and I would imagine we will have no issues with clear pickups points wrote out for us thanks to Lisa. Made my birthday holiday one to remember. Thank you 🥰
