    Lovely dolphins and whales :) The boat tour was great we were lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins and pilot whales. The views were amazing. For me was my first experience going into the open water and I discovered myself that I get motion sickness so if you haven’t been into a boat before, I recommend you to get some tablets beforehand just in case. Everything else was amazing and will do try it again in some future.

    10/10 My friend used Tenerife first excursions and they were so efficient, giving the best advice on what to do for whatever we booked. We booked a few things through, she used WhatsApp and Daniel was so quick to reply to any queries she had. we decided last minute to go Siam Park and he got us VIP tickets for the next day when Siam website didn’t have tickets available for 8 days. We wanted to book a boat and it was booked within minutes through them. Anything we wanted to do we booked through them. They made the whole process so simple and easy, highly recommend!

    Memories for a lifetime with Night Skies Tenerife Night Skies Tenerife gave us the most amazing experience on Tenerife! You get so much more with this tour than you’d think from the Trip Advisor explanation - least of not is the energy of Craig and the knowledge of Kieran. Between dinner and star gazing we saw an amazing sunset over La Palma from the Corona forest, complete with Cava and photographs by Craig. Craig helped us learn all about the island on the way to the sunset spot and to the star gazing spot, which my husband and I loved. Once we arrived for star gazing, Kieran helped us learn all about our solar system, the life cycle of stars, and the constellations while allowing us to see what he was teaching through the microscope (we even got to see two deep space galaxies!)Do not miss this experience when you’re on the island, but do specifically book Night Skies. Their service and knowledge (including giving you the photos they take for free and not charging for them at the end of the night) cannot be beat.Thank you for adding this amazing experience to our honeymoon Kieran, Craig, and the full night skies crew!
