    Perfect trip An amazing excursion. Such good value, fantastic communication from the booking agent, very clear. The captain Patrick was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip very special. He arranged certificates for my boys and let them steer the boat. We saw lots of whales and they came very close to the boat of their own choice. The lunch stop was great and the snorkeling was fab.

    Buggie tour We zijn bij het hotel opgehaald door de lieve mensen van de buggies, netjes uitleg gekregen over de veiligheid van de buggies etc... daarna snel de weg op richting de vulkaan, prachtige omgeving en super leuk om zelf te mogen rijden. Fantastisch uitzicht en een mega leuke ervaring. We kregen uitleg over de vulkaan en de omgeving, na de dag zijn we weer netjes bij het hotel gebracht. Super!

    The best experience. Myself and my 11 year old son went into the shop in Las Americas and were met with Lorena.. We booked jet skis, quad bike, scuba diving, stargazing and all inclusive Siam park with her and she was amazing. It was our first trip about just us so I wanted everything to be perfect and it was just that.. She gave me every single bit of information I needed to make it as smooth as possible for us. The trips themselves were absolutely fantastic and we made so many memories and had the best time. Thank you Lorena.

    Amazing Day. Oh my goodness what an absolutely AMAZING day we had. If you are going to do this trip definitely get the cable car tickets. The views are stunning. Pictures just can't do it justice,its breathtaking. Enrique was a fantastic guide,his knowledge was amazing and the fact that he told all 3 nationalities on board the coach what we were seeing was above and beyond. Deano the driver was superb,thank goodness he had his formula one driving to call upon round those bends. 😁. Can not fault this trip it was everything that Lisa Fay said it would be and more. If you are thinking of booking a trip find Lisa and book through her at Travel First Excursions.

    Tenerife, I absolutely love it. We went on the buggy trail up to the volcano on the sunset tour it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I will be recommending it to absolutely everybody not only that I’ll be recommending Tenerife first excursions because this wasn’t the only excursion that we booked we also went on the medieval night and one hour jet car we booked in the Los Cris office with Mark instead of trying to sell me things he listen to what I wanted and got straight on with booking there was no upsell just what I wanted and had asked for. he was kind and friendly and made you feel at ease not only that when it got round to pick up everything went smoothly just as it should’ve done I wouldn’t use any other excursion company in Tenerife apart from these guys.Tenerife, I absolutely love it🏝️☀️🏝️🌋

    Excellent, stress free! First visit to tenerife and was keen to do some of the excursions, walked straight into the shop and was helped by the wonderful kim. Gave us multiple choices as to excursions and what they involve. Kim wasn’t pushy and catered to our needs, booked the catarmaran, jet ski, siam park, and sunset quad tour. All excursions were so easy to access and stress free, extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to tenerife to visit here for any of excursions or advice.Thanks again Kim!
