    Perfect service. Helpful in recommending activities and sorting them out at a great price. Quad Biking up Mount Teide at sunset was an incredible experience and one we wouldn't have done if not for Daniels' recommendation. Fantastic people and service.

    We recently went on a dolphin watching boat trip arranged by this company. It was an amazing experience! Although we had initially booked a boat with a glass bottom, unfortunately it was not available on the day we went. However, Kim was extremely helpful and accommodating, and she made sure we still had a great time. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Despite the boat being smaller than we had anticipated, there were only a few people on board besides us, which made it feel more exclusive and personalized. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. Although the food was a bit plain, it was a minor issue compared to the wonderful experience we had watching the dolphins. The crew also shared some interesting facts about the local marine life and ecosystem, which added to the overall educational value of the trip. I highly recommend this dolphin watching tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience, and I especially want to thank Kim from the agency for her exceptional service. The crew was great, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Thank you to the team for arranging this fantastic experience!
