    Beautiful trip and amazing crew! I wanted to organize a beautiful experience for me and my boyfriend. Patricia helped me so much with that! She recommended us to get smaller, more private boat, so we could enjoy better our company. The trip was truly amazing - we saw dolphins, chilled on the boat with beautiful views and swim in a turquoise water. Trip was organized very well, Patricia gave us all needed information, so we arrived to the harbor without stress.

    Lovely boat trip and a fantastic experience We had a great trip on the Atlantic Star and saw two different family pods of Pilot whales, including a really large male swimming right next to the boat. The captain and our host were really knowledgeable and friendly. They made our 8year old feel really comfortable when feeling a little worried about the trip. We missed out on seeing any dolphins but that is just the chance that you take. We’d recommend the trip to everyone

    Great Excursion We booked our excursion through Lindsay at San Andreas. She was very helpful and informative on the different trips available to what we were looking for. We booked 2 trips: Night Sian and Coach trip to Mount Teide. Both were very good. The mount Teide trip was an all round visit to Mount Teide and then to the North of the island. We visited serval places with stops no longer than 45 mins. If you would like to see more of the Island I would recommend this trip.

    Made our holiday The most amazing experience. Pick up was easy and on time, you then drive to the restaurant. Food is incredibly basic but you don’t go to an excursion like this for food. We then went up into the national parks before sunset to enjoy a glass of cava and take pictures above the cloud line. From there, we went up further to observe the night sky- no spoilers. Incredible experience, the best thing we did this holiday. The guys are so knowledgeable, answer any of your questions, and help you see through the telescopes. You can tell they are so passionate about their jobs, it is their hobby too. Don’t hesitate. Book this if you’re in Tenerife.
