    Amazing week in Tenerife, thanks to Sarah and her team ❤️ We booked all of our trips with Sarah. She was super friendly and felt like a friend. Because we booked quite a few activities we had a lot of money knocked off aswel. LORO PARQUE We did Loro Parque with coach transfer from Los Cristianos. The coach was about an hour and a half. The park itself was amazing. Our main reason for the visit was to see the Orca whales. They didn't disappoint. Beautiful animals. 😍 Note...the park doesn't sell bottles of anything, all drinks are in cans. SIAM PARK NIGHT We queued an hour for the new ride and then rode the lazy river and rapids for an hour. Spent an hour on the beach in the wave machines. Still extremely busy but not hot. Could see some children shivering. We left around 11pm and jumped straight into a taxi. KAYAK TOUR Both instructors were lovely. They take photos and videos and send them for free to your email. It's a long way to paddle to the fish farm but it was totally worth it! We saw turtles and about 15 dolphins swimming past us. Truly amazing. You get to snorkel in a cove which was fun, but the water is very choppy. Definitely take water and suncream. PARASCENDING We loved this! You get taken in a little motor boat to the boat in the ocean. You can't take anything with you for safety but it's all kept in lockers. They take photos which you can purchase for €20 afterwards. 10 minutes flying time and get dipped in the ocean on you way back in. It was so much fun. 15 year old son wanted to do this again! PARAGLIDING Amazing. I had the loveliest guy who talked me through everything. You have to wait at the top of the mountain for a while until the wind is in the right direction. Then you have to run (this was so funny) once you take flight you sit back and relax and take in the view. Again, they take photos and videos of you which you can purchase at the end (€45) The team were lovely and always available by WhatsApp if you have any questions. Thankyou so so much. We had an amazing week in Tenerife. We will book with you next time 🥰
