    Wunderbarer Bootsausflug Ein sehr gelungener Ausflug (wenn man den Wellengang verträgt :D) Der Tourleiter ist sehr humorvoll und locker und wertet dadurch die Tour nochmal auf. Wir haben einige Wale und Delfine gesehen. Der Anblick auf dem Meer war einfach traumhaft. Das Boot bietet reichlich Platz und Möglichkeiten sehr schöne Fotos zu schießen. Der Badestopp war sehr schön und das Essen war sehr gut! Es wurde sogar Essen für Vegetarier angeboten, sehr schön. Alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert, Top!

    Great Company Nothing is too much trouble for Daniel and his team, fantastic range of tours and activities and I'm sure if you made one up they would find a way for you. We took a helicopter flight on this trip, the booking process was so simple. The flight itself was amazing and would definitely recommend. Make these guys your first stop off the plane to max out your holiday.

    The Best Jet Ski Experience First time booking a jet ski experience with Tenerife First Excursions and by a mile it was the best one we’ve been on. Due to a poor experience with a different company on our previous visit I decided to do things differently this time. I contacted Tenerife First Excursions through WhatsApp while still in the UK. Roxie responded within minutes with all the information I needed, such as price list, the best day to go for best weather conditions and what steps to take when booking. Once we decided to book the 1 hr trip, Roxie sent me the payment link and within 10 minutes of contacting them, it was booked I was sent the invoice on WhatsApp, which you will need to show on the day along with photos of your id or passport details. I was sent all the details of where to go for the meeting point and once we were in Puerto Colon, it was easy to find. The lads on the boat from Extreme Skis were brilliant and made sure everyone on the trip was looked after whatever experience they had. The jet ski was the best one I have been on and was in immaculate condition, we had the best fun. Have no worries about booking with this outfit, whether you are already on Tenerife or before you fly out. It was a straight forward experience and a brilliant morning on the jet ski. We won’t book with anyone else.

    Awesome can’t recommend enough! Booked all of our excursions through LisaFay who was absolutely amazing. We booked Siam Park, the jet cars, the sunset quad trip and she chucked in free monkey park tickets which was brilliant as we was planning on going anyway! Can’t thank Lisa and the team enough we lost our tickets and she was amazing reassuring us that we could still complete the excursions and assured us that the tour providers were aware we would have photos of the tickets rather than the physical ticket. The sunset quad tour was absolutely breathtaking, we got picked up from our hotel fully safety briefed on driving the quads which was really helpful as we were both a little anxious due to never driving one before. As we drove up towards mount Teidi we stopped off at various different view points and were given water and snacks and then non-alcoholic Prosecco to watch the sunset. The guys that took us up who worked for Tenerife first quads were awesome giving us facts about the surroundings as we stopped. Can’t recommend this excursion enough to anyone visiting Tenerife. Thank you so much to the team at Tenerife first excursions enough for being so brilliant and will 1000 percent use them the next time we visit Tenerife!
