    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.

    My girlfriend and I were wondering from Las Américas to Adeje and were flagged down by Kim Lory at the ticket stand asking what we have planned for our week. She was so friendly and helpful, we ended up buying tickets to Siam Park and a Buggie trip to Mount Teide and we enjoyed both immensely, it really made our time away a time to remember. Hats off to Kim, she sorted us right out, guided us with our best interests at heart and is a credit to the company. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

    Buggy ride Went on the off road buggy experience and it was awesome 😀 very dusty as you're on dirt tracks but an amazing thrill. You have to drive on the roads to get there, then blast around the dirt tracks before driving around Las Americas on your way back to base. I highly recommend it for anyone of any age (I'm 55!) And not expensive either 😍

    Fantastic Customer Service! We came across an issue whilst on the island (which wasn’t the fault of the business or owner). The owner reached out and was not only professional but very welcoming. He was able to put us at ease and ensure that our remaining time on the island was enjoyed. My family and I can’t thank him enough for his kindness and we look forward to booking lots of excursions when we return to the island. Keep up the FAB work Daniel and the team!!

    3h whale watching excursion with pick up from Los Cristianos.
    Unfortunately, my wife was taken ill the morning of our trip, and at very short notice we had to cancel. Rescheduling I thought would be almost impossible at such short notice, so I understood/expected we would lose the money paid out for the trip, or so I thought…. I would like to say a massive thank you to Sahar, who is an absolute star, and after much effort on her part actually managed to rearrange the trip for later in the week. We really appreciate Sahar’s help, total respect.
    The whale watching trip was fun and amazing, many a spotted dolphin and pilot whale were seen. All in all, a very professional service from start to finish. My thanks to everyone involved.
