    Great half day, bring layers! It was an enjoyable half day excursion, with lovely scenery, very good driver and guide and a good amount of stops along the way. I knew the weather was going to be rainy so opted for an excursion instead of the beach/hotel pool and glad that I did this one. The weather is several degrees colder in the mountains so good idea to bring layers! Four stars as the pick up was late by 10 minutes but that was likely due to the rain causing road traffic.

    Guter Quadeinsteigerkurs Alles ingesamt erfreulich. Wer noch keine Erfahrungen mit Quads hat, kann sich auf ein gutes Training freuen. Die Quads lassen sich leucht fahren, da sie automatisch schalten .. also einfach fahren. Dennoch unterschätzt die Sache nicht .. vorsichtig fahren .. 2 drei Stellen waren nicht ganz einfach für Anfänger. Lasst Euch nicht von Touristen ärgern, die behaupten, dass die Bikes Mist wären. Kleinere Benzinmotoren können schnell mal absaufen oder andres .. Wenns garnicht geht findet ihr mit den freundlichen Team sicher eine Lösung, dass ihr an einem andren Tag noch mal fahren dürf. Die Leute sind nett und bemüht. Mit nur meckern, wurde noch nie was erreicht.

    A great day Whale Watching This turned out to be a great day. The crew were all very sweet , helpful and friendly and we actually got to see 13 whales that day on April 19th, 2023. The boat was large enough where everyone got a seat or a place to watch. We are vegan, and pre-ordered a vegan meal of Paella, and it was tasty. They had a swim session at the endl. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour.

    Absolutely fantastic experience and advice from Tenerife First Excursions. Daniel and any of his team I met were absolutely lovely. Through them, on two trips now, I went paragliding (for first time), Taide star gazing experience, rented mopeds, took an afternoon whale & dolphin cruise, and had wonderful food and nightlife recommendations.

    I could not recommend these guys enough ✨ We did this on one of our last days just to spread all our excursions out! It was absolutely amazing! The tour guides were so lovely and made sure we were safe but enjoying it at the same time. The views were breath taking! I would recommend to anyone going to Tenerife! We also had 3 other excursions booked (self hire boat, sun set tour and clear kayaking) with the team and they were all amazing! Dan booked us in for them all and he was so lovely! Made sure they were all worth our while! We had one excursion cancelled due to the weather and the team were amazing made sure we had our money back straight away and offered other excursions! The whole team are so helpful and active on socials if you needed to contact them. I can not recommend Tenerife first excursion enough! (Especially Dan in Los Cristos) Thank you so much we will definitely be using you guys again on our next trip to Tenerife ✨
