    Brilliant staff customer interaction and support I would absolutely recommend. The boat had about a dozen people on board, felt roomy and there was loads of room to move about. Fabrizio who led to the trip was the perfect host. He was interesting explained things well. His customer care was another level. Looking after our needs and also being super supportive, helping one of my 4 boys through sea sickness, supporting getting him swimming, praised the lad when he went swimming, and ultimately cured his sea sickness. If I come back to Tenerife, I'll book this trip again I highly recommend you do the same.

    Absolutely amazing Staff It's was absolutely amazing. The boat hat around 12 people on we first we Set off from the docks where we met our host, Fabrizio he was amazing explaining everything to us in detail we were lucky to see some dolphins and by the end of the trip you get a meal that mostly concludes of amazingly seasoned chicken thigh, Veggie rice and Roat potato.

    SUNSET View and sunset was amazing! Nice and smooth quad bike drive up the mountain with multiple stops to talk about the mountain and the history of eruptions. Photographer took 500+ photos of everyone for all to download. Was the best experience of my life. If you get the chance do it!
