    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.

    Amazing experience We went at 9:30 since we heard that the animals are more active earlier in the day. The tour was almost private, there were five of us in total, including the captain which was very knowledge and nice. We had been sailing for probably 20 minutes when we saw some bottlenose dolphins and one of them even came up to the boat. As we continued we spotted a turtle but it disappeared rather quickly. Then we sailed to a known pilot whales area where we stopped for a while and spotted around 10 whales. Finally we sailed to a bay, on our way there we saw some more dolphins. There we stopped for drinks and sandwiches, stayed there for 30 minutes and then returned back, very happy with the amount of animals spotted.Side note: even though it's warm outside, make sure to bring something warm with you because it gets cold when sailing.

    A boat trip on board the Ragnorok seeing the whales and dolphins. Before travelling to Tenerife we had decided this year we would like to go on a boat trip, we had a total of 10 members in our party with 2 being children.We walked past the kiosk a couple of times and spoke with Mattie who offered us a variety of trips, although we knew we wanted to go on a boat we were struggling to pick which one. Mattue was great in helping us decide and we narrowed it down to 2 options, we decided upon the Ragnorok as it would be more fun for the children. On the day of our trip we arrived to the port ready to board, all the crew were dressed up and in character which I think was brilliant, the whole 3 hours went by so quick but the crew never broke character once and I can honestly say we had one of the best days in Tenerife. We were lucky enough to see a pod of whales and had a good laugh being sacrificed to the sea by the crew. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone and to book with Tenerife first excursions is a must, great helpful staff who have given us a great memory until we return.
