    Self drive boat - 3 hour trip This is definitely worth booking! If we came back again to Tenerife we would definitely go again. The instructions for the boat are very easy to follow and the hosts were lovely people. They also provided a speaker, various swimming equipment (snorkels, flippers and underwater jet etc) as well as snacks, water and a cool box for your own use which we found was a very nice touch! Would definitely recommend buying and taking sea sickness tablets before you go however, as the sea is unpredictable especially in such a small boat. This is obviously no fault of the company and we still had fun none the less! Thank you guys!

    Amazing What an amazing few hours. Many thanks to our skipper Guy, who made it a fantastic experience.His passion for the sea and its wildlife is extraordinary.We were lucky to see some dolphins and whales, but the trip was so much more than that.Our group has been on the much larger boat tours, but we won’t be doing that again, the smaller boat was so much nicer.The weather meant that Guy was able to cut the engines and sail for a while.100% recommend this trip.Many thanks.

    I booked a private boat charter with a very pleasant young man called Mattie, it was affordable, professional and certainly good value for money! Would definitely recommend Tenerife First Excursions. Great day out was had by all! Thanks again and see you next year!

    Birthday Trip We took a walk along the beach one morning and happened to pass by your shop, where we were greeted by the charming young man, Daniel. We mentioned that we were interested in a boat trip to see whales and dolphins, as it was my husband's 60th birthday, and he recommended the 'Freebird' boat trip. He offered us the option of a 4.5-hour trip, but we chose the shorter 3-hour one, which was perfect for us. The trip was fantastic – it included a meal, a swim stop, and, most importantly, we did see whales!We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely recommend your company, especially Daniel, who was so helpful. We also met his partner, who was working as the receptionist at the hotel where we stayed – she was lovely as well. Thank you for making our day so special!"

    Best experience This is my second time doing this with this company and my sons first time and as before it was a fantastic experience. From going down to book with Dan in first excursions when we arrived to the pick up flight and drop off everyone was extremely friendly and helpful would definately recommend for everyone to try this at least once 😍
