    A brilliant well priced tour We booked the “ Premium All Inclusive Whale & Dolphin Watching Experience” with these guys and as soon as we had booked they were in communication detailing where to meet and what to bring. This was done by WhatsApp and email which worked really well.The yacht was lovely and we had around 11 people in our group so there was loads of room for us all to spread out.There are seats at the back of the yacht if you prefer or you can sit along the side and front to get the full experience.Our captain was wonderful, explained everything to us and we just chilled as we sailed out of the port.You definitely need sunscreen, you are provided with waters, sodas and beers with a sandwich if you want it.At first we were lucky enough to see dolphins which was amazing and then further out saw baby whales with their mom. Was incredible, I’ll never forget it.Then we sailed to a quiet cove where some people got in for a swim and we just caught some sun.Then a slow cruise back along the coast to port, all in all 3 hrs.Really recommend this cruise, was around €50 each and well worth the money.Will do another tour with them when we return to Tenerife.One thing; they were very clear at the start that We might not see everything and as it’s nature, that can’t be helped. Also you only stay near a group of animals for 5 mins before moving away which felt enough time to see them without it being too much.

    Amazing boat trip This was such a lovely boat ride! Patrick was an amazing guide and super pleasant to be around. We saw pilot whales and a few turtles. The boat does go quite slow, so something to keep in mind if you get sea sick easily as it was very bumpy!

    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!"

    Amazing Service from Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions! We had such a fantastic experience booking our trips through Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. From start to finish, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We booked several activities including Siam Park, a magical stargazing experience, and the Freebird Catamaran trip – and every single one was spot on.Lisafay really knows her stuff – she gave us honest, tailored advice based on what we were looking for, and her recommendations made a huge difference to our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Everything was clearly explained, professionally handled, and her friendly attitude made it a pleasure to deal with her.If you’re in Tenerife and want to book unforgettable excursions with someone you can truly trust, go and see Lisafay at Tenerife First Excursions. She genuinely cares, and it shows. Thanks again, Lisafay – you made our holiday extra special!

    I booked a kayaking and snorkelling trip with Mattie for myself and my stepson but the morning of the trip we all came down with covid!With such short notice I wasn’t expecting a refund but informed them anyway. The company agreed a full refund and the money was transferred to my bank within days. Service over and above I would say!We have booked another holiday in September and will certainly re- book our kayaking trip!

    17 delighted friends We had a wonderful experience - we saw plenty of dolphins and whales. The team in the boat was very nice. We were 17 and they guided us and advice us. They were agile with us as well - we changed our mind and they were very nice. The team was incredible especially Maddie. I do recommend them highly

    Everything was so well organised! We were picked up from our hotel and taken to meet the other groups, given a clear introduction on how to drive the buggies, and then off we went. The guides were fantastic – funny, friendly, and always making sure we were safe on the foreign roads. I noticed some very concerned drivers around us, but the guides managed all the junctions, exits, and routes perfectly. It was thrilling, so much fun, and the views were simply breathtaking. An unforgettable experience!
