    We booked a 4.5h whale + dolphin watching tour through TFE, and Sue was very helpful with all the details. The tour ended up happening via Freebird catamarans (dunno if directly or using their boats), and I was a little skeptical since there were old reviews of bad experiences, but our trip was very pleasant. We managed to snag one of the first sunbeds (first come basis when you board the boat for 25EUR, very much recommend this), so we got to enjoy a beautiful view of the island and Los Gigantes, and a ride on the waves. The captain said the ride is a bit choppy, but it didnt seem too bad - all our stuff stayed in place, just make sure to put something heavy on your towels if you get up so the wind doesnt blow them away. We were served a nice rice+chicken lunch, and had access to free drinks. The crew entertained us with excellent music selection, and on the way back we managed to watch pilot whales for about 20 minutes, quite close at times (captn said 99% chance of seeing whales when we went in November). Our only "complaint" is that we wish more time was spent with the animals, but I think we just need a different tour for that - this was 90% relaxing, sightseeing, and swimming (which we still thoroughly recommend)

    Mike and Ross at Tenerife First Excursions are absolutely fantastic - they are both friendly and professional.

    Both Mike and Ross speak perfect English and Spanish. They really do their best to find fun activities at fair prices. I'm delighted with the customer service experience.

    I'd also like to give a special mention to Matty for being a great manager. Matty always prioritises customer satisfied, so I am confident that if you book an activity through Mike, Ross or Matty, you will have a lot of fun at a fair price with a positive customer experience.

    I will definitely come back to Tenerife First Excursions when I am back in Tenerife!
