I would like to say a massive thank you for the company, especially the lady who phoned us because we wasn't in the bus stop, so long story short, we mixed up the days and we thought was next day the trip. But they very helpful and gave us the opportunity to meet the bus at the next stop. We made it Back to the trip! It was very experienced driver called Jorge and the guide, Antonio ( called himself Antonio Banderas), was very funny . The places was amazing, enough time to make "Instagram" photos Highly recommending this trip. Wasn't expensive at all for 2 of us and mainly we drove through the centre of Tenerife and down on the west-south side of the island and the guide gave us loads of very useful information about the island.

A really enjoyable day with an excellent guide right from the start to the end of the day. She provided lots of interesting information in her commentary in four languages. Good stops to admire the views and a very nice lunch in the National Park (one of the best we have had on a Canary Islands excursion). One of our party is a vegetarian and has a gluten intolerance the guide ensured that her requirements were catered for.

The tour was amazing! Not overcrowded and you could see whales and dolphins ❤️ I love the idea of “no chase”, these animals are so curious that they are coming so close to the boat and I was so happy to see them free in their own environment where they belong :) highly recommend!

Perfectly organised trip, amazing and knowledgeable captain. We saw a lot of dolphins, turtle. To summarise: highly recommended.

Everything was very good. Staff were amazing speaking multiple languages. Definitely recommend
