Excellent value for money and very conclusive trip around the whole island, exploring historical and cultural landmarks. Small enough group (25ish) to be personal with a guide that was very knowledgeable and friendly, speaking fluent English, German, and Spanish. The recommended lunch was great value and nice and hearty. The driver was skilled and confident when tackling the VERY narrow and steep roads from Masca and getting us back promptly and safe avoiding the congestion on the motorway. Would highly recommend.

Excellent experience. Joel Torres was an enthusiastic and lovely guide who fine-tuned the tour in accordance with our wishes. He shared his detailed knowledge of the Island in a very engaging manner and it was such a pleasure to spend time with him. Highly recommended.

Our Kayak trip was a worthy experience! The services provided by the office in La Caleta, Tenerife were excellent too! We do recommend it! :)

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

Nice when we had the sails up and the captain was experienced.
