4 Hours Eco Safari Tour with Electric Car in Tenerife

Kendra_K, Apr 2026

My 13 yr old son & I absolutely loved this tour!!

I picked this excursion because my 13 yr old son wanted to ride in a twizy. But, it ended up being our favorite one in Tenerife. The cars were super easy & fun to drive plus we covered a lot of ground in the time we were together. Our guide Dan was extremely knowledgable on every aspect of the tour & we learned a lot about the history of the island & its native people which was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour!!

Tandem Paragliding Flight in South Tenerife

Dena_R, Feb 2026

Fantastic experience -DO IT!

Our first flight and what a fabulous team! We had a blast. Picked up from the hotel, picked up the paragliding guys who’d finished their previous flight. Had a great chat with them on the way up the mountain - they made us feel so welcome and relaxed. The flight itself was awesome. My pilot gave great instructions and constantly checked in to make sure I was ok and enjoying the flight. He gave me great tourist advice and restaurant reviews from the air. We flew up to look at the mountain and the tip of Teide in the distance before floating back towards the coast. We took a trip over the ocean which was spectacular before heading back into land. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would 100% recommend Brisa Tenerife.

Teide National Park Sunset Stargazing with Dinner (Star Safari)

Shaun_S, Feb 2026

Star Gazing

An excellent trip. Obligatory hotel pickups then onto Mt Tiede. Do not worry if you think it’s too cloudy as you’re about to go through the clouds and see a wonderful view of “Life above the clouds!” Wonderful views looking back down with a carpet of clouds beneath you! Onto the restaurant for a nice 3 course meal. “Use to toilet here or you’ll regret it!” Then onto the observation point. It gets cold at the observation point! Wear suitable clothing! Our hosts provided warm clothing if needed! You would not have had, more knowledge of the night sky if Patrick Moore/Brian Cox had been showing us the Stars and “WOW” there are a lot of them!! There were 4 telescopes, all set up and pointing at the same place! So even though you may have to wait to have a look, it was never very long. All in all a brilliant trip! *****

Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience

Olena_F, Jan 2026

Worth a trip

Great tour to see Teide park and enjoy stars! Tour is well organized, you get to see lots of nice spots in the park during the day, catch sunset above clouds, enjoy dinner and see night sky in one go. Shout out to our guide Izabella who was very informative and made us laugh all the way! It’s a pity that we had full moon that day so we saw less stars than expected but overall experience is still nice.

Whale Watching Eco-Adventure from Costa Adeje

Sue_R, Jan 2026

A fantastic 2 hours

We booked this experience in advance as we were on a Canary Island cruise and didn't want to miss this opportunity after reading previous excellent reviews. We docked at Santa Cruz and took a local bus to Costa Adeje and made out way to the meeting point. Our captain/guide met us as arranged together with 7 others. Once onboard we ventured out into the ocean and within 20 minutes we were spotting whales! We carried on and saw more and more. Suddenly dolphins appeared - jumping up, playing and swimming beside us! It was a fantastic 2 hours! A day which will live with me forever. If any reader has doubts then just book it and see for yourself.

Amazing!

An amazing experience whether young or more mature. Special thanks to Mike, my pilot, who held my trust and confidence, was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and gave very clear instructions. The team were friendly and the service was great. A great way to see some of the island from the air. I loved the experience and would definitely recommend.

Sunset and Stargazing Experience from Teide

Mayra_S, Jul 2025

Amazing night sky

It started with an on-time pickup by our lively and friendly tour operator, Ozzy, then a lovely local lunch with roasted chicken, wrinkled potatoes (their specialty) with a small salad and various mojos, also a specialty. Then off to go up around 1400 meters in Teide National Park to watch the sunset above the clouds and take lovely pictures (extra charge). From there we went up to 2000 meters to get ready to star gaze. Lots of equipment set up was necessary, but they were organized and had a contact with a truck offering hot chocolate, beer, wine and snacks (extra charge) I would highly recommend a jacket or sweatshirt as the temps dropped. There was a very large group (the only issue I would have as it was a bit too large), so while one was star gazing, the other was taking a second set of pictures with the mikyway right behind, amazing! (Also extra charge). We learned quite a bit about the night sky, say shooting stars and even satellites moving around. It’s unbelievable how much is visible under such a dark sky. Would recommend.

Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes

Whale watching with Antonio

We had the most amazing time on the sailing boat. The excursion group consisted of my partner and me, 3 other passengers and Antonio. He was very knowlegdeable and provided us with lots of facts and information about the island, the sea and the whales. We saw a beautiful pod of tropical pilot whales and afterwards snorkeled in a place with beautiful fishes. The snacks provided were very nice. I really recommend this trip to others!
