Terrific Tenerife Twizy Tour!

Fantastic short tour of Tenerife. The Twizy’s were great fun to drive and to get around. Dan was a brilliant guide. Very knowledgable and enthusiastic and happy to answer lots of questions. Highly recommended for those who want a more fun way to explore the less well known parts of Tenerife.

Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat

carderdebbie, May 2026

Great

Lovely boat trip with an even more lovely crew! Sailing from Los Gigantes is a treat in itself and easy to get to. The boat was clean and spacious with a maximum of 10 passengers, which allows for a more tailored experience. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable and the lunch provided was simple but very tasty. I had a great time and would highly recommend this trip to others.

Submarine Tour Tenerife: 1-hour Underwater Experience

Melissa_H, May 2026

A must do 10/10

This was our second time in the yellow submarine and the children loved it. To see all the different fish and life beneath the ocean was amazing. Each passenger gets a seat and headset with an audio guide in your preferred language. Can not fault it, the staff were equally amazing too.

Tenerife: Whale & Dolphin Watching Cruise & Swim, Los Cristianos

Sandra_W, May 2026

Super experience - a must do

From start to finish, enjoyed every part of the experience. Although I opted for pick up, the boat is so easy to find in Los Cristianos harbour. Loved being on a ‘pirate’ ship and it was clearly sailed by a competent team who really did look after everyone. Out for 2 hours, we saw the whales & dolphins and we had the chance to take the ‘plunge’ ….many did & loved it. Big thank you to everyone & Viator for ease of booking as always.

Teide National Park, Dinner, Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour

Elliott_G, Apr 2026

Well organised and professional tour company.

Stargazing part of tour was cancelled due to weather so basing this review on the parts of the trip that were completed. Pickup time and location was clearly communicated, coach comfortable and the tour guide (Craig) was friendly and informative. Despite the stargazing tour being cancelled, on the bus journey home, we were offered refund or rescheduling options which was welcomed.

This was my first ever...

This was my first ever paragliding experience and it was just awesome! Enrique was a great pilot, fun, knowledgable and very passionate about paragliding. He explained how it works, checked in several times to make sure I was okay so I felt completely safe and could simple enjoyed every minute. If I am back in Tenerife, I would love to do this again!

Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience

josie_p, Feb 2026

Unforgettable tour

This was a real wow experience from start to finish. Our tour guide was excellent, sharing fascinating information throughout the tour of Mount Teide and the incredible rock formations surrounding it. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking — and slightly spooky — watching the clouds form below us was unforgettable. The food and atmosphere in the restaurant were lovely and made the evening even more special. The true icing on the cake, however, was the stargazing experience. It was simply amazing.

We were very lucky to see...

We were very lucky to see pilot whales and dolphins very near. Very knowledgeable captain (Ion) made the experience excellent, learnt loads about the wildlife and the island. Very easy to book/arrive etc and was much less invasive to the wildlife than the big loud boats. Thanks so much!

We had a brilliant time,...

We had a brilliant time, saw loads of pilot whales and the guys on the boat knew loads about them! The weather was choppy so it was a bit rough on the boat but they couldn’t have done more to make everyone feel comfortable! It’s the second time I’ve been on this boat and would recommend it to anyone!

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.
