“We had a wonderful day with Johnnie. Firstly he checked how we would like to spend our day. We did not try to see everything the island has to offer and Johnnie made sure that we could spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. I would advise people not to dash about and try to see everything. We made 3 main stops and each of them could have taken a whole day. They provided a tempting taster of the beautiful destinations that Tenerife has to offer. As a special treat he took us to a Guachinche to experience an authentic Canarian meal which we would never have…”

“Guillaume is highly recommended. He gave easy to follow instructions about the pickup and dive; and mostly importantly, he calmed my nerves. My partner and I did very well with his instruction and reassurance. He is funny, knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely will scuba dive with him again if i visit.”
Private Mount Teide astronomy with sunset toast, picnic snacks, pro telescopes, and live Andromeda astrophotography from south Tenerife.
“As soon as you leave the city, the scenery becomes beautiful—and the higher you go, the better it gets, until you're above the clouds, like on a plane. The guide is amazing: friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. They share curious facts, answer questions, and know exactly how to interact with each group. The trip is comfortable thanks to their van, and the stop at a local trattoria (delicious, meat-based food) makes the short ride even more enjoyable. At the viewpoint, you’ll witness a breathtaking sunset above the clouds, followed by a sky full of stars just minutes later. The team provides excellent gear for stargazing and astrophotography, and they explain…”

Private Beneteau Antares 42 boat charters from Tenerife with pickup, all drinks and snacks, plus snorkel gear and sea toys.
“Unfortunately the charter time was running an hour late. The gate pick up changed also. You have to keep checking the emails to see updates. A family got off and we were on right away. Some of the seats were wet. The boat has a lot of wear and tear on it and some seats are coming away at the seams and have very little padding left. This boat does need an over hall and up grade. The staff were great in particular Danny. He was attentive and knowledgeable and a good host. The snacks were good. We’ve done many trips like this in other countries and the standards are…”
