Review of Tenerife’s 4-hour Twizy electric car safari, with village stops, banana plantations, local food, views, practical tips, and value advice.
“It might not look like much, but the tour guide turns it into something special. Going through the ups and downs of the island, he will take you into some cool places like the roadside cafe with a drink baronqueto, spelling might be off , which was amazingly good considering I’m not a coffee drinker, historic old church and pottery house. When following the gps, follow the sign on the wall of the main road to get to the hotel, 2 turns after gps says so. He now’s his stuff, thank you”
Review of Tenerife’s Mount Teide quad bike safari, with route details, costs, safety tips, clothing advice, and who should book.
“This was a well organised trip on a quad bike for two up to Mount Teide. We were picked up and dropped off also at our hotel. Safety came first and we appreciated that. The only thing which you should know is that warm clothing is a must. They rent out a heavy jacket for four euros and also gloves. Maybe bring them with you as you’ll need them. Gloves are an absolute must for the driver.”
Explore La Gomera from Puerto de la Cruz by ferry and Jeep, with Garajonay, village stops, local food, and Silbo Gomero.
“Wir hatten einen tollen Fahrer. Nicht immer auf den gleichen Straßen wie alle anderen unterwegs. Es war eine kleine Gruppe in einem guten Auto mit genügend Platz. Tolles Erlebnis”
Review of Tenerife’s Puerto Colón snorkel safari, with speedboat views, clear water, marine life, gear, costs, and practical tips.
“Dit gaat over de snorkemtour, niet het duiken. De gids in het water was behulpzaam en vriendelijk. ook het persoon op de speedboot was vriendelijk. Het personeel in het centrum zelf sprak soms amper engels en sommige worstelde met een kater. De uitleg was initieel beperkt en het materiaal was versleten of van lage kwaliteit (een stoffen elastiek met een soort vaste lus, waardoor de snorkel op je achterhoofd hing). De duikinstructeurs waren behulpzaam en gaven uiteindelijk meer uitleg. De snorkelplek zelf was eigenlijk weinig speciaal, in vergelijking met andere snorkeltours op tenerife. Het is wel een plekje waar je alleen biet makkelijk komt.”
Review of the 5-hour Teide Jeep Safari from Playa de las Americas, with route details, guide quality, value, timing, and practical booking advice.
“La visite était très bien mais quand le conducteur parle Anglais et essaye de nous expliquer les endroits.... on n'y comprends rien. Pas 1 mot de français,il n'y peut rien, Il était très sympa mais nous avons payé pour un guide français. On s'est arrêté 3 fois donc le guide français (qui conduisait d'autres personnes) nous a expliqué lors de ces arrêts mais majoritairement nous sommes dans la voiture donc ça enlève tout l'intérêt de la visite. J'ai quand même mis 3 étoiles parce qu'ils viennent nous chercher à l'hôtel donc ça c'est vraiment hyper top ! donc aux organisateurs, prévoyez un minimum une bande son enregistré en français aux…”
