Royal Delfin staff were very good. Only concern we had was the email the day before saying to bet at Pier 12 at 12o’clock, but our pick up at the hotel, quite some distance away was also at 12 0’clock. It was at this time the TUI app stopped working, and as it was an e-ticket didn’t have access to any phone numbers to call.

Poor food, meatballs in sauce, rice and a bread roll was restrictive and a lot of people couldn’t eat it, me included, a cold buffet with a choice should have been offered. The only thing that let this great trip down.

Then later on some fab dolphins who jumped out of the water across the surf from boat and then swam in front. Finished with a sunset, full moon, a local.liquer,dancing and singing..well I was!

We were under the impression that it was a whale and dolphin watching tour. We saw some pilot whales after lunch and swimming but after about 1 and a half hours it turned in to a sightseeing tour of Los Gigantos with no apparent attempt to find dolphins. If we had known that we would have not booked or would have booked a sightseeing tour.

Felt the boat was overcrowded. You couldn’t relax as people were pushing you to get more of a view. More standing room as seats were overloaded. Information that you were given was excellent. If you are going from the north of the island it did take 2hours. There was a stop on the way. But the driver didn’t say anything so we had to guess what was going on . No guide or travel rep on board the coach. An earlier start would have been ideal

There's a pit stop at Chirche viewpoint, which often overlooks cloud-shrouded terrain below. The scenery around here is still bursting with greenery.

Teide National Park Tour with Expert Local Guide

Tenerife is a medley of picture-postcard villages, high-octane viewpoints and otherworldly landscapes. And nowhere more so than in Teide National Park. On this full day tour, you'll wind your way up the slopes of Mount Teide volcano, where an optional cable car ride can take you to the summit. Juana, one of our expert local guides, says, "Teide National Park and the surrounding Corona Forestal Nature Reserve together account for one third of Tenerife's land mass – the extent to which the volcano dominates our island is indescribable."Dramatic volcanic landscapes await as you venture into Teide National Park to see the showstopper itself – the 3,700-metre Mount Teide. As you climb, you'll pass through four different climate zones, which create an ever-changing kaleidoscope of terrains, flora and fauna. And because of its geological importance, the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Juana says, "The park boasts a variety of camera-grabbing landscapes. There's the scorched earth of the lava fields, the jagged rock formations of Roques de Garcia, the Mars-like badlands around Montaña Rajada and the pine forests of the Corona Forestal."As an optional extra, you can avail of the cable car service to just below the summit of the volcano. From this altitude, weather permitting, you can enjoy head-spinning views over Tenerife and the rest of the Canary archipelago jutting up from the Atlantic.

Southern Tenerife sightseeing tour with wine-tasting

Dramatic landscapes and rugged, volcanic shores come as standard in Tenerife. But, not a lot is said about the rich agriculture the island offers. On this tour, you'll journey through the south and get to know the island's culture and identity. You'll see how aloe vera is grown and learn about its many uses at a plantation, explore the lofty village of Vilaflor de Chasna and sample local wines. Ivan, one of our expert local guides, says “Vilaflor was once called Chasna. But, when a ship captain called Pedro de Bracamonte visited, he spotted a beautiful Guanche girl and shouted Vi la flor de Chasna, which means I've seen the flower of Chasna – after this, the village got its name.”The dry climate and year-round sunshine in the Canaries mean that aloe vera thrives here, even though it is not a native species – it originally came from the Arabian Peninsula. You'll take a guided tour of the plantation, and the owners will share their knowledge about the curative powers of this well-known plant, which is used for medicinal purposes in cultures throughout history.Next, you'll visit Vilaflor. Perched on the southern slope of the island's volcano, Mount Teide, the views down to the coast from 1,400 metres above sea level are next level. The village has an almost Alpine feel that's totally different from the tropical coastline – it has the largest pine forest in the Canaries on its doorstep. After a look around the village, you'll visit an award-winning family-owned winery and sit down for a tasting.
