It publishes about the island and sells excursions to the people who read it, which is the reverse of how the trade has traditionally worked on this coast and is increasingly how it works everywhere.

FAQ
What is different about booking here?
It publishes about the island and sells to its own readership, so what it offers arrives with a stated opinion attached rather than as an undifferentiated list. You can read the opinion before deciding whether to trust it.
Where is it based?
Los Cristianos, the port town at the centre of the southern coast and where a large share of the island's boat trips depart from.
Does it operate its own excursions?
It sells trips run by operators rather than running them. That is the normal arrangement, and it means questions about a specific vessel or guide should be asked before booking.
Is a recommendation from an agency trustworthy?
Treat it as a starting point. An agency earns commission on what it sells, so the honest way to use one is to take the shortlist and then check the operators on it independently.
What sort of excursions does it cover?
The usual southern-coast range: boat trips, island tours, park tickets and activities. The distinguishing part is the editorial around them rather than the catalogue itself.
How far ahead should I book?
A few days for most things, longer over Christmas, New Year and Easter. Weather-dependent trips are better booked once you can see a forecast.
