Food served was good and a good choice of cool drinks wines and beers as well.
Excellent stop for swimming and snorkeling with on board equipment.
Excellent trip for all on a very spacious luxurious boat.

The boat looked quite old and worn on the outside. Captain lady was professional. Older crew member guy was rather useless. For the first hour we were not offered any drinks. Was told it was too bumpy but not even offered a bottle of water. We saw dolphins and almost a whale which was a result. We headed towards a small bay to snorkel and eat. We were served lukewarm chicken and rice and stale bread. I had to eventually ask for water and sodas for my children as we were now not moving and sat in the bay. I ended up helping myself as the old Spanish guy was just sat smoking and talking to a Spanish couple! I also asked for a glass of Prosecco which he reluctantly got me. We also arrived back to port 20 minutes early so didn’t get the full 3 hours. Overall very disappointing for the money it cost me.

This is rare negative feedback for this particular trip. Can you email us with more details so we can find out why the service was poor on this occasion?

Fantasic trip. Family of 3 adults and there was only 14 on the boat so plenty of room and seats for everyone. Left the harbour bang on time and within 20 minutes had sighted the whales. Very respectful of distance from them and it was lovely to see. On a bit further to the swimming bay where we had a lovley lunch followed by swimming and snorkelling. Drank plenty of complimentary fizz, crew were very good hosts and entertaining as well. A lovely relaxing afternoon.

The Opera 60 Whale & Dolphin Watching Experience was a fantastic way to spend a day at sea, with all the right touches to make it memorable and comfortable. One thing that made this trip stand out was the unlimited drinks and the warm meal served onboard. Having a delicious, proper meal out on the water added a lot to the experience—it felt like a real day out rather than just a tour. The crew was also generous with drinks, and we enjoyed having something refreshing in hand while soaking in the ocean scenery.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out marine life and sharing interesting facts. Their passion for the ocean was evident, and they ensured everyone got a good view of the animals, respecting the distance from the whales and dolphins. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the crew’s enthusiasm added to the excitement each time we spotted a dolphin or whale.
Overall, this was a wonderful way to see these incredible animals in their natural habitat. It’s a perfect choice for a unique experience with great food, unlimited drinks, and a chance to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. We had a memorable day with wildlife sightings, delicious food, and great company. Highly recommend!

If you are booking a boat trip in Tenerife, this is the best one. The boat is stunning, with plenty of space and so comfortable. Our experience was made even better by our host Fabrizio who gave us a warm welcome and always made sure we never ran out of champagne. We saw dolphins, pilot whales, turtles and also made a stop in a beautiful bay with time to snorkel.
10/10 would recommend.

The best boat trip in Tenerife. It was our a second time on this boat and of course not a last one. We had a very great time on board. A crew was amazing, food very tasty, and we drunk as many prosecco bottles as we could. Very recommended to everyone

Es waren tatsächlich Wale und eine Delphinschule zu sehen. Beeindruckend! Unser Guide konnte die Art benennen und hat außerdem für gute Stimmung an Bord gesorgt. Der Schnorchelausflug war grandios. Es waren unterschiedliche Fischarten zu sehen
