About this activity

Experience marine wildlife in luxury aboard Opera 60, Tenerife's largest premium RIB—a 20-metre speedboat with capacity limited to 25 passengers per trip for comfort and space. This 3-hour excursion from Fasnia offers realistic chances to spot pilot whales, dolphins, and sea turtles in warm Atlantic waters, plus a swimming stop and onboard meal.

OPERA 60 is the largest and most spacious luxury RIB (rigid inflatable boat) in Tenerife.

It is 60 feet (almost 20 meters) long, and has two 740 HP VOLVO PENTA engines.

This giant RIB boat has been designed with style. It has a cosy atmosphere and is equipped with a high-quality speaker systems to ensure you can enjoy your favourite music. There are plenty of seating areas, sunbeds, and tables on board so there's a lot of room for everyone to spread out and feel at home.
The capacity is 45 people per trip but Opera 60 only sails with up to 25 passengers on private charters or on shared trips with the same amount. This ensures that you'll always have enough space without feeling too cramped.
During the excursion, you may get to see some of the amazing marine life in Tenerife waters such as whales and dolphins. If you go on a boat trip, there's a good chance that you'll see pilot whales. These creatures inhabit the warm waters and feed off giant squids. You may also see other larger whales passing through, as well as some dolphins and turtles.

You'll also have time to relax when the anchor will be lowered near the coast for a stop near the water that offers opportunities for swimming or exploring underwater thanks to our own equipment like snorkeling gear. Delicious food will be served before you start your journey back towards port while keeping close to land, so you can enjoy views of Tenerife's natural beauty including wildlife and stunning coastlines from our vantage point at sea.
We want every one of our clients to feel like they're VIPs. So join us onboard for an amazing experience.
