Opera 60 na Tenerifu

The Opera 60 Tenerife is a shared 3-hour whale and dolphin watching trip from Puerto Colón, gate 0, in Costa Adeje. The boat is an approximately 20-metre RIB limited to 12 guests, and the trip includes lunch, drinks, a weather-dependent swim stop and snorkelling equipment.

A maximum of 12 guests plus the crew. It is a shared trip, not a private one, but the unusually small passenger count for a 20-metre boat means everyone has space to sit, move around and see the animals without crowding.

Yes. The Opera 60 operates as a licensed whale watching boat with the official Blue Boat authorisation. That means calm approach speeds, respectful distances and engines in neutral when whales or dolphins are close.

No. Sightings are very common because Tenerife's southwest coast has resident pilot whales and regular dolphin visits, but this is a natural environment and no honest company can guarantee wildlife. The crew knows the area well and searches the best spots on every departure.

Lunch normally includes chicken, vegetable rice, salad and bread, and the exact dishes can vary by day. Drinks normally include water, soft drinks, beer, white wine and cava, served during the trip. It is good, straightforward excursion food, not gourmet fine dining.

Yes, families join regularly and the crew is great with kids. Children aged 3 to 11 pay a reduced child rate, and children under 3 travel free when they are mentioned in the order notes during booking, so the crew can plan safely.

Yes, when sea and weather conditions allow, the trip includes a swimming stop in sheltered water, often around the calm bay of El Puertito. Snorkelling equipment is on board and free to use, and the crew keeps watch while guests are in the water.

Yes, the boat has a toilet and a changing space. Shoes are removed on boarding and stored safely. The Opera 60 is not wheelchair accessible due to limited space on board.

The trip departs from Puerto Colón, gate 0, in Costa Adeje, daily at 10:00 and 13:30, with a possible 16:30 departure in summer. Arrive 10 minutes before departure: the boat leaves on time, and late arrivals count as no-shows under the cancellation policy.

Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a light layer, because it can feel cooler at sea even on warm days. Eat lightly before boarding and go easy on alcohol beforehand, it noticeably reduces the chance of seasickness.

It is possible, as on any boat: the Atlantic can be choppy. Eat lightly, limit alcohol before boarding, sit toward the middle of the boat and watch the horizon. Tell the crew early if you feel unwell, they handle this every week. Seasickness does not qualify for a refund.

You reserve your Opera 60 seats with a small deposit online and pay the remaining balance on the day, before boarding. Club Canary confirms fast and a local team is available every day on WhatsApp for changes and questions.

Yes, the same boat runs as a private Opera 60 charter for families, groups and special occasions. Club Canary recommends booking private dates early, because the scheduled shared departures can block availability quickly.

No. Fabrizio is often part of the Opera 60 crew and has become one of the experience's best-known personalities, but crew assignments vary by departure, so his presence cannot be guaranteed. If he is on board, ask him how the Opera boats came to Tenerife.

Numbers. Large whale watching catamarans in Tenerife often carry 60 to 100 passengers, while the Opera 60 takes a maximum of 12 on a 20-metre boat. That means room to move, a clear view for everyone and a personal atmosphere instead of a queue at the railing.

If the trip is cancelled for unsafe weather or sea conditions, you choose between rescheduling to another day or a full refund. Club Canary handles this directly with you, no discussion needed.

Options are limited because the meal is prepared for the whole boat, so extensive customisation is not possible. Contact Club Canary before booking with your dietary needs and we honestly tell you what is realistic for your date.
