    Great boat trip - we saw the whales & dolphins We had a lovely time in the Opera 60, unlike other boat trips there was loads of space and only about 14 guests. We got to see the whales & dolphins and swim in a lovely bay. The Captain was knowledgeable and a little eccentric, he provided drinks and served a lovely lunch of chicken, rice & salad. Having done other boat trips in Tenerife, this is my favourite due to it being so intimate - other boats can pack you in like sardines. This boat on the choppy waves did make some a little sea sick! I’d do this trip again and again :0)
