Of the 180 - 210 minutes that the activity lasts, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m., we will dedicate between 150 - 180 minutes to navigate in search of cetaceans and about 30 - 45 minutes stopped at anchor, to enjoy a swim and snorkel.

- Use of snorkeling equipment
- All fees and/or taxes
- Bottled water
- On-board restrooms
- Carbonated beverages
Additional Information
Embark on a breathtaking cruise for dolphin and whale watching, setting sail from the southwest shoreline of Gran Canaria, in the region between Puerto de Mogán and Maspalomas Lighthouse.
Step aboard one of our catamarans, secure and comfy vessels that, owing to their design, provide a smooth sailing experience, with less sway than a single-hulled boat or smaller catamarans.
Following our voyage in pursuit of cetaceans, we’ll head back to the shore, making a stop for approximately 30 - 45 minutes at Cala del Perchel, Taurito, Tauro or Anfi del Mar, contingent on the locality where we’ve been sailing. During the stopover, you’ll have the chance to take a cooling dip, make use of the snorkeling gear provided as part of the experience, and enjoy a thirst-quenching beverage, before we head back to Puerto Rico to conclude our journey.

Wonderful encounter with dolphins - Very welcoming and friendly staff with a communicative joie de vivre.
Musical atmosphere on the boat and as a bonus, the captain leaves you at the helm to take photos, very rare on other agencies.
We were lucky to see around fifty dolphins.
To book with your eyes closed.
Thanks to the team.

Amazon experience! - We booked through TripAdvisor.
Our hotel was not served by the Shuttle, the organizer offered us to go to one of the closest hotels to be taken there.
A gesture that pleases! (From consideration)
We were able to see the dolphins, on the boat very good atmosphere, a wonderful team and a guide who normally only spoke English or Spanish to add a little French for us!
Another nice gesture.
1 hour of swimming near the boat and free drink.
What more ! An amazing experience!
Thanks to the team

Awesome 😍 it was perfect - It was great, the dolphins were there. Park about a hundred meters before the meeting point because parking is cheaper, 6 euros per day. Arriving near the boat, there is always someone to guide you in Spanish, English, German and even French. Toilet and drink on board. Safety jacket....
Remember to take some things for seasickness because 3 hours of being sick is a long time. Very attentive staff. Souvenir photos 10 euros and 5 euros for a key ring. They don't insist.

Great trip with plenty of dolphin sightings - Great boat trip with a friendly crew. The captain knows exactly what he's doing, we had lots of great views. Dolphins in a pack for an hour - great! We were there as a family with three children (3, 6 and 10 years old). We spent the break in a beautiful bay near Mogán. Here we could snorkel and watch lots of fish in the clear water. The equipment was new and clean and was provided free of charge. Soft drinks were free during the break, but not during the trip. Prices were completely OK though.
Conclusion: nice trip with good chances of seeing dolphins in the wild. Absolutely fair price/performance ratio. Recommended trip for young and old.

Nice tour, but nothing special - We saw lots of dolphins and whales. Soft drinks are included, but no snacks. These can be purchased for a fee.

Really good experience - We left at 10 in the morning and after 30 minutes of sailing out into the open sea, we see a group of dolphins and some of them with young. We saw e.g. a turtle, flying fish and a Portuguese man-of-war.
The bathing stop was quite nice, but not much to see. There were some fish that the staff fed so they got close to the boat. No corals or other animal life to be seen. Bath water temperature was not bad at all - cool but comfortable.
The staff were polite and service minded.
If you get seasick easily, it's a matter of course to take pills for this, as waves can get quite big and some passengers got pretty bad.
But all in all a really good experience and worth recommending.

Nice boat trip, friendly staff - We saw a small group of dolphins, had a swim near caves and got to learn a little about the villages we passed along the coast. Staff is very friendly. Overall a nice boat trip.
