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.

Beautiful, relaxing - Friendly, supportive staff - felt very safe and looked after throughout the trip. Nice opportunities like a professional photo when you get on the boat and a chance to swim behind the boat during a stop (although this was a bit crowded as you could only be behind the boat and only up to 5 meters away, which meant a lot of people treading water in a small space. We saw some dolphins and flying fish, not to mention the beautiful landscape. It was a wonderfully peaceful trip and felt like enough time to really take it all in.

Whale + dolphins 🐬 safari - Very good staffing and experience. Only downside was not controlled by them and it was a lot of seasickness with passengers throwing up. Made the experience a little bit worse for our part.

Fantastic choice of boat trip!lots of Dolphins - Amazing boat trip, we saw loads of Dolphins. The staff are all very lovely and very informative. We had free soft drinks during the time we stopped for a swim in the Sea. The sea was lovely ,we had 45min/1 hr to swim and use of snorkels and floats and a slide on back of the boat., there are lots of fish in the area were we swam. A lovely Clean boat couldn't of asked for a nicer boat trip. And we also had a keyring that had our photo on it from the trip and it only cost 5euros

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

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.

Initially top and then unfortunately flop - The shuttle service worked great, the staff received us very friendly and we were also lucky that it didn't take long before we could see dolphins. In general, and this was rather semi good: whoever arrives by shuttle only gets the seats that remain - i.e. above everything was full. It is best to arrive yourself and arrive half an hour earlier. The absolute low point was unfortunately the snorkeling. After passing beautiful and quiet looking coves, the boat stopped about 100 meters from the shore (rock). There was a pretty small area staked out and like the sardines you could encircle here and again and again the foot of the foreman on the head, snorkeling. But nobody did after 15 minutes because it was way too tight. In advance they advertised that photos should be taken. Yeah, one was shot. I admit I'm not the best subject now, but the photographer I don't think has taken many photos in life yet. The staff was very friendly but this was our first and last trip with the provider. Other boats of the provider were not so crowded. No recommendation
