Gran Canaria's Atlantic location makes it the perfect place to spot dolphins and whales. Hop aboard a ferry and cruise out to sea in search of the creatures. Feel the adrenaline as you catch your first glimpse of the animal, which may even treat you to a show, as they leap and plunge through the water. There's a swim and snorkel stop, as well as a free bar of soft drinks during the stop.

This was the worse boat trip we have ever experienced , we appreciate that you are on open water , BUT we did not expect this to be so rough , almost half of the people on the boat trip were sick ,, including myself and our 4 year old granddaughter ,, Although there were a lot of dolphins to be seen , no one actually saw them as we were all to busy being ill !! We would not recommend this trip to anyone !! The staff were already walking around with sick bags within 10 mins of leaving port

Food was lovely at the hotel 🏨 but there was too much, hotel was amazing staff we're very helpful,but the downside was the flight ✈️ was delayed at Gatwick airport for an hour,Also the flight was delayed Coming home another hour's delay at gran Canariea airport.we didn't get home until quarter to 4 in the morning..

It was an amazing trip all the staff were very friendly and very knowledgeable about explaining what we may see. We were not disappointed saw both dolphins and rare sighting of a Bryde whale which was amazing, we also stopped for snorkelling and swimming which was great Would highly recommended great trip for all ages

I couldn't see alot of dolphins as I was sea sick and felt poorly but the staff were very helpful

Everything was great. It would be nice to have some extra shade areas on the top of the boat. Also more metal handles for people to grab on to. There were some spots on the boat where people would try to go up or down the stairs but there were not many metal bars to grab on to.

first thing that happened was myself my wife and daughter saw flying fish for the firs time. awesome sight and then we found a small group of bottle nosed dolphins that stayed around the boat for some time that 2 was amazing to see them in their natural environment.
