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.

Great boat trip, Blue Bird crew were excellent, we enjoyed the swimming after. Was unsure about changing facilities as we had coach transfer.

A great boat trip. The crew were fantastic. We saw plenty of dolphins. After the swim.stop, we were.on our way back when another breed of dolphin that normally are further out to sea had come.in closer to shore, so we went out again to view them. So I think the captain went above and beyond to maxi the experience.

The dolphin watch was amazing we loved it

Very good trip, lots of people being sick

Erg leuke en informatieve excursie. Personeel van Blue Bird was erg betrokken ( op volle zee controle bij mensen die zeeziek waren en tios6om je beter te voelen). Dolfijnen goed in jun eigen omgeving kunnen zien, ze werden wel met rust gelaten. Tijdens het zwemmen en snorkelen was er voortdurend toezicht. Tijdens deze stop waren er gratis drankjes. Zeker een aanrader.

I will advise customers interested in this trip, Do not go if you do suffer from sea sickness as water does get very choppy out there. But other than that very great day out
