4.2/5
1045 reviews

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.

  • Summary: This dolphin-spotting boat tour offers an exhilarating experience with many dolphin sightings, friendly crew, and stunning marine life. While the boat can be crowded and the snorkeling spot might not be ideal for everyone, the chance to see dolphins and flying fish is unforgettable. The tour is well-organized, but some improvements in communication and snorkeling conditions could enhance the experience.
  • What visitors loved: Friendly and attentive staff. Opportunity to see dolphins up close. Informative guides sharing insights.
  • Worth knowing: Transport can be confusing and poorly communicated. Snorkeling conditions may not meet expectations due to boat movement.

    The staff were friendly and did their best to try and find some dolphins 🐬 sadly we didn't see any but it wasn't their fault. We were met by our coach and shown where to find the boat. My daughter loved sliding into the sea and snorkeling.

    Très bon moment, l'animatrice était chaleureuse et souriante . Notre famille de 26 personnes aurait éventuellement apprécié un tarif de groupe.... La rencontre des dauphins mais aussi des poissons volants nous laissera un souvenir impérissable. Des explications en français sur les dauphins auraient été un plus .

    Ein tolles Erlebnis - Mitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht, den seekranken Gästen mit z.B. kalten Nackenkompressen zu helfen. Irgendwie hat mir etwas Typisches zum Essen bzw. zum Trinken gefehlt und vielleicht etwas landestypische Musik.

    The staff were all very friendly, couldn’t have done any more to help us see the dolphins. They invited us into their cabin to see the dolphins as it was difficult to see as everyone was super excited to see the dolphins. The weather was fantastic and we were treated to see lots of dolphins all around the boat, even babies too which were very cute indeed. Would highly recommend this trip.
