Overview

There are few experiences as wonderful as enjoying the spectacle of animals in their natural environment and without a doubt being able to see dolphins and whales up close is one of the most impressive. Sometimes there will be a few and sometimes there will be thousands of them but it's always fascinating

On our excursions you can see from the small common dolphin to the largest animal that has lived on the earth; the blue whale. But you will also have the possibility to see turtles, flying fish and other marine species.

You can see the beautiful coast from another perspective and you will also have the possibility to swim in the sea if you want.

    What To Expect

    Explore the waters of Gran Canaria and discover the wonderful world of cetaceans. This island is one of the most important places in Europe for marine diversity, with around 30 species, including dolphins, whales, orcas and porpoises. These incredible animals breathe air, have warm blood and feed their young, making each sighting a unique and special moment.

    With two daily departures from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, we depart at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm on a 2.5 hour adventure along the spectacular southwest coast of the island. Our boat, Spirit of the Sea, is equipped with a large glass bottom that allows a unique view of marine life beneath the waves.

    Our friendly multilingual team will accompany you with each sighting and provide you with information to recognize the different species. Although it is common to see dolphins, if in any case we fail to see them, we offer you a free pass to try again another day.

    Our mission is based on respect and care for marine life. We have the necessary permits from the Government of the Canary Islands and operate ethically to ensure the welfare of animals.
