What To Expect
Discover the incredible world of dolphins and cetaceans off the coast of Gran Canaria! The Canary Islands are home to around 30 species of cetaceans, including dolphins, whales, orcas, and porpoises, making it one of the most biodiverse areas in Europe for marine life sightings. These fascinating animals breathe air, are warm-blooded, and care for their young like us, making each sighting a special experience. Departing twice daily from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, our excursions leave at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm for a 2.5-hour journey along the scenic southwest coast. Our vessel, Spirit of the Sea, offers a one-of-a-kind experience with its spacious glass bottom, allowing you to view the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. Our friendly, multilingual crew provides insight into each species spotted and ensures a memorable experience for all passengers. Although dolphin sightings are common, if we don’t see any dolphins, we’ll give you a free pass to come back and try again on another day.

1.003 hours by boat to see 4 dolphins and a turtle is not expected, I understand that it is impossible to always see these animals but I would have expected at least the option to make another departure until I could enjoy the experience they offer
Experience not to forget

5.00It has been an amazing experience, the crew very friendly and very attentive, insisted a lot to be able to see the dolphins, as they were very far away and it was hard to see them, but in the end we saw them playing with the boat, it is an experience to repeat and with the same boat and company.
Great trip although...

4.00It was a beautiful experience because we could see dolphins, but there were too many waves for me, I was a little afraid and people got sick. Very nice and fun staff.
