Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching
Overview
Mobile ticket
Enjoy a dolphin and whale watching cruise, sailing offshore from the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, in the area between Puerto de Mogán and the Maspalomas Lighthouse.
Get on board one of our catamarans, safe and comfortable boats that, due to their characteristics, offer a pleasant navigation, with less rolling than a monohull or smaller catamarans.
.
After sailing in search of cetaceans, we will return to the coast, making a stop of about 30 - 45 minutes in Cala del Perchel, Taurito, Tauro or Anfi del Mar, depending on the sighting area that has been navigated. At that time you can enjoy a refreshing swim, use the snorkeling equipment included in the activity and have a refreshing drink, returning later to Puerto Rico to end the activity.

5.00We did this experience as a couple and we were picked up from our hotel in Maspalomas on a coach. The organiser had contacted us a couple of days before with very clear timings and instructions and a pin of the pick up point. They follow this up to check we understood and we’re happy to meet them at the rendezvous point. Coach ride for us was under an hour and very pleasant. You arrive at the marina and our met by the crew who help you sort tickets and get on the boat. The boat was clean, had toilets and plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs. Crew were really friendly and communicated well in multiple languages. There is a bar where you can purchase drinks and some light snacks, but the drinks are free when you stop for swim at the end of the tour so if you take drinks with you, you’ll save some cash. We were very lucky and that we found dolphins about 90 minutes into our trip and saw them for about 10 minutes all around the boat, everyone was having a lovely time. The crew told us some facts about the Dolphins and let people watch in amazement as they leapt out of the water. About 10 to 15 minutes later the ship about turned and headed back towards home, stopped just outside the port so that guests could disembark and have a swim in the sea. Snorkelling equipment was provided and there’s two access areas at the end of the boat along with a slide. We had about 40 minutes to swim, with crew around to keep an eye on everybody. They were really good at keeping us all organised. Highly recommend this tour, especially if like us you have never seen dolphins in the wild before. We were out for about 4 1/2 hours in total, we loved every minute. Top tips. Take drinks & swimming stuff. If you want a top deck side seat get there early. The bottom seats are just as good but nobody on our trip used them for some reason.
Wonderful experience!

3.00That you don't necessarily are going to watch the animals...we weren't lucky that day. They said we could try another time but that was our last day in the island so maybe consider this before taking the tour.

1.00I put a star on because you can't put less on it. I went with my partner because we wanted to see whales. They told us they'd had a few lucky days with the dolphins. We were 3/4 hours away and saw nothing. I cheat more not being able to. We had another activity in the afternoon and told the guide what we did. He told us that they take advantage of tourists, that dolphins usually move around the west of the island and not the south. We got ripped off. They give you the option to come back another day for free, yes, but to see exactly the same, nothing. They tell you that you can claim the money where you booked but for this app you can not claim... DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!
