Catamaran Trip to See Dolphins
Enjoy an unforgettable boat trip to see dolphins in the wild, swim in crystal-clear waters, go snorkelling and admire some of the most beautiful beaches and popular resorts along the south coast of Gran Canaria.

The boat has a capacity of 350 passengers, but departures operate at around half capacity to ensure everyone enjoys a more comfortable and relaxing experience.
You are free to move around the boat throughout the trip, soak up the sun on the open deck or relax in the shaded indoor seating area.


The first two hours of the excursion are dedicated to searching for whales and dolphins. Dolphins are the most commonly sighted species, although whales can also occasionally be seen.

There is more than an 85% chance of seeing dolphins in their natural habitat. If no dolphins or other cetaceans are spotted during your trip, you will receive a free ticket to repeat the excursion on another day.

Once we have located the dolphins or whales, we will stay with them for around 10 minutes. This allows you to enjoy the experience while ensuring the animals are respected and not disturbed.

After the dolphin watching, we will sail to a sheltered spot along the coast where you can enjoy a refreshing swim and go snorkelling in clear waters.

If you’re looking for even more fun, make the most of the waterslide located at the back of the boat and dive straight into the sea.
During the swimming stop, which lasts approximately one hour, complimentary soft drinks and water are available. Beer and other alcoholic drinks can be purchased on board.

During the final part of the cruise, you will enjoy spectacular views of cliffs, sea caves, ravines, beaches and some of the most famous resorts in southern Gran Canaria.


We hope that by the end of your trip you will return to shore feeling that you have enjoyed one of the highlights of your holiday in Gran Canaria.

Frequently Asked Questions – Whale and Dolphin Watching in Gran Canaria
-
How likely is it that we will see whales in Gran Canaria?
Whale sightings in Gran Canaria are much less common than dolphin sightings. In fact, whales are only seen occasionally.
Unlike dolphins, which usually stay closer to the surface and often approach boats, whales only come to the surface to breathe, making them much more difficult to spot.
-
What are the chances of seeing dolphins?
Dolphins are spotted on approximately 90% of our trips.
-
What happens if we don’t see any whales or dolphins?
Whale and dolphin sightings are guaranteed. If no dolphins or any other cetaceans are seen during the trip, the crew will give you a ticket so that you can join another excursion on a different day.
No refunds will be given. If you require the pick-up service, you will need to pay €6 per person for this service.
-
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking during the first few days of your holiday in Gran Canaria, so that you have the opportunity to join another trip if no cetaceans are spotted during your first excursion.
-
Can you swim with dolphins?
No. Swimming with dolphins in Gran Canaria is not only dangerous, but also strictly prohibited.
-
How long will we stay with the dolphins?
Normally, the boat stays with a group of dolphins for no more than 5 to 10 minutes to avoid causing them stress. Most of the excursion is spent cruising in search of whales and dolphins.
-
How early should I arrive at the boat if I am making my own way there?
If you are making your own way to the harbour, you should arrive at the boat at least 30 minutes before departure for boarding.
