Luis C.D.September 2023

Amazing if you do not get seasick. It was incredible to see two different types of dolphin so close, but there were some people close to me who were seasick and had quite a bad time. It was a unique experience.

Rhys P.September 2023

Highly recommended. We saw a ton of dolphins that swam right next to the boat for several minutes.

Chelsea A.September 2023

No need to go to Norway. There are whales in Gran Canaria too! Although we just saw a whale’s spray, they told us that other times more can be seen. What we were able to see were many, many dolphins.

Abbie H.September 2023

Lovely. We saw 2 different types of dolphins, hundreds of them, and mothers with their calves.

Christopher W.H.September 2023

Impressive. I didn’t know that we were going to see so many dolphins so close to the coast. Great boat and great service.

Robert N.September 2023

Stunning. I had read in other comments that this was an ideal trip for whale-watching, and although I didn’t see any, it was worthwhile for seeing the dolphins.

Imogen H.August 2023

Spectacular to see the dolphins leaping so close to the boat. I don’t remember what kind of dolphins they were, but they approached the boat and swam nearby for some time. Highly recommended.

David V.August 2023

Spectacular for whale watching. I went with the intention of seeing dolphins, since that was what they guaranteed, but I was lucky enough to also see a whale. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life.

Mia Z.E.August 2023

Fantastic, but be careful if you get seasick. To see the dolphins you have to leave the coastal area and the boat moves around quite a bit. Although I loved the trip, I saw some people vomiting and having a bad time.

EilidhAugust 2023

We saw a mother and baby bright whale close to the boat towards the end of our trip which was such an amazing experience. The staff were very helpful and informative and it was easy to park right T the marina. All in all a very successful trip.

FrazerAugust 2023

Saw dolphins first time. Worthwhile!! We only had to travel 15 minutes out to sea and then had dolphins all around the boat for the next 20 minutes. Amazing adventure. Some incredible pictures taken. ?

 

 

Edward P.L.August 2023

You should go to see the dolphins if you go to Gran Canaria. I went with my children and my wife because they told us we would definitely see them, and if not then they would give us a ticket to see them on another day, so it was completely guaranteed. We saw many dolphins and even a turtle very close by. It seemed incredible to us that they were only a few miles from the coast.

Lily N.July 2023

An essential thing to do in Gran Canaria. I’m from Gran Canaria and I thought that this boat trip was only for tourists, but when I went with a group of friends, I was so excited to see dolphins so close to our coast.

Owen F.H.July 2023

Exciting. I didn’t think that we would be seeing so many dolphins together. It was very exciting to see them jump so close to the boat.

Daisy I.July 2023

Stunning. We were surrounded by more than 100 dolphins for 10 minutes.

Joe H.D.July 2023

Brilliant. I have already gone on this trip 4 times and I’ll do it again as soon as I can.

Charles L.July 2023

Very exciting. We came to Las Palmas on a cruise and had enough time to go on the boat and enjoy a marvellous experience watching the dolphins leaping around near the boat.

Deborah A.July 2023

Excellent value- We loved the dolphin trip and saw two pods of dolphins. It was wonderful to see them in their natural environment.

DionneJuly 2023

Good trip well organized. Hotel pick up from playa del ingles on time. We did see dolphins which was brilliant and worth it fir us as we didn't suffer sea sickness the crew were very good on board telling us which type of dolphins that we saw etc. However if u have small children please be aware that the sea journey is rough at times children and adults were being sick And were really bad !! we took anti sea sickness tablets which did help a bit but still felt queasy at times the crew handed out sick bags snd were helpful but think again if you have children or are inclined towards motion sickness it really isn't worth it if you do . smoking is allowed at the back if the boat which in my opinion should be stopped it didn't help at all if you are feeling or being sick

You can’t miss it. If you are staying in Puerto Rico or the southern area, you absolutely must go to the Spirit of the Sea.

Alex C.June 2023

Perfect for going with friends or family. I went with some friends who had already been on this boat and who had convinced me to go with them. I was so shocked to see more than three types of dolphins during the trip. Incredible.

Nicole A.June 2023

Definitely something you’ll want to do again. This is the third year that I’ve gone on the boat to see the dolphins, and I have always seen at least one pod of dolphins. I don’t think I’d ever get tired of seeing them.

Paige K.A.June 2023

Very exciting. We had gone 2 days before to Palmitos Park to see the dolphins and we loved it, but on the Spirit we could see them in their habitat, swimming and jumping. Nature at its finest.

Carlos O.June 2023

Perfecto. Un viaje sin complicaciones, vale la pena.
