Most of the island’s best days happen just offshore. Here are the boat trips worth booking from Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogán and Las Palmas: dolphin cruises, snorkel stops, sunset sails and glass-bottom runs, each with its price, its length, and how rough the water tends to get.

Join a 2.5-hour dolphin watching cruise from Puerto Rico on Gran Canaria’s southwest coast, with glass-bottom viewing and a return voucher.
“We were picked up in a clean air conditioned bus and transported straight to the port. Once in the bud the guides we’re friendly and spoke it all various languages to ensure everyone was included. There were alot of people experiencing sea sickness but the crew were well prepared for this and frequently checked on people who were feeling unwell. We saw lots of dolphins and my 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed her experience too! The coach was there when we got off the boat too ready to collect us and kindly waited for my daughter to use the toilets near by. Great value for money and it being 2.5…”

Shared Gran Canaria yacht trip with cava, open bar, tapas snacks, snorkeling, and paddleboards near Mogán. Max 12, 3–4 hours.
“We had a fabulous Christmas Day on this trip — so relaxing from start to finish. We sat on comfy cushions with a glass of cava as we cruised along the coast, stopping to see the cliffs and a cave that becomes a waterfall when it rains (luckily not that day!). The tapas-style lunch was delicious and filling, and it was great fun chatting with the other guests. We stopped near Port of Morgan for paddle boarding — very choppy but hilarious watching my daughter wobble about! The hosts were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of room for all 12 of us. I’d definitely recommend this trip,…”

A 4-hour sailing trip from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria with tapas, unlimited drinks, snorkel and paddleboarding plus optional jet skis.
“What a wonderful day! We had such a great time, relaxing out on the water with our guide and crew. They were so accommodating in so many ways. From serving drinks to providing a nice light fair and keeping the day calm and relax. They provide great snorkeling gear, paddle boards, and jet skis. The crew and the experience was top-notch. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. Five stars in so many ways.”
4-hour sail from Puerto de Mogán on a small boat, with lunch, beer and wine, snorkel gear, and a real chance to sail.
“Wonderful trip, something different from mass tourist experience. The 49 feet sailboat is beautiful, well maintained, very clean, and equipped appropriately. There’s not many experiences like cruising under full sails. The crew, Dagmara and Marek, were great. Real experts with charming personalities, sharing lot of knowledge with us. We were sailing near southern part of the island, with some majestic views of rocky cliffs and hidden villages, and we snorkeled in a quiet bay on our way back. As a bonus, nice lunch was waiting for us on board. One person had just his birthday, so we sang him a song, like proper sailors :) Overall, beautiful experience. Thank you!”
