Gran Canaria · DOLPHIN & WHALE SAFARI BOATS
16 reviewed
Pods of dolphins and the odd pilot whale live in the deep water off the south coast all year. These safari boats have the best odds of finding them: which sail from Puerto Rico versus Arguineguín, how long you spend at sea, whether snorkelling is thrown in, and what a seat costs.

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…”

“The sea was not calm, so spotting dolphins was unlikely, yet the boat still went out. The replacement "no sightings" trip only turns out to be valid for a month, which is not much use if you are at the end of your visit.”

“Fantastic boat trip from the greeting onto the boat to when we left the boat at the end of our trip , they made sure that everyone on the boat got a good chance to the dolphins from every part of the boat .”
4-hour dolphin hunt from Puerto de Mogán aboard the KEEPER UNO, with snacks, snorkel gear, and a cove swim stop in Gran Canaria.
“Lovely trip and being on a small boat made all the difference as you were able to see the siphons much more easily than other bigger boats. There were only 7 of us. Made for a very relaxing trip. Hosts were friendly too. Would recommend spending a little more for a more personalised experience”

A 2.5-hour cetacean hunt off Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria with a glass-bottom catamaran, onboard learning, and a real chance at whales.
“The boat ride was pleasant, and although we didn't see any marine life, it was good to be out on the water. The boat's crew are welcoming and kept you informed about potential dolphin and whale sightings throughout the journey. Some free drinks and snacks are available throughout the journey. The person managing the boat's check in however, was quite unwelcoming and lectured us pretty harshly after I informed them that our trip had been rescheduled via Viator. I'm unsure why they felt it necessary to be so rude, not great customer care. Based on that experience I would try an alternative boat company next time.”
2-hour catamaran in Gran Canaria’s south to spot dolphins and whales, meet at Puerto Rico, and enjoy a free soft drink.
“The first time we didn’t see any dolphins so we’ve got the ticket for one more try, it’s really nice of you! I do really appreciate! The second time we saw a family of dolphins at the end. It would be perfect to get some more information which species was it, a little more commentary. I would do it one more time!”
