Highlights
- Start a 2.5-hour cruise along Gran Canaria's southwest Atlantic waters from Puerto Rico to explore one of Europe’s most biodiverse cetacean corridors, where up to 30 species such as bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins, and pilot whales reside.
- Experience the thrill of spotting cetaceans alongside your boat by stepping into the underwater viewing galleries within the hull. These purpose-built windows at water level offer a unique opportunity to observe marine life from inside the catamaran without any spray or crowds blocking your view.
- Enjoy narrations in English, Spanish, German, and French provided by a multilingual crew throughout the cruise. They identify species, explain behaviors, and share fascinating details that transform this boat trip into an memorable experience.
- The catamaran is specifically designed for cetacean observation from scratch rather than being converted or adapted. This design ensures optimal sightlines, deck space, and gallery windows to provide passengers with exceptional views of marine life.
Your Experience
Start an exciting 2.5-hour cruise from Puerto Rico to witness dolphins and pilot whales up close via the deck or through glass-bottom viewing galleries with our multilingual crew aboard a catamaran. A free return voucher is provided if no cetaceans are spotted.
Getting started
The departures at 10:30am and 1:30pm commence from Puerto Base harbor in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. Transfer services to select southern locations such as Mogán, Taurito, Maspalomas, San AgustÃn, Playa del Inglés, and BahÃa Feliz are available based on availability; your confirmation will include pickup details if you arrange this service.
The southwest coast of Gran Canaria is situated along a cetacean-rich corridor in Europe with up to 30 species recorded. The cruise departs from Puerto Rico into the main sighting zone, where the crew actively searches for dolphins, pilot whales, and other marine life.
- Glass-hull viewing galleries: When cetaceans are spotted, guests can explore twin-hull galleries with water-level windows that offer an engaging view of dolphins and whales swimming alongside the boat — a unique perspective compared to deck watching.
- Multilingual crew commentary: Throughout the journey, the crew provides narration in English, Spanish, German, and French. They identify species, explain behaviors, and share insights about Gran Canaria's marine environment.
- Free return voucher: If no cetaceans are seen during your trip, you will receive a complimentary return voucher valid for one year with no conditions attached.
