Boat trip
We booked a morning tour, waited half an hour in the sun and then it turned out our confirmed booking didn’t get to their system they said. They offered us to get picked later in the afternoon. The trip was more like a torture tour instead. The sea was calm but they were sailing super fast that half of the people on the boat were sick including myself. All this to get to see some dolphins for 3 mn. Worst boat experience of my life
The thrill of watching dolphins in their natural environment is one of the great experiences Gran Canaria has to offer. Onboard Spirit of the Sea – World Cetacean Alliance certified for responsible whale and dolphin watching – you'll get to see these friendly and intelligent creatures in their natural habitat.
There are six types of dolphin to spot, including bottlenose and common. And fin – the second-largest mammal – and pilot whales also make regular appearances. In fact, one-third of all species of cetaceans, which include whales and porpoises, can be found in these waters.
You'll be able to keep a look-out for other creatures – turtles, flying fish and brightly coloured parrot fish – thanks to the Spirit of the Sea's viewing area. Plus, there's a swim stop included, for when you want to cool off in the water.
