Dolphin and Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria
Description
Departing daily from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, we set out at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm on a 2.5-hour excursion along the island’s southwest coast, where we search for dolphins and other cetaceans in their natural habitat. Our vessel, Spirit of the Sea, accommodates 97 guests and has a large glass bottom, offering a rare chance to observe the underwater world from the comfort of the boat. Our mission is to provide a respectful and ethical wildlife-watching experience.

Seeing dolphins, and sometimes even whales, in their natural setting creates a powerful and memorable experience. Join us to connect with the beauty of the marine world, and leave with a deeper appreciation for protecting these wonderful creatures.

An amazing experience with an incredible crew! The ride was quite choppy, so I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand—nearly half the passengers were seasick! We found that the side seats were the best spot to sit. Don't worry about missing out, though, as you can see the dolphins from every angle. The crew was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always smiling. They worked tirelessly to keep the ocean clean by picking up trash along the way, while also doing everything they could to comfort sick passengers. A few tips: hold on tight, keep a close eye on your kids, and don’t put your bags on the floor, as water did splash into the boat at one point (which was actually pretty fun!). Seeing a whole pod of dolphins jumping and swimming right next to us was absolutely amazing. To top it off, the crew let us swim for 5 to 10 minutes before heading back to the dock. Thank you, Spirit of the Sea!
Absolutely fantastic, worth the money. Unfortunately our hotel wasn't in the area for pick up and drop off. But we got the taxi's easily enough.
Very nice experience. This was the second time we traveled on the same boat. Last time was two years ago. We were lucky to see the dolphins early on the trip. I also saw flying fish. Reach even a stop to swim at the end. Totally magical trip. Very nice staff on the boat. 10/10
Really nice trip! It was a bit windy and waves, but the staff was super helpful ! They helped you get around on deck, and if you where seasick, they helped you! And then! You saw a lot of dolphins!
We took the cruise for a day, and since we did not see any dolphins, we returned the next day for free. The only downside is that we did not have a choice of schedule; otherwise, everything was perfect, the dolphins were indeed present.
We had a really great time on the ship; the captain and his crew were nice and helpful. We saw a shark, a sea turtle, many flying fish, and a lot of dolphins. Simply indescribably beautiful. The Spirit of the Sea is a well-preserved catamaran with a sun-protected lower deck and an open upper deck. There are free drinks and a small selection of alcoholic beverages and snacks for a moderate fee. Everything was clean and well-maintained. This was our third time on this tour, and it certainly won't be the last!
Recommended trip to the Atlantic with a competent crew. There was also a warning about the strong seas, which unfortunately some ignored and let it go through their heads. The only negative was the long wait for departure.
Excellent from pick up to drop off, use Viator every year for the same trip for the last 11 years. Will use again next year.
Super nice trip, cheerful and helpful staff and dolphins seen too! 😊
Great trip!! We saw a lot of dolphins and the crew was really nice and helpful. The seas were quite rough and the crew did everything they could to make everyone feel well.
