Experience a 1.5-hour trip aboard the fast boat "Biosfera Jet" along the west coast of Lanzarote Island. We depart from Puerto del Carmen Marina, giving a quick briefing about the trip and safety matters on board. The crew then starts their search for dolphins and whales, and any other marine wildlife, using binoculars, doing their best with their experienced eyes. During the trip, our qualified crew will give you detailed information about the species of cetaceans you are seeing as well as other technical and historic information to ensure a complete and unique experience. Enjoy the astonishing views of Lanzarote´s coast or relax with a swim in its crystal clear waters and feel the snorkel experience. Since we are dealing with wildlife, there are times that you could end up the trip with no sightings, although we have a high percentage of success.

We are disappointed as we did not see any dolphins, whales or hammerhead sharks as advertised at the beginning of the tour. After 1 hour looking for these mammals it was proposed to swim .... at the exit of the port 😞.
Exceptional sea walk!!! We saw many, many dolphins thanks to our amazing guide Teddy! Extremely friendly, funny and interesting: it gave us valuable information about dolphins, marine wildlife in general and Lanzarote. He speaks English, French and Spanish. Thank you very much we are delighted!!!!
Friendly and funny. 🙂 It was very nice, good organisation, nice price, good information and warm water. We Love it. 🛥️⛱️
Nice family outing, very friendly captain and guide. We saw a group of little dolphins.
We did this tour today.There were 3 staff on board but the Captain was Teddy.Other reviews have stated there were no dolphins to be seen,so we didn't hold out much hope. But the staff soon spotted a pod and headed in that direction. They reduced the engine and for a good 30 minutes we were surrounded by the pod who were circling and coming close to the boat in a playful manner. After the dolphin interaction we headed back toward the harbour but stopped to allow people to swim off the boat.The staff were very patient and caring toward the children onboard. All throughout the trip they took time to explain the types of dolphin,whale etc in the locality as well as some local history. The money spent on this trip was extremely reasonable considering the staff interaction and the dolphin pod they found,and I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip and company to others seeking a trip on the sea.
The crew was very engaged and funny. We haven’t found any sea creatures but it was still nice for me and my 4yo to experience his first cruise.
Superb family excursion, we had the chance to see dolphins in large numbers. Very friendly crew, who speak Spanish, English and French.
The trip was fantastic. The crew was very friendly and told a lot. The swimmer was nice and in a nice place. Only...... no dolphins, no whales, no turtles or whatever. Of course that is a great pity, because that was the purpose of this trip.
It’s a boat ride offshore, you go to and from Puerto del Carmen, before you reach port you stop and you can swim, but it’s not a really special place, the water very transparent and deep. Very complicated to see dolphins in 50 min journey. I wouldn't repeat.
The minicruiser had good potential, but the experience was quite disappointing. The organization was bad, especially with tickets for the two boats and their different routes, which generated a bad Mood among the workers and punctuality when it came to leaving. We couldn’t see dolphins, and we didn’t enjoy the bath either, as due to bad surf they canceled that part without giving any explanation or alternative. Overall, the Service needs urgent improvement in organization, communication and customer service.
