Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching
Description
Enjoy a dolphin and whale watching cruise, sailing offshore from the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, in the area between Puerto de Mogán and the Maspalomas Lighthouse. Get on board one of our catamarans, safe and comfortable boats that, due to their characteristics, offer a pleasant navigation, with less rolling than a monohull or smaller catamarans. . After sailing in search of cetaceans, we will return to the coast, making a stop of about 30 - 45 minutes in Cala del Perchel, Taurito, Tauro or Anfi del Mar, depending on the sighting area that has been navigated. At that time you can enjoy a refreshing swim, use the snorkeling equipment included in the activity and have a refreshing drink, returning later to Puerto Rico to end the activity.

The goal of the day dolphin sports and yes we did! After half an hour of sailing we met them, unfortunately we went back after 15 minutes, so of the 3.5 hours we could see 15 minutes of dolphins, this is also the 3 stars based on because the whole excursion is about that. Then we could swim for about 45 minutes. There were also a lot of vomiting people on drillt, the organization can not do anything about this but the experience is less pleasant. + only seen dolphins + nice staff - short period dolphin watching - vomiting people - chaos with swimming (every man for himself)
Great trip out to see the dolphins didn't see any whales . Saw fling flying fish. Sea was quite rough at times and some people were seasick so be aware
It was a good experience, it was not possible to see whales but, we saw dolphins and flying fish.
We booked a boat trip via Get your Guide, the only contact was from get your guide. The booking said 10:00 with a pick up point which was easy to find. we waited at the pick up eventually calling them only to be told quite abruptly the transfer was at 09:05 and sailing at 10:00. Get your guide eventually offered a 'good will gesture' part refund as the operator needed to cover the cost of the bus..... How would we know any different if there was no contact other that the booking which said 10:00? In what way was it our fault? Bluebird also didn't reply to an email sent and resent in Spanish. So after pocketing over £50 to misinform and then blame us we didn't even get there. DONT USE EITHER GET YOUR GUIDE OR BLUEBIRD FERRIES
Beautiful boat trip many dolphins and flying fish seen. Excellent care and hospitality on board. Really worth it and no seasickness on this fine boat. Something else it was during the bus ride there and back. The driver thought he was Hamilton's brother.
Good excursion. The boat takes you close to the dolphins and you can enjoy the sight. Bring a jacket because it’s windy and it can get cold. Also the sun is strong, so get sun screen. The ride is a bit bumpy so be prepared for sea sickness. The staff is quite attentive to people.
We had a great trip. We were lucky enough to see a lot of striped dolphins with young. And as a wonderful bonus we also saw a large sea turtle, dozens of flying fish and 2 Bryde's whales! The staff is very friendly. The swim stop is delicious and with the snorkel masks you feel like you are in an aquarium: what an awful lot of fish!
Shuttle bus picked us up from our hotel and there was no additional charge. We set sail on the boat and within 15 minutes the boat was surrounded by dolphins. We then sailed on before taking an hour to snorkel before returning back to the harbour. Bus then ready to take us back to the hotel. Great day and great value for money. Highly recommend it.
Great experience! We managed to see lots of dolphins. It was well organised and lots of fun. Gemma was lovely and made the experience enjoyable. Would recommend it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our morning cruise 🛳 the boat was comfortable .Our prearranged transport was comfortable and on time
