Spirit of the Sea: Cetacean sighting in Gran Canaria
Description
We are passionate about the sea, dolphins and whales and try to share this passion with our clients. For us it is also very important to take care of the environment and whenever we can we take fishing nets or large drifting plastics out of the sea or save animals in danger, such as turtles entangled in these dangers. We have been collaborating with the university and marine scientists for many years providing data and sharing experiences or participating in projects of different nature and the presence of you aboard our ship will help us to continue with this project.

Finding the stand to get aboard is easily marked. The staff at desk and getting aboard were super friendly. The tour was narrated throughout in different languages so it is inclusive for everyone. As soon as boat driver saw anything visible to guests, he pointed it out ensuring no one missed anything. Once we reached the dolphins the staff were so helpful in ensuring everyone could safely get to the bars around the boat to get a good look and get videos etc. The staff aboard were happy to help hold you or your children in place to ensure safety and doing it with a smile. It was an amazing experience for myself and my children and I'm so glad we booked it, it isn't guaranteed that dolphins will be out to be seen but we got very lucky and saw around 20-30 dolphins, to see them in their natural habitat was amazing. the staff also are super cautious of the fact that we are in their home and not to disturb them too much which shows how attentive they are to their jobs in ensuring the sea animals are kept safe while also collecting some plastic they spotted while we was coming back to land. I would 100000% recommend doing this tour and doing it with this company ensures the sea life are also at the top of their priorities.
Wow! The crew were fantastic, very knowledgeable and nothing was a bother to them . We thoroughly enjoyed our trip seeing the dolphins swimming so freely was as truly amazing experience . They even released a sea turtle on our trip they they had caught trapped allowing it back to freedom . Honestly give it a go you so t regret it !
It was just really great! We had a super nice morning. We even saw dolphins, that was really a highlight! The dolphins even put on a show! Unfortunately we didn't spot any whales, but the crew really tried their best and kept a lookout for them the whole time. You could tell that they were really making an effort and not just driving their route. The crew was super nice, helpful, and always kept us in the loop. That way you knew the whole time what was happening. I usually get seasick super fast, but because the sea was so calm, I had no problems at all. The pickup service was also on the minute punctual and the entire organization just worked out perfectly. Everything was totally professional and yet very relaxed. For my family, that was a really beautiful memory of our vacation on Gran Canaria. We would do it again anytime!
Great Crew. We were lucky to see whales and dolphins and it was great!
Nice trip, the ocean not too troubled so no seasickness within our family We've seen a lot of dolphins
It's not the provider's fault, but there were a lot of waves offshore and many people were seasick and vomiting. The trip was anything but pleasant. We only saw 3 or 4 dolphins underwater. The staff was very, very nice, that's for sure.
We really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it. We were lucky to see a group of dolphins and even a Blainville's beaked whale, which was very special. Seeing these amazing animals so close to the boat was an unforgettable experience. What we appreciated most was the way the crew treated the wildlife with great care and respect. They never chased or disturbed the animals and gave them plenty of space. Everyone on board was very friendly and helpful, and you could really feel their passion for marine life. We also had calm seas, but some people still got seasick, so it is worth bringing some motion sickness tablets just in case.
We had a wonderful time with Spirit of the Sea, which allows for whale watching while respecting their environment and nature.
Spectacular day in which we saw flying fish, turtles, and many dolphins. I recommend a lot of sunscreen if you are in the sun
A great experience, great boats with glass bottom Hulls for a close up experience with the sea life, the sea was choppy nothing that can be done about that but if unwell the staff will try and assist. We got some great time with a squad of Atlantic spotted dolphins, fly fish which are hard to video because they are quick. Would return.
